Michael M. Raith

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Basalt
• Igneous rock
• Quartz

Michael M. Raith mostly deals with Geochemistry, Granulite, Metamorphism, Archean and Khondalite. His Granulite investigation overlaps with Sillimanite and Metamorphic rock. His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spinel, Quartz, Mineralogy and Analytical chemistry.

His Metamorphism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gneiss, Mafic and Dharwar Craton. His research in Gneiss intersects with topics in Felsic and Protolith, Zircon. His Archean research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plutonism and Monazite.

His most cited work include:

• Crustal architecture and evolution of the Eastern Ghats Belt and adjacent regions of India (249 citations)
• Non-ideal mixing in the phlogopite-annite binary: constraints from experimental data on Mg−Fe partitioning and a reformulation of the biotite-garnet geothermometer (236 citations)
• Evolution of the Continental Crust in the Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Belt, India and new constraints for Rodinia reconstruction: implications from Sm–Nd, Rb–Sr and Pb–Pb isotopes ☆ (220 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Granulite, Metamorphism, Petrology and Metamorphic rock. His study in the field of Gneiss, Zircon and Igneous rock is also linked to topics like Charnockite. When carried out as part of a general Granulite research project, his work on Sapphirine is frequently linked to work in Sillimanite, Anatexis, Crust and Shear zone, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

As part of the same scientific family, Michael M. Raith usually focuses on Metamorphism, concentrating on Mafic and intersecting with Ultramafic rock. His research integrates issues of Precambrian, Nepheline syenite and Hornblende in his study of Petrology. His research in Metamorphic rock focuses on subjects like Mineralogy, which are connected to Quartz, Plagioclase, Chlorite, Alkali feldspar and Feldspar.

He most often published in these fields:

• Geochemistry (76.71%)
• Granulite (49.32%)
• Metamorphism (42.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2018)?

• Geochemistry (76.71%)
• Granulite (49.32%)
• Metamorphism (42.47%)

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

Michael M. Raith mainly investigates Geochemistry, Granulite, Metamorphism, Zircon and Petrology. His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Recrystallization and Anorthosite. His work on Sapphirine as part of general Granulite research is frequently linked to Sillimanite, Anatexis, Gneiss and Shear zone, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Gneiss, Protolith are connected with Spinel and Phlogopite and other disciplines. He has included themes like Metamorphic rock and Monazite in his Metamorphism study. His study on Provenance is often connected to Charnockite as part of broader study in Petrology.

Between 2005 and 2018, his most popular works were:

• U–Th–Pb monazite geochronometry of the Eastern Ghats Belt, India: Timing and spatial disposition of poly-metamorphism (143 citations)
• Crustal evolution of the Southern Granulite Terrane, south India: New geochronological and geochemical data for felsic orthogneisses and granites (88 citations)
• Mesoproterozoic rift-related alkaline magmatism at Elchuru, Prakasam Alkaline Province, SE India (82 citations)

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

• Igneous rock
• Basalt
• Quartz

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Granulite, Zircon and Petrology. His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Plutonism and Dharwar Craton. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crust, Felsic and Igneous differentiation, Mantle.

The various areas that he examines in his Zircon study include Trace element, Rodinia and Anorthosite. His Petrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fractional crystallization and Igneous rock. His Metamorphic rock research incorporates themes from Metamictization and Sillimanite.
