His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Late Miocene, Shear zone, Lithosphere and Geomorphology.
His most cited work include:
- Geological records of the Lhasa-Qiangtang and Indo-Asian collisions in the Nima area of central Tibet (555 citations)
- Cretaceous-Tertiary shortening, basin development, and volcanism in central Tibet (521 citations)
- Paleocene–Eocene record of ophiolite obduction and initial India‐Asia collision, south central Tibet (455 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Terrane, Suture and Cretaceous.
His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Cenozoic, Subduction, Tectonics, Rift and Structural basin.
His research integrates issues of Petrology, Shear zone, Magmatism and Geomorphology in his study of Geochemistry.
His study looks at the intersection of Terrane and topics like Zircon with Geochronology.
His Suture research focuses on Forearc and how it relates to Ophiolite.
