His Crust research includes themes of Deep sea and Transition zone.
His studies link Dike with Seismology.
His most cited work include:
- The structure of 0‐ to 0.2‐m.y.‐old oceanic crust at 9°N on the East Pacific Rise from expanded spread profiles (350 citations)
- Imaging the deep seismic structure beneath a mid-ocean ridge : The MELT experiment (265 citations)
- Structure of young oceanic crust at 13°N on the East Pacific Rise from expanding spread profiles (228 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Crust, Seafloor spreading, Magma chamber and Mid-ocean ridge.
His research integrates issues of Trough and Ridge in his study of Seismology.
The various areas that he examines in his Crust study include Lava, Hydrothermal circulation, Mantle and Oceanic crust.
Alistair J. Harding combines subjects such as Oceanic core complex, Dike, Petrology, Massif and Mid-Atlantic Ridge with his study of Seafloor spreading.
His study in Magma chamber is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Reflection, Sill, Ridge and Mohorovičić discontinuity.
Alistair J. Harding has researched Mid-ocean ridge in several fields, including Pacific ocean, Discontinuity, Seismic wave and Bathymetry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (58.45%)
- Crust (23.24%)
- Seafloor spreading (22.54%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Seismology (58.45%)
- Geophysical imaging (7.04%)
- Trough (7.75%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Geophysical imaging, Trough, Volcano and Seafloor spreading.
His Seismology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Submarine pipeline.
His studies deal with areas such as Geophysics and Ridge as well as Volcano.
His Seafloor spreading study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oceanic core complex and Massif.
His research on Oceanic crust also deals with topics like
- Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which have a strong connection to Crust,
- Lava which connect with Igneous rock, Hydrothermal vent and Mid-ocean ridge.
His work on Dike as part of general Petrology study is frequently linked to Electrical conduit, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Farallon slab detachment and deformation of the Magdalena Shelf, southern Baja California (56 citations)
- Anatomy of an active submarine volcano (44 citations)
- Middle Miocene to early Pliocene oblique extension in the southern Gulf of California (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Volcano
- Plate tectonics
- Geophysics
Alistair J. Harding focuses on Seismology, Volcano, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Geophysics and Oceanic crust.
He interconnects Ridge and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Seismology.
In his work, Lithosphere and Mantle is strongly intertwined with Massif, which is a subfield of Petrology.
His Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Induced seismicity, Structural basin, Ridge and Seamount.
His Mid-Atlantic Ridge research focuses on Seafloor spreading and how it relates to Crust.
Alistair J. Harding works mostly in the field of Oceanic crust, limiting it down to topics relating to Lava and, in certain cases, Hydrothermal vent, Igneous rock and Mid-ocean ridge.
