Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Volcano

Hilary Downes mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mantle, Magmatism, Basalt and Xenolith. Her research links Petrology with Geochemistry. The various areas that Hilary Downes examines in her Mantle study include Lithosphere and Asthenosphere.

Her Magmatism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subduction, Earth science, Mafic and Volcanic rock. Her studies in Xenolith integrate themes in fields like Metamorphic rock and Crust. Her research integrates issues of Transition zone and Ultramafic rock in her study of Peridotite.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tertiary—Quaternary Extension-Related Alkaline Magmatism in Western and Central Europe (376 citations)
  • Neogene–Quaternary magmatism and geodynamics in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a synthesis (213 citations)
  • The Petrogenesis of Pliocene Alkaline Volcanic Rocks from the Pannonian Basin, Eastern Central Europe (143 citations)

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

Hilary Downes spends much of her time researching Geochemistry, Mantle, Xenolith, Metasomatism and Peridotite. Her Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lithosphere and Petrology. Hilary Downes interconnects Magmatism, Subduction, Mafic and Craton in the investigation of issues within Mantle.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Metamorphic rock, Continental crust, Crust, Trace element and Underplating. Her studies deal with areas such as Phlogopite, Lile, Partial melting, Olivine and Igneous rock as well as Metasomatism. The Peridotite study combines topics in areas such as Equigranular, Transition zone, Spinel, Oceanic crust and Lithospheric mantle.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (87.07%)
  • Mantle (40.09%)
  • Xenolith (38.79%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (87.07%)
  • Mantle (40.09%)
  • Xenolith (38.79%)

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

Hilary Downes mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Xenolith, Metasomatism and Kimberlite. As part of her studies on Geochemistry, Hilary Downes often connects relevant subjects like Spinel. Her Mantle research includes elements of Lithosphere, Craton and Crust.

Her research in Xenolith focuses on subjects like Ultramafic rock, which are connected to Continental crust and Zircon. As a part of the same scientific family, Hilary Downes mostly works in the field of Metasomatism, focusing on Carbonatite and, on occasion, Phlogopite, Lile and Augite. Her study in Kimberlite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eclogite, Mineral redox buffer, Pyrope, Petrology and Island arc.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Layering of the lithospheric mantle beneath the Siberian Craton: Modeling using thermobarometry of mantle xenolith and xenocrysts (17 citations)
  • Hf–Zr anomalies in clinopyroxene from mantle xenoliths from France and Poland: implications for Lu–Hf dating of spinel peridotite lithospheric mantle (16 citations)
  • From catastrophic collapse to multi-phase deposition: Flow transformation, seafloor interaction and triggered eruption following a volcanic-island landslide (15 citations)

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

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Volcano

Her primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Mantle, Metasomatism, Peridotite and Xenolith. Her work in Mineral redox buffer and Zircon are all subfields of Geochemistry research. Her Mantle research incorporates elements of Lithosphere and Craton.

While the research belongs to areas of Craton, she spends her time largely on the problem of Subduction, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Geophysics and Magmatism. Her research in Peridotite intersects with topics in Massif, Trace element and Spinel. The concepts of her Xenolith study are interwoven with issues in Breccia and Olivine.
