What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Volcano
- Igneous rock
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Mantle plume and Flood basalt.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ocean island basalt, Magmatism and Oceanic basin.
In his research on the topic of Basalt, Volcanism, Pluton, Andesite and Continental margin is strongly related with Back-arc basin.
His research in Mantle tackles topics such as Iceland plume which are related to areas like Mid-ocean ridge and Hotspot.
The various areas that Andrew D. Saunders examines in his Mantle plume study include Rift zone and Volcanic rock.
His work focuses on many connections between Flood basalt and other disciplines, such as Igneous rock, that overlap with his field of interest in Mantle convection, Geomorphology and Continental crust.
His most cited work include:
- Magmatism in the Ocean Basins (2432 citations)
- Timing of Hot Spot—Related Volcanism and the Breakup of Madagascar and India (495 citations)
- Thermal and chemical structure of the Iceland plume (470 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Mantle plume and Igneous rock.
His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Island arc and Table.
Andrew D. Saunders has included themes like Flood basalt, Oceanic plateau, Earth science and Hotspot in his Basalt study.
His research integrates issues of Iceland plume, Rift, Magmatism and Petrology in his study of Mantle.
His Mantle plume research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Picrite basalt, Large igneous province and Rift zone.
His Igneous rock research focuses on Crust and how it connects with Sill.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (63.46%)
- Basalt (51.92%)
- Mantle (25.96%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?
- Geochemistry (63.46%)
- Mantle (25.96%)
- Basalt (51.92%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Andrew D. Saunders spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Igneous rock and Siberian Traps.
His Geochemistry research incorporates elements of Sanidine and Mesozoic.
His work investigates the relationship between Mantle and topics such as Seamount that intersect with problems in Isotope geochemistry, Partial melting and Magma.
His studies deal with areas such as Flood basalt, Mantle plume and Hotspot as well as Basalt.
His study in Igneous rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mantle convection and Crust.
The Siberian Traps study combines topics in areas such as Permian, Earth science and Large igneous province.
Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The north Atlantic igneous province (397 citations)
- The timing and extent of the eruption of the Siberian Traps large igneous province: Implications for the end-Permian environmental crisis (360 citations)
- Regional uplift associated with continental large igneous provinces: The roles of mantle plumes and the lithosphere (158 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Volcano
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Basalt, Igneous rock, Large igneous province and Mantle.
His Geochemistry study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Petrology.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Flood basalt and Basalt.
His Flood basalt research includes themes of Iceland plume, Geomorphology and Hotspot.
The concepts of his Large igneous province study are interwoven with issues in Gabbro, Siberian Traps, Craton and Ultramafic rock.
Andrew D. Saunders has researched Mantle in several fields, including Olivine, Spinel, Phenocryst and Forsterite.
