What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Igneous rock
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Ophiolite, Geochemistry, Massif and Gondwana.
His studies deal with areas such as Nappe and Lithosphere as well as Ophiolite.
Many of his studies on Geochemistry apply to Tectonics as well.
He regularly ties together related areas like Allochthon in his Massif studies.
His Gondwana research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Terrane and Continental margin.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Suture and Ordovician in addition to Terrane.
His most cited work include:
- Diachronous Variscan tectonothermal activity in the NW Iberian Massif: Evidence from 40Ar/39Ar dating of regional fabrics (232 citations)
- Space and time in the tectonic evolution of the northwestern Iberian Massif: Implications for the Variscan belt (204 citations)
- Variscan accretionary complex of northwest Iberia: Terrane correlation and succession of tectonothermal events (182 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ricardo Arenas focuses on Geochemistry, Massif, Paleontology, Terrane and Ophiolite.
His Geochemistry research focuses on subjects like Granulite, which are linked to Gabbro.
His research integrates issues of Tectonics, Shear zone, Continental crust, Structural geology and Geomorphology in his study of Massif.
His study in Gondwana, Subduction, Paleozoic, Devonian and Nappe falls under the purview of Paleontology.
He has researched Terrane in several fields, including Suture and Late Devonian extinction, Carboniferous.
His Ophiolite research integrates issues from Rodinia, Basalt and Protolith.

His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Eclogite and Late Devonian extinction.
Ricardo Arenas combines subjects such as Suture, Mafic, Devonian and Paleozoic with his study of Ophiolite.
Ricardo Arenas has included themes like Siliciclastic and Craton in his Gondwana study.
His study in Paleontology concentrates on Terrane, Cadomian Orogeny and Continental crust.
His Zircon research includes themes of Metamorphism and Provenance.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Ediacaran Obduction of a Fore‐Arc Ophiolite in SW Iberia: A Turning Point in the Evolving Geodynamic Setting of Peri‐Gondwana (12 citations)
- The Calzadilla Ophiolite (SW Iberia) and the Ediacaran fore-arc evolution of the African margin of Gondwana (12 citations)
- Contrasting isotopic sources (Sm-Nd) of Late Ediacaran series in the Iberian Massif: Implications for the Central Iberian-Ossa Morena boundary (10 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Sedimentary rock
- Basalt
Gondwana, Paleontology, Craton, Siliciclastic and Tectonics are his primary areas of study.
The Gondwana study combines topics in areas such as Ophiolite, Mafic and Ultramafic rock.
His research in Volcanic arc, Back-arc basin and Sedimentary basin are components of Paleontology.
His research investigates the connection between Tectonics and topics such as Series that intersect with issues in Massif.
His Massif study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gneiss, Provenance and Terrane.
His work carried out in the field of Gneiss brings together such families of science as Metamorphism and Zircon.
