- The crust of Cathaysia: Age, assembly and reworking of two terranes (328 citations)
- The crust of Cathaysia: Age, assembly and reworking of two terranes (328 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Geochemistry, Zircon, Mantle, Basalt and Crust are his primary areas of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Magmatism and Petrology.
Xisheng Xu combines subjects such as Subduction, Igneous rock, Partial melting, Volcanic rock and Basement with his study of Zircon.
Xisheng Xu has researched Basement in several fields, including Archean, Craton and Terrane.
His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eclogite and Asthenosphere.
His work on Fractional crystallization as part of general Basalt research is often related to Rare-earth element and Cenozoic, thus linking different fields of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (98.90%)
- Zircon (51.65%)
- Mantle (25.27%)

Xisheng Xu mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mafic, Zircon, Felsic and Mantle.
Many of his studies on Geochemistry apply to Plagioclase as well.
His Zircon study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Petrogenesis.
His Petrogenesis study incorporates themes from Lile, Craton, Continental crust, Isotopes of oxygen and Archean.
His work carried out in the field of Mantle brings together such families of science as Foreland basin, Supercontinent, Petrology and Island arc.
His Crust study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Xenolith and Magmatism.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A Fragment of Columbia Supercontinent: Insight for Cathaysia Block Basement From Tectono‐Magmatic Evolution and Mantle Heterogeneity (7 citations)
- Formation of lunar highlands anorthosites (5 citations)
- Tracking crystal-melt segregation and magma recharge using zircon trace element data (2 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
