Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Composite material
  • Magma

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Volcano, Magma, Deformation and Rift. His studies in Seismology integrate themes in fields like Geodesy, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Crust. His Volcano study focuses on Lava in particular.

His Magma research includes elements of Fissure and Caldera. His work in Caldera tackles topics such as Lateral eruption which are related to areas like Submarine eruption, Stratovolcano and Vulcanian eruption. His Rift research incorporates themes from Mid-ocean ridge and Ridge.

His most cited work include:

  • Intrusion triggering of the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull explosive eruption (294 citations)
  • Segmented lateral dyke growth in a rifting event at Bárðarbunga volcanic system, Iceland (279 citations)
  • Ice–volcano interaction of the 1996 Gjálp subglacial eruption, Vatnajökull, Iceland (258 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Volcano, Seismology, Magma, Deformation and Geodesy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dike and Crust. The Seismology study which covers Interferometric synthetic aperture radar that intersects with Slip.

Freysteinn Sigmundsson interconnects Viscoelasticity and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Magma. His Caldera research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subsidence and Effusive eruption. In general Rift, his work in Rift zone is often linked to Event linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volcano (49.36%)
  • Seismology (45.54%)
  • Magma (23.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Volcano (49.36%)
  • Seismology (45.54%)
  • Caldera (17.83%)

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

Freysteinn Sigmundsson mainly focuses on Volcano, Seismology, Caldera, Petrology and Deformation. His research integrates issues of Induced seismicity, Crust, Geodetic datum and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar in his study of Volcano. Freysteinn Sigmundsson works in the field of Seismology, namely Rift.

His studies deal with areas such as Sill and Effusive eruption as well as Caldera. Freysteinn Sigmundsson focuses mostly in the field of Petrology, narrowing it down to matters related to Magma and, in some cases, Inflow. His Deformation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dike, Geothermal gradient and Viscoelasticity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gradual caldera collapse at Bárdarbunga volcano, Iceland, regulated by lateral magma outflow (139 citations)
  • Lava field evolution and emplacement dynamics of the 2014–2015 basaltic fissure eruption at Holuhraun, Iceland (68 citations)
  • Volcano Geodesy: Recent developments and future challenges (32 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Composite material
  • Magma

Freysteinn Sigmundsson mostly deals with Volcano, Seismology, Caldera, Geothermal gradient and Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. His Volcano research incorporates themes from Rift and Crust. His Rift research includes elements of Submarine eruption and Petrology.

His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Post-glacial rebound and Geodesy. As part of the same scientific family, Freysteinn Sigmundsson usually focuses on Caldera, concentrating on Effusive eruption and intersecting with Geohazard, Pressure difference, Viscoelasticity, Vulcanian eruption and Buoyancy. His research in Interferometric synthetic aperture radar intersects with topics in Aftershock and Subsidence.
