Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Paleontology
  • Basalt

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Subduction, Volcano, Volcanic rock and Mantle. The various areas that Guillermo E. Alvarado examines in his Geochemistry study include Island arc, Oceanic crust and Forearc. His Subduction study is concerned with the field of Paleontology as a whole.

Guillermo E. Alvarado has included themes like Volcanism, Fault and Mineralogy in his Volcano study. His research investigates the connection between Volcanic rock and topics such as Large igneous province that intersect with problems in Oceanography and Seamount. Guillermo E. Alvarado interconnects Mafic and Hotspot in the investigation of issues within Mantle.

His most cited work include:

  • Missing history (16–71 Ma) of the Galápagos hotspot: Implications for the tectonic and biological evolution of the Americas (168 citations)
  • Age and geochemistry of basaltic complexes in western Costa Rica: Contributions to the geotectonic evolution of Central America (165 citations)
  • Arc-parallel flow in the mantle wedge beneath Costa Rica and Nicaragua (160 citations)

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

Guillermo E. Alvarado mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Volcano, Seismology, Geomorphology and Subduction. His works in Volcanic rock, Basalt, Silicic, Pyroclastic rock and Magma are all subjects of inquiry into Geochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Pumice and Igneous rock as well as Volcanic rock.

His research in Volcano intersects with topics in Landslide, Mineralogy and Earth science. His Seismology course of study focuses on Crust and Oceanic crust. His primary area of study in Subduction is in the field of Forearc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (33.02%)
  • Volcano (29.77%)
  • Seismology (26.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Volcano (29.77%)
  • Earth science (8.37%)
  • Geomorphology (15.35%)

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

Guillermo E. Alvarado focuses on Volcano, Earth science, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Humanities. His study focuses on the intersection of Volcano and fields such as Petrology with connections in the field of Basalt and Explosive material. His Earth science study combines topics in areas such as Volcanic hazards and Hydrothermal circulation.

His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dike, Natural history and Water level. His work in Geochemistry addresses issues such as Stratigraphy, which are connected to fields such as Petrography and Lapilli. Subduction is the focus of his Seismology research.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The new Central American seismic hazard zonation: Mutual consensus based on up to day seismotectonic framework (17 citations)
  • Marco geológico y tectónico de la Isla del Coco y la región marítima circunvecina, Costa Rica (12 citations)
  • Are the ashes from the latest eruptions (2010–2016) at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica) related to phreatic or phreatomagmatic events? (12 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Paleontology
  • Basalt

His primary areas of study are Volcano, Earth science, Geomorphology, Tectonics and Fumarole. His Volcano study deals with the bigger picture of Geochemistry. Specifically, his work in Geochemistry is concerned with the study of Tephra.

His Geomorphology research includes themes of Lava, Shield volcano, Dike, Seamount and Oceanic crust. His studies in Fumarole integrate themes in fields like Sediment and Magma. His work is dedicated to discovering how Hydrothermal circulation, Kinetic fractionation are connected with Subduction and other disciplines.
