Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Geophysics
  • Surgery

Alan G. Jones spends much of his time researching Magnetotellurics, Lithosphere, Crust, Geophysics and Mantle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seismology, Tectonics, Petrology, Algorithm and Data set. His Lithosphere research focuses on subjects like Terrane, which are linked to Xenolith, Proterozoic, Slip, Hypocenter and Foreland basin.

His Crust research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sinistral and dextral and Plateau. His Geophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Surface wave, Depth sounding, Shield and Electrical resistivity and conductivity. His Mantle research incorporates themes from Craton and Asthenosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • Partially Molten Middle Crust Beneath Southern Tibet: Synthesis of Project INDEPTH Results (939 citations)
  • The magnetotelluric method : theory and practice (342 citations)
  • Multisite, multifrequency tensor decomposition of magnetotelluric data (338 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Magnetotellurics, Geophysics, Lithosphere, Seismology and Crust. His work in Magnetotellurics covers topics such as Paleontology which are related to areas like Geomorphology. His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Surface wave, Anisotropy and Asthenosphere, Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary.

His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Craton, Mantle and Terrane. His Craton research includes elements of Geochemistry, Archean and Kimberlite. His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subduction, Suture, Plateau and Inversion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Magnetotellurics (54.97%)
  • Geophysics (33.72%)
  • Lithosphere (28.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Magnetotellurics (54.97%)
  • Geophysics (33.72%)
  • Structural basin (7.16%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Magnetotellurics, Geophysics, Structural basin, Paleontology and Lithosphere. He has researched Magnetotellurics in several fields, including Seismology, Geothermal gradient, Plateau and Storm. In the subject of general Geophysics, his work in Mantle is often linked to Earth's magnetic field, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geochemistry and Aquifer. His Lithosphere study which covers Rayleigh wave that intersects with Stochastic inversion, Dispersion and Elevation. Thrust fault is closely connected to Crust in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Tectonics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 3‐D multiobservable probabilistic inversion for the compositional and thermal structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle: III. Thermochemical tomography in the Western‐Central U.S. (42 citations)
  • Geomagnetically induced currents in the Irish power network during geomagnetic storms (29 citations)
  • Extensional extrusion: Insights into south-eastward expansion of Tibetan Plateau from magnetotelluric array data (29 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Geophysics
  • Surgery

Alan G. Jones mainly investigates Geophysics, Magnetotellurics, Lithosphere, Tectonics and Mantle. His Geophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Storm and Middle latitudes. His Magnetotellurics research is within the category of Electrical resistivity and conductivity.

As part of his studies on Tectonics, Alan G. Jones often connects relevant subjects like Crust. The concepts of his Crust study are interwoven with issues in Extensional definition, Syntaxis, Plateau and Deformation. His Mantle research includes elements of Rayleigh wave, Convection and Proterozoic.
