Geochronology and isotope geochemistry. Calibration of Precambrian and Cambrian stratigraphical time-scale by radiometric dating of sediment/fossils, rate of geological processes in metamorphic terranes, closure temperature for metamorphic apatite, geochronology and geochemistry of igneous rocks, technique development of separation methods for elements from geological materials. Expanding the Lu-Hf geochronometer to apatite in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary environments. Current research areas include the Skaergaard intrusion, East Greenland; Lower and Upper Marble, Adirondack Province, NY; Eclogites in the Fransican province, Coastal California; Cambrian phosphatic shelly fossils (brachiopods) and glauconite, US Mid continent; Neoproterozoic phosphorites surrounding glacial 'snowball earth' deposits, West-africa and S. China.
