Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Paleontology

Agust Gudmundsson mainly focuses on Seismology, Petrology, Magma chamber, Volcano and Lava. His work on Dike expands to the thematically related Seismology. Agust Gudmundsson works mostly in the field of Petrology, limiting it down to topics relating to Stress field and, in certain cases, Classification of discontinuities.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Magma chamber, Sill are connected with Ridge and Oceanic crust and other disciplines. He combines subjects such as Country rock and Tectonics with his study of Lava. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fracture and Stress concentration in addition to Magma.

His most cited work include:

  • How local stresses control magma-chamber ruptures, dyke injections, and eruptions in composite volcanoes (299 citations)
  • Rock Fractures in Geological Processes (264 citations)
  • Infrastructure and mechanics of volcanic systems in Iceland (247 citations)

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

Agust Gudmundsson spends much of his time researching Seismology, Volcano, Petrology, Magma chamber and Lava. His work deals with themes such as Dike and Stress field, which intersect with Seismology. His Volcano research includes elements of Basalt and Tectonics.

His Sill study in the realm of Petrology connects with subjects such as Overpressure. His work investigates the relationship between Magma chamber and topics such as Lateral eruption that intersect with problems in Peléan eruption. His Lava study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Holocene, Pyroclastic rock, Geomorphology and Tension.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (36.53%)
  • Volcano (32.84%)
  • Petrology (25.09%)

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

  • Volcano (32.84%)
  • Petrology (25.09%)
  • Dike (12.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Volcano, Petrology, Dike, Magma chamber and Caldera. His research in Volcano is mostly focused on Lava. His Lava study combines topics in areas such as Impact crater and Holocene.

His studies in Dike integrate themes in fields like Modulus, Geotechnical engineering, Surface and Stiffness. His Magma chamber study contributes to a more complete understanding of Magma. His Caldera study also includes

  • Stratovolcano and related Vulcanian eruption and Fault,
  • Scoria that intertwine with fields like Breccia, Rhyolite, Late Miocene and Volcanic cone.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A solar-based sustainable urban design: The effects of city-scale street-canyon geometry on solar access in Geneva, Switzerland (23 citations)
  • Fracture Properties of Nash Point Shale as a Function of Orientation to Bedding (20 citations)
  • A city-scale roof shape classification using machine learning for solar energy applications (17 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Geometry
  • Basalt

Agust Gudmundsson mostly deals with Volcano, Petrology, Lava, Graben and Geochemistry. His Volcano study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tectonics and Structural geology. His research integrates issues of Landslide, Fracture, Layer interface and Plate tectonics in his study of Petrology.

The various areas that he examines in his Lava study include Impact crater and Magma chamber. Magma chamber is a subfield of Magma that Agust Gudmundsson investigates. His Graben research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shear and Shear stress.
