What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Igneous rock
- Sedimentary rock
- Basalt
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Archean, Zircon, Terrane and Metamorphism.
His studies deal with areas such as Craton and Proterozoic as well as Geochemistry.
His Craton study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Massif and Gneiss.
His Proterozoic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Precambrian, Geologic time scale and Petrology.
His research in Zircon intersects with topics in Gondwana and Geochronology.
W. R. Van Schmus combines subjects such as Troilite and Taenite with his study of Chondrule.
His most cited work include:
- A chemical-petrologic classification for the chondritic meteorites. (982 citations)
- New U–Pb and Sm–Nd data from north-central Cameroon and its bearing on the pre-Pan African history of central Africa (266 citations)
- A survey of the unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (243 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
W. R. Van Schmus spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Proterozoic and Geochronology.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Craton and Terrane.
The various areas that he examines in his Zircon study include Basement, Batholith, Petrology, Pluton and Precambrian.
W. R. Van Schmus usually deals with Proterozoic and limits it to topics linked to Crust and Mantle.
His work deals with themes such as Granulite, Charnockite and Protolith, which intersect with Gneiss.
His Gondwana study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Orogeny and Rodinia.
