Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Igneous rock

His primary areas of investigation include Zircon, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Paleontology and Precambrian. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Orogeny, Magma chamber, Pumice, Gondwana and Silicic. His work on Pilbara Craton expands to the thematically related Geochemistry.

His work deals with themes such as Supergroup, Siliciclastic and Diagenesis, which intersect with Geochronology. In general Paleontology, his work in Basement, Fossil evidence, Cambrian explosion and Stratigraphy is often linked to Current age linking many areas of study. His Precambrian study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Monazite, Proterozoic and Terrane.

His most cited work include:

  • A New Understanding of the Provinces of the Amazon Craton Based on Integration of Field Mapping and U-Pb and Sm-Nd Geochronology (287 citations)
  • The neoproterozoic Mantiqueira Province and its African connections: a zircon-based U-Pb geochronologic subdivision for the Brasiliano/Pan-African systems of orogens (199 citations)
  • 1.6 Ga U-Pb zircon age for the Chorhat Sandstone, lower Vindhyan, India: Possible implications for early evolution of animals (179 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ian R. Fletcher mainly investigates Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Monazite and Archean. His work deals with themes such as Craton and Petrology, which intersect with Geochemistry. Zircon is the subject of his research, which falls under Paleontology.

Ian R. Fletcher interconnects Orogeny, Volcanic rock, Sedimentary rock, Mineralogy and Pilbara Craton in the investigation of issues within Geochronology. His Monazite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mineralization and Greenstone belt. Ian R. Fletcher combines subjects such as Felsic and Terrane with his study of Archean.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (69.32%)
  • Zircon (44.32%)
  • Geochronology (39.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2012)?

  • Geochemistry (69.32%)
  • Zircon (44.32%)
  • Volcanic rock (6.82%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Zircon, Volcanic rock, Geochronology and Craton. His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Hornblende and Yilgarn Craton. His research integrates issues of Period, Late Miocene, Gabbro, Ophiolite and Petrogenesis in his study of Zircon.

Ian R. Fletcher has included themes like Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe, Supergroup and Monazite in his Volcanic rock study. His Monazite study combines topics in areas such as Greenstone belt, Archean, Precambrian and Mineralization. His Craton research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mantle and Anoxic waters.

Between 2007 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Metallogenesis of the Carajás Mineral Province, Southern Amazon Craton, Brazil: Varying styles of Archean through Paleoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic base- and precious-metal mineralisation (102 citations)
  • Deposition of 1.88-billion-year-old iron formations as a consequence of rapid crustal growth (79 citations)
  • Broad Synchroneity of Three Gold Mineralization Styles in the Kalgoorlie Gold Field: SHRIMP, U-Pb, and 40Ar/39Ar Geochronological Evidence (50 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Igneous rock

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Craton, Volcanic rock, Yilgarn Craton and Vein. Ian R. Fletcher works in the field of Geochemistry, focusing on Mantle in particular. His Mantle research integrates issues from Sedimentary rock, Geochronology, Mineralogy and Anoxic waters.

His Volcanic rock study incorporates themes from Greenstone belt, Archean, Precambrian and Monazite. His Monazite study is focused on Zircon in general. His study in Yilgarn Craton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sill, Fuchsite, Dike, Metamorphism and Metasomatism.
