What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
- Volcano
Geochemistry, Porphyry copper deposit, Tectonics, Magma chamber and Lithosphere are his primary areas of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mineralization, Mineralogy and Subduction.
His Porphyry copper deposit research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Skarn, Breccia, Pluton and Alunite.
He focuses mostly in the field of Pluton, narrowing it down to topics relating to Argillic alteration and, in certain cases, Phyllic alteration, Propylitic alteration, Pegmatite and Rhyolite.
The Tectonics study combines topics in areas such as Outcrop, Fluid inclusions and Mesothermal.
His work deals with themes such as Mantle, Partial melting and Oceanic crust, which intersect with Lithosphere.
His most cited work include:
- Porphyry Copper Systems (1490 citations)
- Characteristics and controls of the largest porphyry copper‐gold and epithermal gold deposits in the circum‐Pacific region (356 citations)
- A Plate Tectonic Model for the Origin of Porphyry Copper Deposits (355 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Porphyry copper deposit, Breccia, Mineralization and Subduction.
The various areas that Richard H. Sillitoe examines in his Geochemistry study include Sulfide, Mineralogy and Copper.
His research in Porphyry copper deposit intersects with topics in Skarn, Argillic alteration, Pluton and Metallogeny.
As a part of the same scientific study, Richard H. Sillitoe usually deals with the Breccia, concentrating on Pyroclastic rock and frequently concerns with Maar.
His study looks at the intersection of Mineralization and topics like Orogeny with Molybdenite.
