Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock

Shoufa Lin focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Basalt and Igneous rock. Gneiss and Protolith are among the areas of Geochemistry where he concentrates his study. Shoufa Lin interconnects Precambrian, Mafic and Crust in the investigation of issues within Zircon.

His study in Paleozoic, Permian, Craton, Island arc and Continental margin are all subfields of Paleontology. His Permian research incorporates elements of Subduction, Accretion and Ophiolite. His research in Petrology intersects with topics in Terrane and Archean.

His most cited work include:

  • Middle Cambrian to Permian subduction-related accretionary orogenesis of Northern Xinjiang, NW China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of central Asia (661 citations)
  • Paleozoic multiple subduction-accretion processes of the southern Altaids (384 citations)
  • Zircon U-Pb and Hf isotopic study of gneissic rocks from the Chinese Altai: Progressive accretionary history in the early to middle Palaeozoic (243 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Shoufa Lin mainly investigates Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Shear zone and Terrane. His research on Geochemistry frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Petrology. His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metamorphic rock, Provenance, Igneous rock and Crust.

His Shear zone study combines topics in areas such as Shear, Simple shear and Sinistral and dextral. The concepts of his Terrane study are interwoven with issues in Basement and Geomorphology. His work in Paleozoic addresses subjects such as Permian, which are connected to disciplines such as Island arc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (80.53%)
  • Zircon (52.21%)
  • Paleontology (31.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (80.53%)
  • Terrane (34.51%)
  • South china (7.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Terrane, South china, Paleozoic and Zircon. The study of Geochemistry is intertwined with the study of Lineation in a number of ways. His Terrane study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Rift, Provenance and Continental margin.

To a larger extent, Shoufa Lin studies Paleontology with the aim of understanding Paleozoic. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Zircon, Shear is strongly linked to Craton. His Metamorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Xenolith, Supracrustal rock and Archean.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Appalachian-style multi-terrane Wilson cycle model for the assembly of South China: REPLY (42 citations)
  • Appalachian-style multi-terrane Wilson cycle model for the assembly of South China: REPLY (42 citations)
  • Transformation from Neoproterozoic Sinistral to Early Paleozoic Dextral Shearing for the Jingdezhen Ductile Shear Zone in the Jiangnan Orogen, South China (10 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Terrane, Style, South china and Wilson cycle. His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Ophiolite and Shear zone. His Terrane research includes themes of Continental crust, Crust, Paleozoic, Permian and Devonian.

The Gneiss study combines topics in areas such as Metamorphism, Anatexis and Hornblende.
