What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Programming language
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
Rift, Seismology, Mantle, East African Rift and Lithosphere are his primary areas of study.
His Rift research includes themes of Magmatism and Crust.
His Magmatism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Earth science, Mantle plume, Basalt and Igneous rock.
Ian D. Bastow studies Seismology, focusing on Tectonics in particular.
His research in Mantle intersects with topics in Asthenosphere, Petrology and Rift zone.
His studies in Rift zone integrate themes in fields like Triple junction and Upwelling.
His most cited work include:
- Magma-assisted rifting in Ethiopia (262 citations)
- Upper mantle seismic structure beneath the Ethiopian hot spot: Rifting at the edge of the African low‐velocity anomaly (160 citations)
- Upper-mantle seismic structure in a region of incipient continental breakup: northern Ethiopian rift (158 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ian D. Bastow mostly deals with Seismology, Mantle, Lithosphere, Paleontology and Rift.
He interconnects Seismic tomography, Shear wave splitting and Seismic anisotropy in the investigation of issues within Seismology.
The various areas that Ian D. Bastow examines in his Mantle study include Hotspot, Petrology, Mantle wedge and Crust.
While the research belongs to areas of Lithosphere, Ian D. Bastow spends his time largely on the problem of Subduction, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Slab.
He has researched Rift in several fields, including Volcano, Magma, Seafloor spreading and Magmatism.
His research investigates the link between Magmatism and topics such as Earth science that cross with problems in Igneous rock.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (50.00%)
- Mantle (29.05%)
- Lithosphere (30.41%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Seismology (50.00%)
- Tectonophysics (15.54%)
- Paleontology (23.65%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ian D. Bastow spends much of his time researching Seismology, Tectonophysics, Paleontology, Mantle and Subduction.
His Seismology research focuses on Shear wave splitting and how it connects with Seismic anisotropy and Slab.
His work in Rift, Lithosphere, Crust, Sedimentary rock and Continental crust are all subfields of Paleontology research.
Rift is a subfield of Tectonics that he explores.
His work carried out in the field of Lithosphere brings together such families of science as Fault, Passive margin and Terrane.
His study in the fields of Seismic tomography and Metasomatism under the domain of Mantle overlaps with other disciplines such as Tanzania.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Control of Pre-rift Lithospheric Structure on the Architecture and Evolution of Continental Rifts: Insights From the Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa (23 citations)
- Seismic Imaging of the Alaska Subduction Zone: Implications for Slab Geometry and Volcanism (22 citations)
- The Role of Variable Slab Dip in Driving Mantle Flow at the Eastern Edge of the Alaskan Subduction Margin: Insights From Shear‐Wave Splitting (16 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Programming language
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
His main research concerns Subduction, Seismology, Lithosphere, Paleontology and Mantle.
His study in Subduction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Slab, Seismic anisotropy and Magmatism.
His study in the field of Seismic moment, Geophysical imaging and Volcanism is also linked to topics like Mars Exploration Program.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crust, Rift, Seafloor spreading and Terrane.
His Rift study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Tectonics.
In the field of Mantle, his study on Seismic tomography overlaps with subjects such as Terminal stage.
