Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geochemistry
  • Igneous rock
  • Metamorphism

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Zircon, Metamorphism, Continental crust and Protolith. Yong-Fei Zheng combines subjects such as Subduction, Eclogite and Petrology with his study of Geochemistry. He interconnects Oxygen isotope ratio cycle and Isotopes of oxygen in the investigation of issues within Eclogite.

His Zircon research integrates issues from Igneous rock, Rodinia, Supercontinent, Gneiss and Archean. As part of the same scientific family, Yong-Fei Zheng usually focuses on Metamorphism, concentrating on Continental collision and intersecting with Anatexis. His research investigates the connection between Continental crust and topics such as Craton that intersect with problems in Lithosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • Further characterisation of the 91500 zircon crystal (812 citations)
  • Stable isotope geochemistry of ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks from the Dabie–Sulu orogen in China: implications for geodynamics and fluid regime (675 citations)
  • Genesis of zircon and its constraints on interpretation of U-Pb age (636 citations)

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

Geochemistry, Zircon, Metamorphism, Continental crust and Metamorphic rock are his primary areas of study. His Geochemistry research incorporates elements of Subduction, Eclogite and Petrology. His research integrates issues of Felsic, Igneous rock, Continental collision, Anatexis and Gneiss in his study of Zircon.

His Metamorphism study incorporates themes from Granulite, Metamorphic facies, Isochron and Terrane. His Continental crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Adakite and Craton. His Metamorphic rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coesite, Recrystallization and Phengite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (101.47%)
  • Zircon (55.53%)
  • Metamorphism (32.92%)

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

  • Geochemistry (101.47%)
  • Zircon (55.53%)
  • Partial melting (22.36%)

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

Yong-Fei Zheng focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Partial melting, Subduction and Continental crust. Yong-Fei Zheng has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Magmatism and Mantle wedge. The various areas that Yong-Fei Zheng examines in his Zircon study include Felsic, Crust, Rodinia, Craton and Anatexis.

His study in Partial melting is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eclogite, Isotope geochemistry, Pluton, Geochronology and Lithology. His studies deal with areas such as Inclusion, Petrology and Titanite as well as Eclogite. His work in Continental crust tackles topics such as Protolith which are related to areas like Incompatible element and Island arc.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Subduction zone geochemistry (78 citations)
  • Mesozoic mafic magmatism in North China: Implications for thinning and destruction of cratonic lithosphere (72 citations)
  • Ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks in the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt: compositional inheritance and metamorphic modification (39 citations)

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

  • Igneous rock
  • Geochemistry
  • Basalt

Yong-Fei Zheng mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Zircon, Mantle wedge and Subduction. His studies examine the connections between Geochemistry and genetics, as well as such issues in Oceanic crust, with regards to Basalt. His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metamorphic rock and Metamorphism.

His research in Zircon intersects with topics in Rodinia, Anatexis, Felsic and Pluton. His Mantle wedge research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crustal recycling, Continental crust, Metasomatism and Continental arc. His research in Subduction focuses on subjects like Slab, which are connected to Petrology, Cretaceous and Seismic tomography.
