His work deals with themes such as Metamorphism, Granulite and Dharwar Craton, which intersect with Archean.
The various areas that Ian R. Fletcher examines in his Monazite study include Microprobe and Mineralization.
His most cited work include:
- Reassessing the first appearance of eukaryotes and cyanobacteria (429 citations)
- Advances in SHRIMP geochronology and their impact on understanding the tectonic and metallogenic evolution of southern Brazil (141 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ian R. Fletcher mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Archean and Craton.
The study of Geochemistry is intertwined with the study of Petrology in a number of ways.
The concepts of his Zircon study are interwoven with issues in Pilbara Craton, Felsic, Igneous rock and Yilgarn Craton.
Ian R. Fletcher has researched Geochronology in several fields, including Peridotite, Magmatism, Anorthosite and Ultramafic rock.
His study in Archean is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crust, Gneiss, Proterozoic and Dharwar Craton.
In his research on the topic of Isochron, Country rock is strongly related with Granulite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (94.03%)
- Zircon (46.27%)
- Geochronology (35.82%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

- Craton (26.87%)
- Zircon (46.27%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Craton, Zircon, Geochronology and Pilbara Craton.
Much of his study explores Geochemistry relationship to Proterozoic.
His Zircon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Foreland basin, Structural basin, Siliciclastic, Igneous rock and Petrology.
His studies in Pilbara Craton integrate themes in fields like Felsic and Archean.
In his study, Transtension, Intraplate earthquake and Precambrian is strongly linked to Sedimentary basin, which falls under the umbrella field of Metamorphism.
His Monazite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary depositional environment and Mineralization.
Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- In situ U-Pb geochronology of xenotime and monazite from the Abra polymetallic deposit in the Capricorn Orogen, Australia: Dating hydrothermal mineralization and fluid flow in a long-lived crustal structure (37 citations)
- The timing of gold mineralization across the eastern Yilgarn craton using U–Pb geochronology of hydrothermal phosphate minerals (35 citations)
- Petrogenesis of the ̃2·77 Ga Monts de Cristal Complex, Gabon: Evidence for Direct Precipitation of Pt-arsenides from Basaltic Magma (32 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Sedimentary rock
Ian R. Fletcher spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Craton, Geochronology, Monazite and Sedimentary depositional environment.
Ian R. Fletcher interconnects Terrane and Yilgarn Craton in the investigation of issues within Geochemistry.
His Terrane research includes themes of Structural basin, Inversion, Provenance, Petrology and Pilbara Craton.
His research in Geochronology intersects with topics in Greenschist and Metamorphic facies.
His study brings together the fields of Mineralization and Monazite.
