Georgy’s research is mainly focused on the relationship between igneous and metamorphic/metasomatic processes in various metamorphic provinces of Southern Africa. For this purpose, he uses a wide range of analytical techniques: major and trace geochemistry, mineral chemistry as well as absolute radiometric dating (U-Pb and Ar-Ar age dating methods). His new developing projects are granite/alkaline magmatism and associated metasomatism in Southern India. For many years Georgy was responsible for operating the noble gas mass spectrometer at Spectrum Labs (UJ).

Georgy Belyanin co-authored 59 peer-reviewed publications in international journals to his name. He has successfully (co)supervised nine Honours projects, eleven MSc and one PhD student. Georgy has been a lecturer at the Department of Geology since September 2019.
