What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
Alan P. Dickin spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mantle plume, Mantle, Igneous rock and Basalt.
Alan P. Dickin interconnects Lithosphere and Magmatism in the investigation of issues within Geochemistry.
His Mantle study deals with Volcano intersecting with Feldspar and Mineralogy.
His study in Igneous rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phlogopite and Hotspot.
His Partial melting research incorporates elements of Magma chamber and Continental crust.
In his research, Petrology is intimately related to Proterozoic, which falls under the overarching field of Continental crust.
His most cited work include:
- Radiogenic isotope geology (365 citations)
- The Late Cretaceous Impact of the Trindade Mantle Plume: Evidence from Large-volume, Mafic, Potassic Magmatism in SE Brazil (281 citations)
- Mantle Dynamics: A Nd, Sr, Pb and O Isotopic Study of the Cameroon Line Volcanic Chain (197 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Crust, Basalt, Mantle and Paleontology.
He combines topics linked to Mantle plume with his work on Geochemistry.
His work carried out in the field of Mantle plume brings together such families of science as Magmatism and Hotspot.
His Crust research includes themes of Rift, Rift zone and Magma.
He interconnects Continental crust and Island arc in the investigation of issues within Basalt.
His work carried out in the field of Mantle brings together such families of science as Volcano, Subduction and Lithosphere.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (73.47%)
- Crust (23.13%)
- Basalt (22.45%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Paleontology (17.69%)
- Tectonics (10.88%)
- Crust (23.13%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alan P. Dickin focuses on Paleontology, Tectonics, Crust, Geochemistry and Allochthon.
His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Oceanography and Ridge.
His Tectonics course of study focuses on Precambrian and Borehole, Graben, Petrology and Geochronology.
His Crust research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geomorphology, Block and Mantle.
His study of Gneiss is a part of Geochemistry.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Proterozoic, Accretion, Craton and Plutonism in addition to Archean.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Chart of the Nuclides (18 citations)
- Nd isotope mapping of allochthonous Grenvillian klippen: Evidence for widespread ‘ramp-flat’ thrust geometry in the SW Grenville Province (13 citations)
- A comparison of Nd model ages and U–Pb zircon ages of Grenville granitoids: constraints on the evolution of the Laurentian margin from 1.5 to 1.0 Ga (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Sedimentary rock
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Crust, Geochemistry, Allochthon, Archean and Terrane.
His specific area of interest is Geochemistry, where he studies Gneiss.
His studies deal with areas such as Proterozoic, Fractional crystallization, Lithology and Protolith as well as Gneiss.
His research integrates issues of Aulacogen, Mantle, Rift zone, Nepheline and Zircon in his study of Pluton.
The Tectonics study combines topics in areas such as Erosion, Geomorphology, Isotope and Undulose extinction.
In general Paleontology, his work in Craton, Accretion and Block is often linked to Arc linking many areas of study.
