What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Plate tectonics
Ming Zhang spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Archean, Craton, Mantle and Zircon.
His Geochemistry research focuses on Basalt and Crust.
He works mostly in the field of Basalt, limiting it down to topics relating to Olivine and, in certain cases, Metasomatism, Primitive mantle, Lile, Phlogopite and Megacryst, as a part of the same area of interest.
Ming Zhang studied Archean and Lithosphere that intersect with Plate tectonics, Mid-ocean ridge and Petrology.
He has included themes like Supercontinent and Gondwana in his Zircon study.
His Xenolith study deals with Peridotite intersecting with Kimberlite and Asthenosphere.
His most cited work include:
- Palaeozoic and Cenozoic lithoprobes and the loss of >120 km of Archaean lithosphere, Sino-Korean craton, China (739 citations)
- Widespread Archean basement beneath the Yangtze craton (417 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)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Xenolith and Craton.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Geochemistry, Block is strongly linked to Lithosphere.
The various areas that Ming Zhang examines in his Mantle study include Earth science, Transition zone, Asthenosphere, Oceanic basin and Archean.
His study looks at the relationship between Basalt and topics such as Mantle plume, which overlap with Lava field and Diapir.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pyroxene, Kimberlite and Zircon.
His Olivine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Primitive mantle, Phlogopite and Proterozoic.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (95.59%)
- Mantle (54.41%)
- Basalt (38.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2016)?
- Geochemistry (95.59%)
- Mantle (54.41%)
- Crust (20.59%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ming Zhang mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Crust, Xenolith and Peridotite.
Geochemistry is closely attributed to Craton in his work.
His Craton research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Igneous rock and Kimberlite.
His research in Mantle intersects with topics in Coesite, Ophiolite, Oceanic basin and Olivine.
His Peridotite study is concerned with Basalt in general.
The concepts of his Transition zone study are interwoven with issues in Earth science and Hotspot.
Between 2008 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- 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)
- Triassic “adakitic” rocks in an extensional setting (North China): Melts from the cratonic lower crust (128 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Plate tectonics
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Craton, Zircon, Precambrian and Basement.
His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Diachronous and Oceanic crust.
His Diachronous research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Xenolith, Lithosphere and Kimberlite.
His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Metamorphism, Gneiss, Supercontinent and Terrane.
Ming Zhang combines subjects such as Magmatism and Paleozoic with his study of Precambrian.
His Peridotite study deals with the bigger picture of Mantle.
