Geoffrey Thompson mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mid-ocean ridge, Basalt, Hydrothermal circulation and Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Geoffrey Thompson works on Geochemistry which deals in particular with Pillow lava.
His Mid-ocean ridge study incorporates themes from Seawater, Transform fault, Sulfide and Crust.
His study focuses on the intersection of Basalt and fields such as Petrology with connections in the field of Augite.
He focuses mostly in the field of Hydrothermal circulation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mineralogy and, in certain cases, Trace element, Greenschist, Metal and Basement.
His work carried out in the field of Mid-Atlantic Ridge brings together such families of science as Rift valley, Period and Oceanography.
His most cited work include:
- Atlantic ocean floor: Geochemistry and petrology of basalts from legs 2 and 3 of the Deep‐Sea Drilling Project (480 citations)
- Trace element mobility during hydrothermal alteration of oceanic basalts (364 citations)
- An evaluation of the behavior of the rare earth elements during the weathering of sea-floor basalt (239 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Basalt, Mineralogy, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Hydrothermal circulation.
His study involves Mantle, Volcano, Mid-ocean ridge, Igneous rock and Incompatible element, a branch of Geochemistry.
Within one scientific family, Geoffrey Thompson focuses on topics pertaining to Petrology under Mid-ocean ridge, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Transform fault.
Geoffrey Thompson interconnects Trace element, Table, Plagioclase and Olivine in the investigation of issues within Basalt.
In Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Geoffrey Thompson works on issues like Ridge, which are connected to Latitude.
As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Hydrothermal circulation, concentrating on Crust and frequently concerns with Seafloor spreading.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (63.95%)
- Basalt (46.51%)
- Mineralogy (27.91%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2013)?
