- Atmospheric oxygenation three billion years ago (415 citations)
- Evidence for oxygenic photosynthesis half a billion years before the Great Oxidation Event (300 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Nicolas J. Beukes mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Archean, Paleontology and Carbonate.
His Geochemistry study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Manganese.
The various areas that Nicolas J. Beukes examines in his Mineralogy study include Magnetite and Isotopic signature.
He studies Great Oxygenation Event, a branch of Archean.
His Great Oxygenation Event research includes elements of Earth science and Weathering.
His work deals with themes such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Carbonate platform, Facies and Petrography, which intersect with Carbonate.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Archean, Great Oxygenation Event, Earth science and Banded iron formation.
His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin and Iron ore.
His study in Archean is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sedimentary rock, Ordovician and Calcite.
His Great Oxygenation Event study contributes to a more complete understanding of Paleontology.
His Earth science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mining engineering and Country rock.
His research in Banded iron formation intersects with topics in Direct reduced iron, Ferrous, Water column, Groundwater and Flux.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rapid oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere 2.33 billion years ago (159 citations)
- Manganese oxide shuttling in pre-GOE oceans – evidence from molybdenum and iron isotopes (46 citations)
- Modern rather than Mesoarchaean oxidative weathering responsible for the heavy stable Cr isotopic signatures of the 2.95 Ga old Ijzermijn iron formation (South Africa) (42 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Mineral
- Paleontology
Great Oxygenation Event, Archean, Geochemistry, Environmental chemistry and Manganese are his primary areas of study.
His Great Oxygenation Event research includes themes of Snowball Earth, Earth science, Biogeochemical cycle and Diagenesis.
His Archean research is within the category of Paleontology.
Nicolas J. Beukes interconnects Atmosphere, Biodiversity and Pyrite in the investigation of issues within Paleontology.
Nicolas J. Beukes has included themes like Sedimentary depositional environment, Direct reduced iron and Illite crystallinity in his Geochemistry study.
His research investigates the connection between Manganese and topics such as Isotope fractionation that intersect with problems in Mineralogy.
