Ian McDougall mainly investigates Paleontology, Geochemistry, Basalt, Mineralogy and Geochronology.
His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shear zone and Hornblende.
His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Volcano, Magma and Neon, Isotopes of neon.
His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Biotite and Radiogenic nuclide.
His Radiogenic nuclide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Batholith, Plagioclase and Closure temperature.
His Geochronology study combines topics in areas such as Anorthoclase and Clastic rock.

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Basalt
- Volcano
Paleontology, Geochronology, Clastic rock, Argon–argon dating and Pumice are his primary areas of study.
East African Rift, Igneous rock, Pleistocene, Kenyanthropus and Australopithecus are among the areas of Paleontology where Ian McDougall concentrates his study.
His Igneous rock research incorporates elements of Neogene, Pyroclastic rock and Volcanic rock.
His Pleistocene research includes elements of Chronostratigraphy and Recent African origin of modern humans.
He interconnects Flame photometry, Mineralogy and Sanidine in the investigation of issues within Geochronology.
Ian McDougall focuses mostly in the field of Pumice, narrowing it down to topics relating to Anorthoclase and, in certain cases, Explosive eruption.
