The work primarily focuses on geological and geochemical analysis, high-pressure geophysics and materials, earthquake and tectonic studies, geochemistry and geologic mapping, geology and paleoclimatology research, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, and geological and geophysical studies.

Frequently publishing in respected venues, Costa has contributed to the following journals multiple times:

  • Bulletin of Volcanology
  • Journal of Petrology
  • Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
  • Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research
  • Frontiers in Earth Science

Frequent co-authors in Costa's research include Christina Widiwijayanti, Weiran Li, Thomas Shea, Teresa Ubide, and Damià Benet, reflecting collaborations with scholars who often contribute to overlapping scientific interests.

Among recent publications, notable papers authored or co-authored by Costa include:

  • Diffusion chronometry and the timescales of magmatic processes, 2020, Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
  • Clocks in Magmatic Rocks, 2020, Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Other relevant research papers in their sphere of interest, though authored by collaborators, help frame the context of Costa's work:

  • Synoptic analysis of a decade of daily measurements of SO 2 emission in the troposphere from volcanoes of the global ground-based Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change, 2021, Earth System Science Data
  • Multicomponent diffusion of F, Cl and OH in apatite with application to magma ascent rates, 2020, Earth and Planetary Science Letters
  • Crystals reveal magma convection and melt transport in dyke-fed eruptions, 2020, Scientific Reports

Costa's research output indicates a strong emphasis on chronological and chemical processes related to magmatic activity, placing emphasis on timescales and diffusion phenomena within geological materials.
