What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Craton, Archean, Paleontology and Zircon.
Wouter Bleeker interconnects Suture, Laurentia and Large igneous province in the investigation of issues within Craton.
His work carried out in the field of Archean brings together such families of science as Dharwar Craton, Sedimentary rock, Crust, Proterozoic and Pilbara Craton.
His research investigates the link between Paleontology and topics such as Earth science that cross with problems in Geological survey.
His research integrates issues of Metamorphic rock, Metamorphism and Plutonism, Pluton in his study of Zircon.
His Precambrian study combines topics in areas such as Geologic time scale and Igneous rock.
He most often published in these fields:

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Wouter Bleeker mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Craton, Archean, Zircon and Mafic.
Wouter Bleeker works in the field of Geochemistry, focusing on Continental crust in particular.
Craton is a primary field of his research addressed under Paleontology.
In the field of Paleontology, his study on Sinistral and dextral, Paleomagnetism, True polar wander and Laurentia overlaps with subjects such as Rock magnetism.
The various areas that Wouter Bleeker examines in his Archean study include Pyrite, Ultramafic rock and Geochronology.
His work on Acasta Gneiss and Baddeleyite is typically connected to Context as part of general Zircon study, connecting several disciplines of science.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Emplacement ages of Paleoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms in eastern Dharwar craton, India: Implications for paleoreconstructions and support for a ∼30° change in dyke trends from south to north (30 citations)
- Evidence for evolved Hadean crust from Sr isotopes in apatite within Eoarchean zircon from the Acasta Gneiss Complex (10 citations)
- U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of the Povungnituk Group of the Cape Smith Belt: Part of a Craton-Scale Circa 2.0 Ga Minto-Povungnituk Large Igneous Province, Northern Superior Craton (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Mafic, Continental crust, Crust and Archean.
His research on Geochemistry often connects related areas such as Flood basalt.
The Mafic study combines topics in areas such as Craton and Dharwar Craton.
His work deals with themes such as Ophiolite, Magmatism, Large igneous province, Mantle and Mantle plume, which intersect with Craton.
His Continental crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gneiss and Hadean, Zircon.
His research on Archean concerns the broader Paleontology.
