What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Volcano
Brian Cousens mainly investigates Geochemistry, Basalt, Volcanic rock, Mantle and Igneous rock.
His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Subduction, Craton and Mantle plume.
Brian Cousens focuses mostly in the field of Subduction, narrowing it down to topics relating to Crust and, in certain cases, Sedimentary rock and Pelagic sediment.
His Basalt study deals with Earth science intersecting with Bimodal volcanism, Batholith, Asthenosphere and Basin and Range Province.
Brian Cousens combines subjects such as Volcanic arc and Petrology with his study of Volcanic rock.
In his study, Amphibole, Olivine and Seamount is strongly linked to Oceanic crust, which falls under the umbrella field of Mantle.
His most cited work include:
- Multi-element and rare earth element composition of lichens, mosses, and vascular plants from the Central Barrenlands, Nunavut, Canada (136 citations)
- Proterozoic (1.85–1.75 Ga) igneous suites of the Western Churchill Province: granitoid and ultrapotassic magmatism in a reworked Archean hinterland (98 citations)
- Subduction-modified pelagic sediments as the enriched component in back-arc basalts from the Japan Sea: Ocean Drilling Program Sites 797 and 794 (92 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Mafic and Volcanic rock.
His Geochemistry research includes elements of Subduction and Craton.
Brian Cousens has researched Basalt in several fields, including Lava and Mantle plume.
His Mantle research includes themes of Pacific ocean, Lithosphere, Seamount and Crust.
His Mafic research incorporates themes from Suture, Ophiolite and Baddeleyite.
His study looks at the relationship between Volcanic rock and fields such as Pyroclastic rock, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (81.08%)
- Basalt (31.08%)
- Mantle (22.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Geochemistry (81.08%)
- Mafic (21.62%)
- Craton (14.19%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Mafic, Craton, Large igneous province and Zircon.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Petrology and Magmatism.
His study in Mafic is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Baddeleyite and Proterozoic.
His Craton study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Massif, Dike swarm, Mantle and Archean.
His study on Large igneous province also encompasses disciplines like
- Flood basalt which intersects with area such as Ophiolite and Mantle plume,
- Mineral chemistry, MINTO and Trace element most often made with reference to Magma.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Lava, Volcano, Volcanism and Ultramafic rock.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- U-Pb geochronology of the plumbing system associated with the Late Cretaceous Strand Fiord Formation, Axel Heiberg Island, Canada: part of the 130-90 Ma High Arctic large igneous province (26 citations)
- Precipitation and growth of barite within hydrothermal vent deposits from the Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge (21 citations)
- Geochemistry and U-Pb geochronology of 1590 and 1550 Ma mafic dyke swarms of western Laurentia: Mantle plume magmatism shared with Australia (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Volcano
Geochemistry, Craton, Mantle, Mafic and Large igneous province are his primary areas of study.
His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Batholith and Proterozoic.
He has included themes like Geochronology, Massif, Laurentia and Archean in his Craton study.
His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trace element and Earth science.
He works mostly in the field of Mafic, limiting it down to topics relating to Baddeleyite and, in certain cases, Magmatic underplating and Felsic, as a part of the same area of interest.
Brian Cousens studied Large igneous province and Flood basalt that intersect with Mantle plume, Magmatism and Ophiolite.
