Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Volcano
Mechanics
Thermodynamics

Greg A. Valentine spends much of his time researching Volcano, Petrology, Pyroclastic rock, Seismology and Basalt. Greg A. Valentine interconnects Mineralogy and Earth science in the investigation of issues within Volcano. His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Maar, Volcanic rock, Phreatomagmatic eruption and Diatreme.

His research on Seismology focuses in particular on Explosive eruption. His study focuses on the intersection of Basalt and fields such as Dike with connections in the field of Sill and Magmatism. His Magma research integrates issues from Tephra and Vortex.

His most cited work include:

Numerical models of Plinian eruption columns and pyroclastic flows (243 citations)
Stratified flow in pyroclastic surges (228 citations)
Continental basaltic volcanoes — Processes and problems (207 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Petrology, Seismology and Magma. He combines subjects such as Dike and Basalt with his study of Volcano. His work in Pyroclastic rock tackles topics such as Geomorphology which are related to areas like Geochemistry.

The Petrology study combines topics in areas such as Strombolian eruption, Explosive eruption, Volcanology and Mineralogy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Scale and Explosive material. His research in Magma intersects with topics in Geophysics and Groundwater.

He most often published in these fields:

Volcano (51.52%)
Pyroclastic rock (30.91%)
Petrology (30.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Pyroclastic rock (30.91%)
Petrology (30.30%)
Volcano (51.52%)

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

Greg A. Valentine mostly deals with Pyroclastic rock, Petrology, Volcano, Volcanology and Scale. His study on Pyroclastic rock is covered under Geochemistry. The concepts of his Petrology study are interwoven with issues in Aquifer, Basalt, Magma, Phreatomagmatic eruption and Lahar.

His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Andesite, Dike, Mafic and Stratovolcano. He studies Volcano, namely Maar. His studies deal with areas such as Radiocarbon dating, Rift, Plateau, Tephra and Diatreme as well as Maar.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Compressible Flow Phenomena at Inception of Lateral Density Currents Fed by Collapsing Gas‐Particle Mixtures (17 citations)
Towards Quantitative Volcanic Risk of Pyroclastic Density Currents: Probabilistic Hazard Curves and Maps Around Somma-Vesuvius (Italy) (12 citations)
Meter‐Scale Experiments on Magma‐Water Interaction (7 citations)

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

Mechanics
Volcano
Thermodynamics

Pyroclastic rock, Petrology, Mach number, Particle and Heat transfer are his primary areas of study. His Pyroclastic rock study deals with the bigger picture of Seismology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Scale, Basalt, Sedimentology and Magma in addition to Petrology.

His research integrates issues of Multiphase flow and Breccia in his study of Mach number. His Particle research covers fields of interest such as Flow, Mineralogy, Flux and Eruption column. His study in Heat transfer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermal conductivity and Composite material.
