What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Geochemistry
Simon A. Wilde focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Craton, Petrology and Metamorphism.
His Granulite research extends to Geochemistry, which is thematically connected.
His Zircon research incorporates themes from Felsic, Igneous rock and Geochronology.
His research in Craton intersects with topics in Khondalite, Basement and Archean.
His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Petrogenesis, Hornblende, Partial melting and Underplating.
In Metamorphism, he works on issues like Permian, which are connected to Facies.
His most cited work include:
- Late Archean to Paleoproterozoic evolution of the North China Craton: key issues revisited (1576 citations)
- Archean blocks and their boundaries in the North China Craton: lithological, geochemical, structural and P–T path constraints and tectonic evolution (1308 citations)
- Evidence from detrital zircons for the existence of continental crust and oceans on the Earth 4.4 Gyr ago. (1106 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Zircon, Craton, Archean and Petrology.
His study in Metamorphism, Mafic, Gneiss, Metamorphic rock and Felsic falls under the purview of Geochemistry.
His Zircon study incorporates themes from Terrane, Crust, Granulite, Geochronology and Petrogenesis.
The Craton study combines topics in areas such as Basement, Precambrian and Volcanic rock.
His work deals with themes such as Proterozoic and Yilgarn Craton, which intersect with Archean.
His Petrology research includes themes of Batholith, Tectonics, Pluton and Hornblende.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (85.14%)
- Zircon (64.62%)
- Craton (40.09%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Zircon, Craton, Metamorphism and Archean.
His research related to Mafic, Gneiss, Partial melting, Felsic and Continental crust might be considered part of Geochemistry.
His Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Metamorphic rock, Granulite, Terrane and Crust.
Simon A. Wilde combines subjects such as Trace element and Geochronology with his study of Craton.
Particularly relevant to Protolith is his body of work in Metamorphism.
As part of his studies on Archean, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Basement.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Nature and assembly of microcontinental blocks within the Paleo-Asian Ocean (129 citations)
- Destruction of the North China Craton in the Mesozoic (125 citations)
- Early-Middle Triassic high Sr/Y granitoids in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Implications for ocean closure in accretionary orogens (61 citations)
