In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Volker Schenk mainly investigates Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Eclogite, Petrology and Metamorphic rock.
His study brings together the fields of Granulite and Geochemistry.
His study explores the link between Granulite and topics such as Kyanite that cross with problems in Geothermobarometry.
His research investigates the connection between Eclogite and topics such as Oceanic crust that intersect with issues in Greenschist.
The various areas that Volker Schenk examines in his Metamorphic rock study include Metamorphic facies and Monazite.
His work in the fields of Zircon, such as Protolith, intersects with other areas such as Proterozoic.
Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Paleoproterozoic eclogites of MORB-type chemistry and three Proterozoic orogenic cycles in the Ubendian Belt (Tanzania): Evidence from monazite and zircon geochronology, and geochemistry (99 citations)
- Crustal evolution of the Southern Granulite Terrane, south India: New geochronological and geochemical data for felsic orthogneisses and granites (88 citations)
- Neoproterozoic eclogites in the Paleoproterozoic Ubendian Belt of Tanzania: Evidence for a Pan-African suture between the Bangweulu Block and the Tanzania Craton (47 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Metamorphic rock
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Eclogite, Granulite, Zircon and Omphacite.
His work in the fields of Geochemistry, such as Metamorphism and Metamorphic rock, overlaps with other areas such as Terrane and Supercontinent.
His work on Kyanite and Andalusite as part of general Metamorphism research is frequently linked to Sillimanite and Cordierite, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Metasomatism and Oceanic crust in addition to Omphacite.
His research integrates issues of Zoisite, Fluid inclusions, Mantle wedge and Partial melting in his study of Metasomatism.
Volker Schenk has researched Oceanic crust in several fields, including Blueschist, Seafloor spreading and Isotopic signature.
