What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Subduction, Paleontology, Zircon and Crust.
The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Batholith and Magmatism.
His Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Metamorphism, Lithosphere and Earth science.
His work on Cretaceous, Cenozoic, Provenance and Thermochronology as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Arc, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Zircon course of study focuses on Terrane and Gondwana.
His Crust study which covers Petrology that intersects with Partial melting.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (92.98%)
- Subduction (41.14%)
- Paleontology (28.43%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Subduction, Mantle, Paleontology and Crust are his primary areas of study.
Zircon, Geochronology, Igneous rock, Mafic and Continental crust are subfields of Geochemistry in which his conducts study.
His work carried out in the field of Subduction brings together such families of science as Petrology, Lithosphere, Magmatism and Transition zone.
Mihai N. Ducea studied Mantle and Batholith that intersect with Flat slab subduction, Eclogite and Farallon Plate.
His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Elevation and Plateau.
His Crust research includes themes of Passive margin, Continental collision, Back-arc basin and Ultramafic rock.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
