Awards & Achievements

1998 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

1996 - Rumford Medal, Royal Society (UK) In recognition of his work on the 40Ar/39Ar method of dating developing this technique to a sophisticated level and one which is widely used for dating extraterrestrial and terrestrial rocks

1980 - Fellow of the Royal Society, United Kingdom

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Geochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Argon, Mineralogy, Radiogenic nuclide and Basalt. His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Quartz, Biotite and Meteoric water. Particularly relevant to Isotopes of argon is his body of work in Argon.

Grenville Turner interconnects Neutron flux, Potassium and Irradiation in the investigation of issues within Mineralogy. The Radiogenic nuclide study combines topics in areas such as Hydrothermal circulation, Pegmatite, Astrobiology, Gneiss and Archean. His work carried out in the field of Astrobiology brings together such families of science as Activation technique and Breccia.

His most cited work include:

  • Potassium‐argon dating by activation with fast neutrons (314 citations)
  • 40Ar-39Ar ages and cosmic ray exposure ages of Apollo 14 samples† (271 citations)
  • RARE GASES IN THE CHONDRITE RENAZZO (250 citations)

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

Grenville Turner mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Astrobiology, Meteorite and Argon. Grenville Turner works mostly in the field of Geochemistry, limiting it down to concerns involving Quartz and, occasionally, Meteoric water. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fluid inclusions, Isotopes of argon, Isotope, Stable isotope ratio and Mantle in addition to Mineralogy.

His work on Mars Exploration Program and Solar System as part of general Astrobiology study is frequently linked to Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Meteorite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Martian, Xenon, Carbonate and Analytical chemistry. His Argon research focuses on subjects like Radiogenic nuclide, which are linked to Neutron activation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (33.53%)
  • Mineralogy (31.18%)
  • Astrobiology (24.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2020)?

  • Geochemistry (33.53%)
  • Xenon (16.47%)
  • Mineralogy (31.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Xenon, Mineralogy, Meteorite and Astrobiology. His research integrates issues of Plutonium and Earth science in his study of Geochemistry. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neutron, Carbonate, Fluid inclusions, Mantle and Atmosphere of Mars.

His studies deal with areas such as Stable isotope ratio, Mineral redox buffer and Argon as well as Fluid inclusions. His studies in Meteorite integrate themes in fields like Feldspar and Astrophysics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hadean and Space Science.

Between 2001 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Degassing and contamination of noble gases in Mid‐Atlantic Ridge basalts (113 citations)
  • Argon isotopic composition of Archaean atmosphere probes early Earth geodynamics (69 citations)
  • Hydrothermal Fluid Origins in a Fluorite-Rich Mississippi Valley-Type District: Combined Noble Gas (He, Ar, Kr) and Halogen (Cl, Br, I) Analysis of Fluid Inclusions from the South Pennine Ore Field, United Kingdom (64 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Isotope

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Mantle, Basalt and Meteorite. His Continental crust study in the realm of Geochemistry connects with subjects such as Geodynamics. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Hydrothermal circulation, Fluid inclusions, Isotope and Analytical chemistry.

Grenville Turner has researched Mantle in several fields, including Neon, Argon, Crust, Noble gas and Early Earth. His Argon research includes themes of Diamond and Kimberlite. He combines subjects such as Pyroxene, Olivine, Helium, Phenocryst and Lunar meteorite with his study of Basalt.
