- Finding deeply buried deposits using geochemistry (144 citations)
- Rapid development of negative Ce anomalies in surface waters and contrasting REE patterns in groundwaters associated with Zn–Pb massive sulphide deposits (144 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Groundwater, Mineralogy, Hydrothermal circulation and Basalt.
His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Mineralization, Porphyry copper deposit and Atacamite.
In his work, Lithology is strongly intertwined with Surface water, which is a subfield of Groundwater.
His Mineralogy research includes elements of Environmental chemistry, Gossan and Sediment.
His work deals with themes such as Volcano, Caldera, Aeolian processes, Geomorphology and Submarine, which intersect with Hydrothermal circulation.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit, Mantle wedge, Mantle and Oceanic crust.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Metallogeny, Sediment, Mineralization and Mineral exploration are his primary areas of study.
He has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Heavy mineral, Fracture and Structural basin.
His Heavy mineral research focuses on Galena and how it relates to Axinite and Sulfide minerals.
Matthew I. Leybourne interconnects Magmatic underplating and Continental crust, Crust in the investigation of issues within Metallogeny.
His Sediment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Glacial period and Magmatism.
In general Mineralization, his work in Porphyry copper deposit and Gossan is often linked to Rare-earth element linking many areas of study.

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
- Igneous rock
Matthew I. Leybourne mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Galena, Heavy mineral, Mantle and Basalt.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Geochemistry, Mantle plume is strongly linked to Subduction.
His Galena research integrates issues from Arsenopyrite, Molybdenite and Pyrite.
His studies deal with areas such as Mineralization, Automated mineralogy, Axinite, Sulfide minerals and Mineral exploration as well as Heavy mineral.
His Mantle research incorporates elements of Mantle wedge and Metallogeny.
His studies in Basalt integrate themes in fields like Magmatic underplating, Crust, Metasomatism, Large igneous province and Phenocryst.
