What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Geophysics
- Seismology
Her primary areas of study are Seismology, Hotspot, Mantle, Volcano and Geophysics.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Mining engineering, Geothermal gradient and Crust in addition to Seismology.
Her Hotspot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paleontology, Plate tectonics, Transition zone, Magmatism and Mantle plume.
Mineralogy and Volcanism is closely connected to Subduction in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Plate tectonics.
The various areas that she examines in her Mantle study include Rift and Lithosphere.
Her Volcano research focuses on Shear and how it connects with Landslide and Seismic wave.
Her most cited work include:
- Tomographic inversion of local earthquake data from the Hengill‐Grensdalur Central Volcano Complex, Iceland (285 citations)
- NON-DOUBLE-COUPLE EARTHQUAKES. 1. THEORY (274 citations)
- Present-Day Deformation Across the Basin and Range Province, Western United States (223 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Gillian R. Foulger mostly deals with Seismology, Geothermal gradient, Volcano, Plate tectonics and Hotspot.
Her study explores the link between Seismology and topics such as Shear that cross with problems in Focal mechanism.
She interconnects Seismometer, Hypocenter, Microearthquake and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Geothermal gradient.
Her work on Caldera and Magma as part of her general Volcano study is frequently connected to Isotropy, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
In her research, Magmatism is intimately related to Rift, which falls under the overarching field of Plate tectonics.
Her research on Hotspot also deals with topics like
- Lithosphere and Plume most often made with reference to Mantle,
- Transition zone which connect with Mantle wedge.
She most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (53.30%)
- Geothermal gradient (30.96%)
- Volcano (21.32%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Paleontology (14.21%)
- Rift (7.11%)
- Seismology (53.30%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Gillian R. Foulger mainly investigates Paleontology, Rift, Seismology, Magmatism and Ridge.
Her work carried out in the field of Rift brings together such families of science as Mantle plume and Continental crust, Crust.
Her research in Crust intersects with topics in Shear, Fracture zone and Mantle.
Gillian R. Foulger combines subjects such as Seismic tomography, Magnitude and Flood myth with her study of Seismology.
Her work in Magmatism tackles topics such as Lithosphere which are related to areas like Seafloor spreading.
Her Plate tectonics study combines topics in areas such as Subduction and Realm.
Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- Global review of human-induced earthquakes (136 citations)
- HiQuake: The Human‐Induced Earthquake Database (30 citations)
- A review of Pangaea dispersal and Large Igneous Provinces – in search of a causative mechanism. (23 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Geophysics
- Paleontology
Gillian R. Foulger focuses on Paleontology, Rift, Continental crust, Magmatism and Tectonics.
Igneous rock, Passive margin, Crust, Plate tectonics and Structural basin are among the areas of Paleontology where the researcher is concentrating her efforts.
Her Crust research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Shear, Fracture zone and Mantle.
Her study on Rift is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Mantle plume.
In her study, Seafloor spreading is inextricably linked to Lithosphere, which falls within the broad field of Magmatism.
Her work on Diachronous as part of general Tectonics study is frequently connected to Database, Earthquake casualty estimation and Resource, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
