Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Volcano
  • Igneous rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Mantle, Mid-ocean ridge, Basalt and Petrology. His Geochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Subduction, Mantle wedge, Mineralogy and Adakite. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Flux melting and Crust.

His studies examine the connections between Mid-ocean ridge and genetics, as well as such issues in Hotspot, with regards to Mantle convection. His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Volcano and Trace element. Charles H. Langmuir has researched Petrology in several fields, including Seafloor spreading and Ridge, Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

His most cited work include:

  • The chemical composition of subducting sediment and its consequences for the crust and mantle (2268 citations)
  • Global correlations of ocean ridge basalt chemistry with axial depth and crustal thickness (1335 citations)
  • Petrological systematics of mid-ocean ridge basalts: Constraints on melt generation beneath ocean ridges (836 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Mid-ocean ridge and Petrology. His Geochemistry research integrates issues from Subduction and Oceanic crust. His Mantle study incorporates themes from Mantle wedge and Crust.

His Basalt study which covers Volcano that intersects with Volcanism. His Mid-ocean ridge research focuses on Oceanography and how it connects with Hydrothermal circulation. The various areas that Charles H. Langmuir examines in his Petrology study include Flux melting and Back-arc basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (53.39%)
  • Mantle (35.46%)
  • Basalt (32.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (53.39%)
  • Mid-ocean ridge (23.51%)
  • Mantle (35.46%)

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

Charles H. Langmuir spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mid-ocean ridge, Mantle, Basalt and Paleontology. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subduction, Ridge and Large igneous province. His Mid-ocean ridge study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period, Cryosphere, Seafloor spreading, Magmatism and Paleoceanography.

His Mantle research includes elements of Ridge, Mantle convection and Olivine. The concepts of his Basalt study are interwoven with issues in Mineral redox buffer, Gondwana, Andesites and Igneous rock. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plume and Hotspot.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Geophysical and Geochemical Evidence for Deep Temperature Variations Beneath Mid-Ocean Ridges (105 citations)
  • Trace element mineral/melt partitioning for basaltic and basaltic andesitic melts: An experimental and laser ICP-MS study with application to the oxidation state of mantle source regions (89 citations)
  • Glacial cycles drive variations in the production of oceanic crust (76 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Volcano
  • Igneous rock

His primary scientific interests are in Mantle, Geochemistry, Basalt, Subduction and Mid-ocean ridge. He combines subjects such as Volcanism and Mantle convection with his study of Mantle. Many of his studies on Geochemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Thermohaline circulation.

His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ridge and Olivine. In his study, Transition zone, Slab window, Volcanic belt and Oceanic crust is inextricably linked to Slab, which falls within the broad field of Subduction. His study in Mid-ocean ridge is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glacial period and Sea level.
