Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Inner core, Outer core, Clathrate hydrate, Mineralogy and Core–mantle boundary. His study looks at the intersection of Inner core and topics like Convection with Heat transfer, Dynamo theory and Heat flux. The various areas that Bruce A. Buffett examines in his Outer core study include Mechanics and Equations for a falling body.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Equations for a falling body, Amplitude, Very-long-baseline interferometry and Geodesy is strongly linked to Preliminary reference Earth model. His Mineralogy study often links to related topics such as Nucleation. His Core–mantle boundary study falls within the topics of Mantle and Geophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • Modeling of nutation and precession: New nutation series for nonrigid Earth and insights into the Earth's interior (406 citations)
  • Core–mantle boundary heat flow (327 citations)
  • Global inventory of methane clathrate: sensitivity to changes in the deep ocean (302 citations)

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

Bruce A. Buffett focuses on Mechanics, Inner core, Geophysics, Mantle and Clathrate hydrate. In his study, Core and Magnetic dipole is strongly linked to Dynamo theory, which falls under the umbrella field of Mechanics. His study in the field of Outer core is also linked to topics like Nutation and Normal mode.

His Outer core study combines topics in areas such as Seismic anisotropy, Convection and Heat flux. His study in the fields of Core–mantle boundary under the domain of Geophysics overlaps with other disciplines such as Mantle convection. His study in the field of Structure of the Earth also crosses realms of Oscillation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (32.56%)
  • Inner core (30.23%)
  • Geophysics (29.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2018)?

  • Geophysics (29.07%)
  • Mantle (27.91%)
  • Mechanics (32.56%)

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

Bruce A. Buffett mainly focuses on Geophysics, Mantle, Mechanics, Core–mantle boundary and Dynamo. His Geophysics research incorporates elements of Kinematics and Buoyancy. He interconnects Gravitation, Stratification and Inner core in the investigation of issues within Mantle.

His Mechanics study incorporates themes from Bending, Curvature and Stress. His Core–mantle boundary study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Heat transfer, Viscosity and Geodesy. Bruce A. Buffett combines subjects such as Amplitude, Grid and Classical mechanics with his study of Dynamo.

Between 2004 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Core–mantle boundary heat flow (327 citations)
  • Ocean methane hydrates as a slow tipping point in the global carbon cycle (242 citations)
  • Kinetics and stability of CH4-CO2 mixed gas hydrates during formation and long-term storage. (83 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Geophysics
  • Mathematical analysis

Bruce A. Buffett mainly investigates Geophysics, Clathrate hydrate, Mechanics, Core–mantle boundary and Mantle. His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Upper and lower bounds and Kinematics. His Mechanics research incorporates themes from Bending, Curvature and Stress.

His study in Core–mantle boundary is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Turbulence, Dissipative system and Dynamo. Bruce A. Buffett has researched Mantle in several fields, including Viscosity, Gravitation and Inner core. In general Mantle convection study, his work on Earth's internal heat budget and Thermal history of the Earth often relates to the realm of Transition zone and Geodynamics, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
