What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
- Volcano
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Rift, Geomorphology, Seismology, Structural basin and Graben.
His study in Rift is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Isostasy, Lithosphere and Petrology.
Geomorphology is often connected to Denudation in his work.
His research on Seismology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Paleontology.
In general Paleontology, his work in Continental margin, Seafloor spreading, Volcanic passive margin and Transform fault is often linked to Bouguer anomaly linking many areas of study.
His Structural basin course of study focuses on Digital elevation model and Hypsometry.
His most cited work include:
- Temperatures, Heat, and Energy in the Mantle of the Earth (198 citations)
- Effect of drainage area on hypsometry from an analysis of small-scale drainage basins in the Siwalik Hills (Central Nepal) (131 citations)
- Investigation of the relationships between basin morphology, tectonic uplift, and denudation from the study of an active fold belt in the Siwalik Hills, central Nepal (106 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Francis Lucazeau focuses on Geomorphology, Heat flow, Paleontology, Rift and Continental margin.
He works in the field of Geomorphology, namely Structural basin.
His research integrates issues of Sedimentation and Tectonics in his study of Structural basin.
His Rift study is concerned with the larger field of Seismology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermal conductivity, Continental shelf, Passive margin, Seafloor spreading and Mantle in addition to Continental margin.
Francis Lucazeau combines subjects such as Massif and Thermochronology with his study of Basement.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (23.33%)
- Heat flow (22.22%)
- Paleontology (24.44%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Heat flow (22.22%)
- Paleontology (24.44%)
- Oceanography (10.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Heat flow, Paleontology, Oceanography, Continental margin and Rift.
His Continental margin study results in a more complete grasp of Tectonics.
His Rift research includes elements of Seismic tomography, Mantle, Lithosphere and Petrology.
His studies deal with areas such as Tectonic subsidence, Geothermal gradient, Lithology and Vitrinite as well as Mantle.
His study looks at the relationship between Structural basin and topics such as Subsidence, which overlap with Geomorphology.
His Transform fault study incorporates themes from Subduction, Seafloor spreading, Volcanic passive margin and Graben.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- From rifting to oceanic spreading in the Gulf of Aden: a synthesis (89 citations)
- Analysis and Mapping of an Updated Terrestrial Heat Flow Data Set (29 citations)
- New heat flow measurements in Oman and the thermal state of the Arabian Shield and Platform (25 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
- Volcano
Francis Lucazeau spends much of his time researching Seafloor spreading, Heat flow, Geochemistry, Sediment and Subduction.
His Heat flow research integrates issues from Geothermal energy and Remote sensing.
His Subduction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transform fault, Graben and Continental margin.
Francis Lucazeau is doing genetic studies as part of his Seismology, Tectonics and Rift and Volcanic passive margin investigations.
His work carried out in the field of Rift brings together such families of science as Plume, Lithosphere, Petrology and Seismic tomography, Mantle.
Geothermal gradient is a subfield of Geophysics that he tackles.
