Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geometry
  • Volcano
  • Plate tectonics

Fernando O. Marques spends much of his time researching Volcano, Plate tectonics, Geochemistry, Seismology and Paleontology. His Volcano study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Triple junction and Mass wasting. His study in Triple junction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Partial melting, Mantle and Mantle plume, Lithosphere.

His research in Plate tectonics intersects with topics in Passive margin, Volcanic passive margin, Geophysics, Continental collision and Continental margin. His studies deal with areas such as Nappe and Eclogite as well as Geochemistry. Fernando O. Marques interconnects Ridge and Compression in the investigation of issues within Seismology.

His most cited work include:

  • Subduction initiation at passive margins: Numerical modeling (98 citations)
  • Subduction initiation at passive margins: Numerical modeling (98 citations)
  • Topography as a major factor in the development of arcuate thrust belts: insights from sandbox experiments (82 citations)

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

Fernando O. Marques mainly focuses on Seismology, Tectonics, Volcano, Paleontology and Geometry. His study in Subduction, Lithosphere, Plate tectonics, Passive margin and Fault are all subfields of Seismology. The various areas that Fernando O. Marques examines in his Subduction study include Petrology and Continental margin.

His Passive margin research integrates issues from Trench and Continental crust. His study focuses on the intersection of Volcano and fields such as Geomorphology with connections in the field of Massif. His Geometry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fold, Analogue modelling and Simple shear.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (23.31%)
  • Tectonics (19.55%)
  • Volcano (19.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tectonics (19.55%)
  • Volcano (19.55%)
  • Paleontology (18.80%)

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

Tectonics, Volcano, Paleontology, Structural basin and Lithosphere are his primary areas of study. The Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Paleomagnetism and Triple junction. The various areas that Fernando O. Marques examines in his Triple junction study include Strombolian eruption, Shield volcano, Ridge and Plate tectonics.

His research in the fields of Sedimentary rock, Lava and Sequence overlaps with other disciplines such as Geomagnetic pole and Natural remanent magnetization. His Lithosphere study combines topics in areas such as Rift, Boundary value problem, Tectonophysics, Overpressure and Petrology. His Inversion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentary basin, Precambrian and Geophysics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Caldera or flank collapse in the Fogo volcano? What age? Consequences for risk assessment in volcanic islands (5 citations)
  • Tectonic inversion assessed by integration of geological and geophysical data: The intracontinental Rio do Peixe Basin, NE Brazil (3 citations)
  • Exhumation history of the Variscan orogen in western Iberia as inferred from new K-Ar and 40Ar/39Ar data on granites from Portugal (1 citations)

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

  • Geometry
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Volcano

His scientific interests lie mostly in Shear zone, Rift, Tectonics, Paleontology and Volcano. His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry, Breccia, Zircon, Batholith and Gneiss as well as Shear zone. His studies in Rift integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock, Triple junction, Strombolian eruption and Shield volcano.

His research in Tectonics intersects with topics in Structural basin, Precambrian and Geophysics. In general Paleontology study, his work on Caldera and Fault often relates to the realm of Cape verde, Flank and Collapse, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His study in Volcano is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Archipelago and Stratigraphy.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Earth Science can open doors to diverse career pathways, and many students consider complementary online degrees to expand their skillsets. For example, a veteran friendly online spanish degree can be valuable for those interested in global environmental work or field research in Spanish-speaking regions.

Creative thinking and communication are also crucial in Earth Science careers. Pursuing an online mfa creative writing can help professionals craft compelling grant proposals, reports, and educational materials effectively.

For those aiming to lead teams or manage projects in environmental firms or government agencies, an online human resource management masters programs provide essential leadership and organizational skills to succeed in such roles.

Additionally, many students, including retirees or career changers, look for flexible options. One can consider one year degree programs for seniors which offer accelerated pathways to new qualifications without long-term commitments.
