What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Bruce F. Houghton mainly focuses on Volcano, Magma, Pyroclastic rock, Petrology and Lava.
His Volcano research entails a greater understanding of Seismology.
His Magma study results in a more complete grasp of Geochemistry.
His Pyroclastic rock research includes themes of Basalt, Mineralogy and Clastic rock.
His research in Petrology intersects with topics in Lapilli, Volcanic rock, Stratovolcano and Andesites.
He focuses mostly in the field of Lava, narrowing it down to topics relating to Volcanic ash and, in certain cases, Volcanic hazards.
His most cited work include:
- Encyclopedia of Volcanoes (1134 citations)
- Volcanic and structural evolution of Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand: a review (577 citations)
- A vesicularity index for pyroclastic deposits (429 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Bruce F. Houghton mainly investigates Volcano, Petrology, Pyroclastic rock, Magma and Geochemistry.
Volcano is a subfield of Seismology that Bruce F. Houghton investigates.
His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Explosive eruption, Basalt, Silicic, Pumice and Vulcanian eruption.
Within one scientific family, Bruce F. Houghton focuses on topics pertaining to Earth science under Explosive eruption, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Volcanism.
His biological study deals with issues like Volcanic rock, which deal with fields such as Igneous rock.
His study in the field of Phreatomagmatic eruption and Effusive eruption is also linked to topics like Ejecta.
He most often published in these fields:
- Volcano (47.41%)
- Petrology (32.27%)
- Pyroclastic rock (29.88%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Volcano (47.41%)
- Petrology (32.27%)
- Magma (27.09%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Bruce F. Houghton mainly investigates Volcano, Petrology, Magma, Lava and Geochemistry.
Volcanism is closely connected to Earth science in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Volcano.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Petrology, Tectonics is strongly linked to Pyroclastic rock.
His work on Effusive eruption as part of general Magma research is frequently linked to Fragmentation, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Summit, Inversion and Caldera.
The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Submarine and Geomorphology.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The 2018 rift eruption and summit collapse of Kīlauea Volcano (152 citations)
- The largest deep-ocean silicic volcanic eruption of the past century (39 citations)
- Dispersal of key subplinian–Plinian tephras from Hekla volcano, Iceland: implications for eruption source parameters (33 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Volcano, Lava, Petrology, Magma and Seismology are his primary areas of study.
His Volcano study is concerned with Geochemistry in general.
His Lava research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pyroclastic rock, Atmospheric sciences and Caldera.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Basalt and Silicic.
His work carried out in the field of Magma brings together such families of science as Pele's hair and Texture.
His work deals with themes such as Earth science and Phreatomagmatic eruption, which intersect with Explosive eruption.
