Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Subduction
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Igneous rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Subduction, Petrology, Crust and Oceanic crust. Bradley R. Hacker combines topics linked to Craton with his work on Geochemistry. His Subduction study also includes fields such as

  • Mantle which is related to area like Mineralogy,
  • Plate tectonics that intertwine with fields like Mid-ocean ridge.

His Petrology research includes themes of Ophiolite and Mylonite. His Crust research incorporates themes from Eclogitization and Igneous rock. His Oceanic crust research includes elements of Slab, Eclogite and Lithosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • U/Pb zircon ages constrain the architecture of the ultrahigh-pressure Qinling–Dabie Orogen, China (811 citations)
  • Subduction factory 2. Are intermediate‐depth earthquakes in subducting slabs linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions? (713 citations)
  • Subduction factory 1. Theoretical mineralogy, densities, seismic wave speeds, and H 2 O contents (681 citations)

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

Bradley R. Hacker spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Subduction, Metamorphism, Petrology and Gneiss. His work is dedicated to discovering how Geochemistry, Eclogite are connected with Metamorphic facies and other disciplines. He works mostly in the field of Subduction, limiting it down to topics relating to Mantle and, in certain cases, Mantle wedge.

In his study, Earth science is strongly linked to Terrane, which falls under the umbrella field of Metamorphism. His work deals with themes such as Mylonite, Shear zone and Lithosphere, which intersect with Petrology. Bradley R. Hacker has included themes like Doming, Geomorphology, Quartz, Diapir and Monazite in his Gneiss study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (52.40%)
  • Subduction (29.52%)
  • Metamorphism (23.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (52.40%)
  • Metamorphism (23.62%)
  • Metamorphic rock (17.34%)

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

Bradley R. Hacker mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Zircon and Crust. His study brings together the fields of Subduction and Geochemistry. His studies in Metamorphism integrate themes in fields like Batholith, Granulite, Eclogite and Geochronology.

In general Metamorphic rock study, his work on Kyanite often relates to the realm of Wadi, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The various areas that Bradley R. Hacker examines in his Zircon study include Trace element, Igneous rock and Craton. Bradley R. Hacker has researched Crust in several fields, including Xenolith, Shear zone, Lithosphere and Oceanic crust.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Continental Lower Crust (148 citations)
  • The cold and relatively dry nature of mantle forearcs in subduction zones (72 citations)
  • Synchronous formation of the metamorphic sole and igneous crust of the Semail ophiolite: New constraints on the tectonic evolution during ophiolite formation from high-precision U–Pb zircon geochronology (68 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Crust, Gneiss and Metamorphic rock. Many of his studies on Geochemistry apply to Eclogite as well. The Metamorphism study combines topics in areas such as Batholith, Orogeny and Geochronology.

Bradley R. Hacker interconnects Shear zone and Oceanic crust in the investigation of issues within Crust. His study in Oceanic crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Continental crust and Underplating. Bradley R. Hacker works mostly in the field of Gneiss, limiting it down to topics relating to Trace element and, in certain cases, Ultra-high-pressure metamorphism, as a part of the same area of interest.
