What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan D. Brandon focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Meteorite, Basalt and Chondrite.
His is involved in several facets of Geochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Crust, Peridotite, Olivine, Metasomatism and Fractional crystallization.
He has researched Peridotite in several fields, including Xenolith and Lithosphere, Mantle wedge.
His Mantle research includes themes of Mantle plume, Subduction and Archean.
His research in Meteorite intersects with topics in Martian, Mars Exploration Program, Planetary differentiation and Isotope.
His Basalt study combines topics in areas such as Trace element, Mineral redox buffer, Isochron and Continental crust.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (68.10%)
- Mantle (51.53%)
- Meteorite (30.67%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Geochemistry (68.10%)
- Mantle (51.53%)
- Meteorite (30.67%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mantle, Meteorite, Metasomatism and Paleontology.
Alan D. Brandon regularly links together related areas like Subduction in his Geochemistry studies.
His research integrates issues of Impact structure, Mantle plume, Plate tectonics and Crust in his study of Mantle.
His Meteorite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Breccia and Silicate.
His Metasomatism study which covers Lithosphere that intersects with Craton and Peridotite.
The Cretaceous and Geochronology research Alan D. Brandon does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Rhenium, Canyon and Permian, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Highly Siderophile Elements in Earth, Mars, the Moon, and Asteroids. (85 citations)
- Lithophile and siderophile element systematics of Earth’s mantle at the Archean–Proterozoic boundary: Evidence from 2.4 Ga komatiites (50 citations)
- 182W evidence for core-mantle interaction in the source of mantle plumes (33 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Volcano
Alan D. Brandon mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Meteorite and Fractional crystallization.
Many of his studies on Geochemistry apply to Subduction as well.
His Subduction research incorporates themes from Mantle plume, Plate tectonics, Rift and Peridotite.
His work deals with themes such as Slab, Pilbara Craton and Inner core, which intersect with Mantle.
Specifically, his work in Meteorite is concerned with the study of Chondrite.
His study in Chondrite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Martian, Breccia, Regolith and Weathering.
