Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Sedimentary rock

George D. Spence spends much of his time researching Clathrate hydrate, Subduction, Seismology, Continental margin and Reflection. In Subduction, he works on issues like Continental shelf, which are connected to Tectonics, Accretionary wedge and Geomorphology. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Buttress and Bathymetry.

His research in Continental margin intersects with topics in Seismic refraction, Rift and Igneous rock. As part of one scientific family, George D. Spence deals mainly with the area of Mineralogy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Seabed, and often Submarine pipeline. His Seafloor spreading research includes elements of Waves and shallow water, Seismic wave and Petrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Magmatism at rifted continental margins (350 citations)
  • A seismic study of methane hydrate marine bottom simulating reflectors (331 citations)
  • Velocity structure of a gas hydrate reflector. (211 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Clathrate hydrate, Seafloor spreading, Subduction and Submarine pipeline. George D. Spence combines subjects such as Seismic tomography and Crust with his study of Seismology. His Seafloor spreading study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Ridge and Bathymetry.

His work in Subduction addresses subjects such as Continental shelf, which are connected to disciplines such as Juan de Fuca Plate. In his work, Pore water pressure is strongly intertwined with Geomorphology, which is a subfield of Submarine pipeline. The various areas that George D. Spence examines in his Mineralogy study include Seismometer, Sediment and Continental margin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (50.79%)
  • Clathrate hydrate (32.54%)
  • Seafloor spreading (19.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Seismology (50.79%)
  • Submarine pipeline (15.87%)
  • Geomorphology (15.87%)

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

His main research concerns Seismology, Submarine pipeline, Geomorphology, Margin and Clathrate hydrate. Many of his research projects under Seismology are closely connected to Queen with Queen, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fault, Thrust fault and Ridge.

The Submarine pipeline study combines topics in areas such as Water column, Current meter and Submarine. His Geomorphology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Continental shelf, Juan de Fuca Plate and Outflow. George D. Spence interconnects Trough, Rift, Continental crust, Magmatism and Seismic tomography in the investigation of issues within Seafloor spreading.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Tidally controlled gas bubble emissions: A comprehensive study using long-term monitoring data from the NEPTUNE cabled observatory offshore Vancouver Island (31 citations)
  • Crustal structure and extension mode in the northwestern margin of the South China Sea (28 citations)
  • Distributed natural gas venting offshore along the Cascadia margin (24 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Submarine pipeline, Seismology, Water column, Geomorphology and Outflow. His Submarine pipeline research is classified as research in Oceanography. His Subduction study in the realm of Seismology interacts with subjects such as Shear strength.

The concepts of his Water column study are interwoven with issues in Current meter and Underwater. His studies in Geomorphology integrate themes in fields like Submarine, Pore water pressure, Bathymetry and Holocene. Outflow combines with fields such as Flare, Range, Margin and Natural gas in his work.
