Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Metamorphic rock
  • Igneous rock
  • Mineral

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Granulite and Zircon. His work on Partial melting as part of his general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Cordierite, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. David J. Waters combines subjects such as Eclogite, Geochronology, Allanite, Mantle and Leucogranite with his study of Metamorphism.

In his research on the topic of Leucogranite, Anatexis and Mafic is strongly related with Massif. His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mineralogy and Monazite. His Ophiolite study also includes

  • Phengite that connect with fields like Semail Ophiolite,
  • Geomorphology most often made with reference to Glaucophane.

His most cited work include:

  • The structural geometry, metamorphic and magmatic evolution of the Everest massif, High Himalaya of Nepal-South Tibet (274 citations)
  • Tectonic evolution of the Mogok metamorphic belt, Burma (Myanmar) constrained by U‐Th‐Pb dating of metamorphic and magmatic rocks (223 citations)
  • Partial melting and the formation of granulite facies assemblages in Namaqualand, South Africa (194 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Petrology and Geochronology. His work on Gneiss as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Granulite, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. The various areas that David J. Waters examines in his Metamorphism study include Leucogranite, Massif and Zircon, Monazite.

His Massif study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lithosphere and Crust. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sillimanite, Tectonics, Mineralogy and Geomorphology. His study in Geochronology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Staurolite, Batholith, Craton and Terrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (71.58%)
  • Metamorphism (49.47%)
  • Metamorphic rock (48.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Geochemistry (71.58%)
  • Metamorphism (49.47%)
  • Metamorphic rock (48.42%)

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

David J. Waters focuses on Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Tectonics and Subduction. His Geochemistry study frequently links to other fields, such as Ophiolite. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plateau and Terrane in addition to Metamorphism.

His work in Metamorphic rock is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Vein. As a member of one scientific family, David J. Waters mostly works in the field of Tectonics, focusing on Petrography and, on occasion, Mylonite, Syntaxis, Allanite and Monazite. The various areas that David J. Waters examines in his Subduction study include Petrology, Crust, Cooling rate and Continental margin.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Quantifying geological uncertainty in metamorphic phase equilibria modelling; a Monte Carlo assessment and implications for tectonic interpretations (124 citations)
  • A comparison of observed and thermodynamically predicted phase equilibria and mineral compositions in mafic granulites (37 citations)
  • Exhumation-Driven Devolatilization as a Fluid Source for Orogenic Gold Mineralization at the Damang Deposit, Ghana (26 citations)

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

  • Mineral
  • Igneous rock
  • Metamorphic rock

David J. Waters spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Mafic and Granulite. His work deals with themes such as Plateau, Semail Ophiolite and Geomorphology, which intersect with Geochemistry. The concepts of his Metamorphism study are interwoven with issues in Mylonite, Shear zone, Syntaxis and Allanite, Monazite.

David J. Waters combines subjects such as Vein and Terrane with his study of Metamorphic rock. His Mafic study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sill, Mineral, Amphibole, Igneous rock and Metasomatism. His studies in Schist integrate themes in fields like Kyanite, Mineralogy and Matrix.
