Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Plate tectonics

Yuejun Wang spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Paleontology and Basalt. His Zircon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Permian and Petrogenesis. His studies deal with areas such as Shear zone, Petrology and Crust as well as Geochronology.

His study in Petrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Precambrian and Proterozoic. Yuejun Wang has researched Basalt in several fields, including Basaltic andesite and Terrane. His Paleozoic research includes elements of Devonian and Craton.

His most cited work include:

  • Phanerozoic tectonics of the South China Block: Key observations and controversies (536 citations)
  • Locating South China in Rodinia and Gondwana: A fragment of greater India lithosphere? (345 citations)
  • The onset of Pacific margin accretion in NE China: Evidence from the Heilongjiang high-pressure metamorphic belt (293 citations)

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

Yuejun Wang focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Basalt, Mafic and Petrology. As a part of the same scientific study, Yuejun Wang usually deals with the Geochemistry, concentrating on Subduction and frequently concerns with Lithosphere. His Zircon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tectonics, Magmatism, Mantle wedge, Paleozoic and Lile.

His work deals with themes such as Permian, Basaltic andesite, Pelagic sediment and Back-arc basin, which intersect with Basalt. As part of the same scientific family, Yuejun Wang usually focuses on Mafic, concentrating on Crust and intersecting with Underplating. His biological study deals with issues like Precambrian, which deal with fields such as Proterozoic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (95.24%)
  • Zircon (71.43%)
  • Basalt (37.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (95.24%)
  • Zircon (71.43%)
  • Paleontology (25.93%)

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

Yuejun Wang mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Igneous rock and Mafic. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Subduction and Geochemistry. His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fractional crystallization, Mantle, Petrogenesis, Lithophile and Geochronology.

In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Tectonics, Thermochronology, Sinistral and dextral and Rodinia is often linked to South china, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The concepts of his Igneous rock study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock and Supercontinent, Craton. His Mafic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Basalt and Rift.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Deconstructing South China and consequences for reconstructing Nuna and Rodinia (27 citations)
  • Late Paleozoic back-arc basin in the Indochina block: Constraints from the mafic rocks in the Nan and Luang Prabang tectonic zones, Southeast Asia (10 citations)
  • Mesoproterozoic rift setting of SW Hainan: Evidence from the gneissic granites and metasedimentary rocks (9 citations)

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

  • Igneous rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Basalt

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Zircon, Mafic, Igneous rock and Paleozoic. Geochemistry is closely attributed to Subduction in his research. His research in Zircon tackles topics such as Rodinia which are related to areas like Archean and Laurentia.

The various areas that Yuejun Wang examines in his Mafic study include Basalt, Basaltic andesite and Mantle wedge. While the research belongs to areas of Igneous rock, Yuejun Wang spends his time largely on the problem of Supercontinent, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Rift and Sedimentary rock. Yuejun Wang has included themes like Assemblage, Devonian and Terrane in his Paleozoic study.
