Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Plate tectonics
Oceanography
Subduction

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Petrology, Continental margin, Clathrate hydrate and Seabed. His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Submarine pipeline and Normal velocity. His Petrology research includes themes of Instability, Seismic velocity, Oceanic crust, Vertical seismic profile and Borehole.

His Continental margin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Passive margin and Igneous rock. Graham K. Westbrook performs integrative Clathrate hydrate and Mud volcano research in his work. His Seabed study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Oceanography.

His most cited work include:

Escape of methane gas from the seabed along the West Spitsbergen continental margin (366 citations)
Magmatism at rifted continental margins (350 citations)
Origin of bottom-simulating reflectors: Geophysical evidence from the Cascadia accretionary prism (187 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Petrology, Clathrate hydrate, Continental margin and Seabed. His research in the fields of Accretionary wedge, Seismometer and Tectonics overlaps with other disciplines such as Reflection. Graham K. Westbrook works mostly in the field of Petrology, limiting it down to concerns involving Oceanic crust and, occasionally, Diapir.

The Gas hydrate stability zone research Graham K. Westbrook does as part of his general Clathrate hydrate study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Seafloor spreading, Pockmark, Bottom water and Saturation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Continental margin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Igneous rock, Crust and Oceanography, Last Glacial Maximum, Holocene. His research in Seabed intersects with topics in Authigenic, Sediment, Geomorphology and Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

Seismology (60.71%)
Petrology (45.54%)
Clathrate hydrate (46.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

Seismology (60.71%)
Clathrate hydrate (46.43%)
Geomorphology (33.04%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Clathrate hydrate, Geomorphology, Petrology and Oceanography. His North Anatolian Fault, Accretionary wedge and Geophysical imaging study, which is part of a larger body of work in Seismology, is frequently linked to Reflection, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work on Gas hydrate stability zone as part of general Clathrate hydrate study is frequently connected to Bottom water, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Geomorphology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geochemistry and Seabed. He integrates many fields in his works, including Petrology and Saturation. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atmospheric sciences and Continental margin.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

The Gibraltar subduction: A decade of new geophysical data (87 citations)
Methane release from warming‐induced hydrate dissociation in the West Svalbard continental margin: Timing, rates, and geological controls (55 citations)
Methane release from warming‐induced hydrate dissociation in the West Svalbard continental margin: Timing, rates, and geological controls (55 citations)
