What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Archean and Eclogite.
Geochemistry is closely attributed to Craton in his study.
His Mantle research incorporates themes from Lithosphere, Igneous rock and Crust.
The concepts of his Basalt study are interwoven with issues in Massif, Mantle plume and Spinel.
In his study, Lile is inextricably linked to Sanukitoid, which falls within the broad field of Archean.
His Eclogite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Continental collision, Silicate and Wilson cycle.
His most cited work include:
- THE Re-Os ISOTOPE SYSTEM IN COSMOCHEMISTRY AND HIGH-TEMPERATURE GEOCHEMISTRY (760 citations)
- Carius tube digestion for low-blank rhenium-osmium analysis (734 citations)
- Os, Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope systematics of southern African peridotite xenoliths: Implications for the chemical evolution of subcontinental mantle (607 citations)
