What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Volcano
- Igneous rock
Alain Gourgaud focuses on Geochemistry, Basalt, Volcanic rock, Fractional crystallization and Igneous rock.
His Mantle, Basaltic andesite, Pyroclastic rock and Trace element investigations are all subjects of Geochemistry research.
His research investigates the connection between Pyroclastic rock and topics such as Lava that intersect with issues in Petrogenesis and Petrology.
His Volcanic rock study focuses on Andesite in particular.
His work in Fractional crystallization covers topics such as Igneous differentiation which are related to areas like Volcanism, Sanidine, Plutonism and Basanite.
His study focuses on the intersection of Igneous rock and fields such as Rhyolite with connections in the field of Massif and Lapilli.
His most cited work include:
- Neogene ignimbrites of the Nevsehir plateau (central Turkey); stratigraphy, distribution and source constraints (134 citations)
- Geochemical constraints on the Cenozoic, OIB-type alkaline volcanic rocks of NW Turkey: Implications for mantle sources and melting processes (130 citations)
- Merapi (Central Java, Indonesia): An outline of the structural and magmatological evolution, with a special emphasis to the major pyroclastic events (120 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Volcanic rock, Pyroclastic rock, Volcano and Basalt.
His work in Lava, Stratovolcano, Fractional crystallization, Andesite and Igneous differentiation are all subfields of Geochemistry research.
His Volcanic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Petrology, Igneous rock and Partial melting.
His Pyroclastic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phreatic eruption, Volcanic ash and Geomorphology.
His studies examine the connections between Volcano and genetics, as well as such issues in Volcanism, with regards to Peralkaline rock.
