Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Subduction

Sun-Lin Chung mostly deals with Geochemistry, Subduction, Zircon, Basalt and Mafic. Sun-Lin Chung has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Batholith, Petrology and Adakite. His research in Subduction intersects with topics in Lithosphere, Magmatism and Terrane.

His work deals with themes such as Felsic, Cretaceous, Pluton, Geochronology and Petrogenesis, which intersect with Zircon. His Basalt research includes themes of Mantle plume, Rodinia, Large igneous province and Mantle. His Mafic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dike, Suture and Lile.

His most cited work include:

  • Tibetan tectonic evolution inferred from spatial and temporal variations in post-collisional magmatism (891 citations)
  • The Amount of Recycled Crust in Sources of Mantle-Derived Melts (858 citations)
  • Adakites from continental collision zones: Melting of thickened lower crust beneath southern Tibet (727 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Basalt and Subduction. His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Magmatism and Petrology. The concepts of his Zircon study are interwoven with issues in Continental crust, Crust, Batholith, Mafic and Terrane.

The Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Seismology and Plateau. His Basalt study incorporates themes from Volcano, Flood basalt, Asthenosphere, Large igneous province and Andesites. His Mantle research incorporates themes from Lithosphere and Olivine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (102.87%)
  • Zircon (61.62%)
  • Paleontology (25.07%)

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

  • Geochemistry (102.87%)
  • Zircon (61.62%)
  • Paleontology (25.07%)

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

Sun-Lin Chung spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Magmatism and Tectonics. His research brings together the fields of Subduction and Geochemistry. His Zircon research includes elements of Crust, Batholith, Pluton, Magma and Terrane.

His work in Paleontology covers topics such as Plateau which are related to areas like Lithosphere and Asthenosphere. His research integrates issues of Diachronous, Felsic, Earth science and Collision zone in his study of Magmatism. His studies examine the connections between Tectonics and genetics, as well as such issues in Mesozoic, with regards to Cretaceous.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gangdese magmatism in southern Tibet and India–Asia convergence since 120 Ma (31 citations)
  • Gangdese magmatism in southern Tibet and India–Asia convergence since 120 Ma (31 citations)
  • A 6000-km-long Neo-Tethyan arc system with coherent magmatic flare-ups and lulls in South Asia (24 citations)

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

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Plate tectonics

Sun-Lin Chung mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Magmatism, Zircon, Paleontology and Subduction. His specific area of interest is Geochemistry, where Sun-Lin Chung studies Andesite. His Magmatism research includes themes of Supercontinent, Earth science, Monazite and Terrane.

His Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Batholith, Pluton, Arc system, Ophiolite and Petrogenesis. His studies deal with areas such as Igneous differentiation and Partial melting as well as Petrogenesis. His work carried out in the field of Subduction brings together such families of science as Continental crust and Volcanic rock.
