Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Oceanography

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mid-ocean ridge, Geochemistry, Volcano, Basalt and Seafloor spreading. His work carried out in the field of Mid-ocean ridge brings together such families of science as Microearthquake, Hydrothermal circulation and Mineralogy. His study of Caldera is a part of Volcano.

His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lava, Andesites, Magma and Phenocryst. His Seafloor spreading research focuses on Seismology and how it connects with Ridge. His Hydrothermal vent research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oceanography and Vulcanian eruption.

His most cited work include:

  • Volcanic eruption of the mid-ocean ridge along the East Pacific Rise crest at 9°45-52'N: Direct submersible observations of seafloor phenomena associated with an eruption event in April, 1991 (404 citations)
  • Hydrothermal vent distribution along the East Pacific Rise crest (9°09′–54′N) and its relationship to magmatic and tectonic processes on fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges (363 citations)
  • Temporal and spatial patterns of biological community development at nascent deep-sea hydrothermal vents (9°50 N, East Pacific Rise) (328 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Volcano, Lava, Seismology, Seafloor spreading and Mid-ocean ridge. His Volcano study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tectonics, Submarine and Seamount. His Lava study is focused on Geochemistry in general.

Within one scientific family, Daniel J. Fornari focuses on topics pertaining to Hydrothermal circulation under Geochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Vulcanian eruption. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rift valley and Ridge in addition to Seismology. His study in Seafloor spreading is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bathymetry, Hydrothermal vent and Graben.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volcano (40.88%)
  • Lava (31.45%)
  • Seismology (27.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Volcano (40.88%)
  • Oceanography (18.87%)
  • Seismology (27.67%)

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

His main research concerns Volcano, Oceanography, Seismology, Paleontology and Mid-ocean ridge. His research in Volcano intersects with topics in Basalt and Tectonics. His studies deal with areas such as Ridge, Seamount and Seafloor mapping as well as Seismology.

Methane is closely connected to Ridge in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Paleontology. His Mid-ocean ridge study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lava, Seafloor spreading and Hydrothermal circulation, Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Many of his research projects under Hydrothermal circulation are closely connected to Heat flux with Heat flux, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tectonic and Volcanic Controls on Hydrothermal Processes at the Mid‐Ocean Ridge: an Overview Based on Near‐Bottom and Submersible Studies (104 citations)
  • Submarine Lava Flow Emplacement at the East Pacific Rise 9°50´N: Implications for Uppermost Ocean Crust Stratigraphy and Hydrothermal Fluid Circulation (76 citations)
  • Volcanic Eruptions in the Deep Sea (65 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Oceanography

Daniel J. Fornari mainly investigates Volcano, Oceanography, Mid-ocean ridge, Tectonics and Hydrothermal circulation. Daniel J. Fornari does research in Volcano, focusing on Lava specifically. His Lava research includes themes of Marine geology, Seafloor spreading, Geophysics and Hydrothermal vent.

When carried out as part of a general Oceanography research project, his work on Ice sheet is frequently linked to work in Distribution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Mid-ocean ridge is a subfield of Paleontology that he investigates. Tectonics is a subfield of Seismology that Daniel J. Fornari studies.
