Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

Her main research concerns Seismology, Oceanography, Seismic gap, Structural basin and Continental margin. Her work on North Anatolian Fault is typically connected to Transpression as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her research on Oceanography often connects related topics like Glacial period.

Her work in Seismic gap covers topics such as Seiche which are related to areas like Tectonics. Her Structural basin course of study focuses on Holocene and Sill. Continental margin is a subfield of Paleontology that she explores.

Her most cited work include:

  • Biologic and geologic characteristics of cold seeps in Monterey Bay, California (148 citations)
  • Submarine earthquake geology along the North Anatolia Fault in the Marmara Sea, Turkey: A model for transform basin sedimentation (97 citations)
  • Submarine earthquake geology along the North Anatolia Fault in the Marmara Sea, Turkey: A model for transform basin sedimentation (97 citations)

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

Cecilia M. G. McHugh mainly investigates Oceanography, Seismology, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock and Sedimentary depositional environment. Within one scientific family, Cecilia M. G. McHugh focuses on topics pertaining to Glacial period under Oceanography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Sill. Her study in the field of Fault, Subduction, Paleoseismology and North Anatolian Fault is also linked to topics like Trench.

Cecilia M. G. McHugh works mostly in the field of Fault, limiting it down to concerns involving Tectonics and, occasionally, Seismic gap. In her work, Progradation is strongly intertwined with Continental shelf, which is a subfield of Paleontology. Her studies deal with areas such as Submarine and Geomorphology as well as Sedimentary rock.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (39.29%)
  • Seismology (41.67%)
  • Paleontology (29.17%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Oceanography (39.29%)
  • Seismology (41.67%)
  • Trench (17.86%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Oceanography, Seismology, Trench, Sedimentary rock and Pleistocene. Her work on Paleoceanography, Monsoon, Holocene and Leeuwin current as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to Biogeosciences, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Seismology and Sedimentary depositional environment are frequently intertwined in her study.

Her Sedimentary rock study introduces a deeper knowledge of Paleontology. Her Pleistocene research includes themes of Glacial period, Structural basin and Paleoclimatology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aftershock, Submarine and Bathymetry in addition to Sediment.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Australian shelf sediments reveal shifts in Miocene Southern Hemisphere westerlies (41 citations)
  • Indonesian throughflow drove Australian climate from humid pliocene to arid pleistocene (39 citations)
  • Megathrust earthquake drives drastic organic carbon supply to the hadal trench. (27 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

Cecilia M. G. McHugh mostly deals with Seismology, Pleistocene, Oceanography, Paleontology and Sedimentary rock. Her Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary depositional environment and Elevation. The Sedimentary depositional environment study combines topics in areas such as Paleoseismology, Coring and Turbidite.

Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Glacial period and Pleistocene. Her work carried out in the field of Oceanography brings together such families of science as Late Miocene and Interglacial. Her study on Paleoceanography, Siliciclastic, Fluvial and Piacenzian is often connected to Passive margin as part of broader study in Paleontology.
