In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Mantle, Archean, Basalt and Hadean.
His work deals with themes such as Flood basalt, Craton and Oceanic crust, which intersect with Geochemistry.
Richard W. Carlson focuses mostly in the field of Craton, narrowing it down to matters related to Kimberlite and, in some cases, Lithospheric mantle.
The concepts of his Mantle study are interwoven with issues in Isotopic composition and Hotspot.
His Archean research incorporates elements of Composition and Tungsten isotope.
His work on Igneous differentiation as part of general Basalt research is frequently linked to Homogeneous, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Preservation of Earth-forming events in the tungsten isotopic composition of modern flood basalts. (103 citations)
- Early Earth differentiation investigated through 142 Nd, 182 W, and highly siderophile element abundances in samples from Isua, Greenland (58 citations)
