What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Remanence.
His Cretaceous, Structural basin, Magnetostratigraphy, Sedimentary rock and Cenozoic investigations are all subjects of Paleontology research.
Rixiang Zhu focuses mostly in the field of Paleomagnetism, narrowing it down to topics relating to Seismology and, in certain cases, Crust.
His studies examine the connections between Geochemistry and genetics, as well as such issues in Craton, with regards to Mantle wedge.
His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Magnetite, Paleosol, Loess, Rock magnetism and Superparamagnetism.
The various areas that Rixiang Zhu examines in his Loess study include Maghemite, Magnetic susceptibility, Aeolian processes and Quaternary.

- Tectonics (7.67%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Rixiang Zhu mainly investigates Paleontology, Structural basin, Tectonics, Cretaceous and Subduction.
His study in Sedimentary rock, Orogeny, Magnetostratigraphy, Craton and Terrane is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology.
Rixiang Zhu has researched Structural basin in several fields, including China, East Asia and Earth science.
His work deals with themes such as Plateau, Aeolian processes and Anisotropy, which intersect with Tectonics.
Rixiang Zhu has included themes like Paleomagnetism, Marine transgression, Lithostratigraphy, Chronology and Zircon in his Cretaceous study.
His Subduction research includes elements of Rift, Continental drift, Lithosphere and Plate tectonics.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The subduction of the west Pacific plate and the destruction of the North China Craton (53 citations)
- Quaternary integrative stratigraphy and timescale of China (35 citations)
