Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of investigation include Zircon, Precambrian, Geochemistry, Supercontinent and Terrane. In his study, Volcanic rock and Hadean is strongly linked to Provenance, which falls under the umbrella field of Zircon. In his work, Paleozoic and Magmatism is strongly intertwined with Crust, which is a subfield of Precambrian.

His work on Geochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Metamorphic facies. His work focuses on many connections between Supercontinent and other disciplines, such as Rodinia, that overlap with his field of interest in Geochronology, Mafic, Proterozoic, Gabbro and Felsic. The Terrane study combines topics in areas such as Basement and Protolith.

His most cited work include:

  • Components and episodic growth of Precambrian crust in the Cathaysia Block, South China: Evidence from U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes of zircons in Neoproterozoic sediments (302 citations)
  • Components and episodic growth of Precambrian crust in the Cathaysia Block, South China: Evidence from U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes of zircons in Neoproterozoic sediments (302 citations)
  • A Paleoproterozoic orogeny recorded in a long-lived cratonic remnant (Wuyishan terrane), eastern Cathaysia Block, China (298 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Zircon, Basement, Crust and Petrology. The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Orogeny and Terrane. His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Supercontinent, Provenance and Archean in his study of Zircon.

  • Geochemistry (128.26%)
  • Basement (61.96%)

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

Zircon, Geochemistry, Basement, Sedimentary rock and Protolith are his primary areas of study. Jin-Hai Yu combines subjects such as Metamorphic rock, Felsic, Orogeny, Paleozoic and Detritus with his study of Zircon. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subduction and Magmatism.

His Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Precambrian and Pluton. His Precambrian research includes elements of Foreland basin and Maturity. Petrology and Metamorphism are all intrinsically tied to his study in Protolith.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unusually high electrical conductivity of phlogopite: the possible role of fluorine and geophysical implications (20 citations)
  • Basement components of the Xiangshan-Yuhuashan area, South China: Defining the boundary between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks (15 citations)
  • Basement components of the Xiangshan-Yuhuashan area, South China: Defining the boundary between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks (15 citations)

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

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary scientific interests are in Zircon, Basement, Geochemistry, Detritus and Provenance. Jin-Hai Yu studies Zircon, focusing on Protolith in particular. His Basement research includes themes of Sedimentary rock, Clastic rock, Paleozoic, Precambrian and Gondwana.

His research brings together the fields of Orogeny and Geochemistry. His studies in Detritus integrate themes in fields like Felsic, Mafic, Volcanic rock, Supercontinent and Platform. His work carried out in the field of Provenance brings together such families of science as Sedimentary basin and Rodinia.
