What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
J. Brendan Murphy mostly deals with Paleontology, Terrane, Gondwana, Paleozoic and Laurentia.
As a part of the same scientific study, J. Brendan Murphy usually deals with the Paleontology, concentrating on Earth science and frequently concerns with Plate tectonics and Lithosphere.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Provenance, Craton, Basement, Geomorphology and Devonian.
His Basement study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clastic rock, Zircon and Volcanic rock.
His study explores the link between Gondwana and topics such as Ordovician that cross with problems in Paleo-Tethys Ocean, Accretion and Pacific Plate.
The Laurentia study combines topics in areas such as Pangaea and Baltica.
His most cited work include:
- Evolution of the Rheic Ocean (412 citations)
- The supercontinent cycle: A retrospective essay (360 citations)
- Contrasting basement isotopic signatures and the palinspastic restoration of peripheral orogens: Example from the Neoproterozoic Avalonian-Cadomian belt (283 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paleontology, Geochemistry, Terrane, Gondwana and Paleozoic are his primary areas of study.
Laurentia, Ordovician, Supercontinent, Subduction and Orogeny are the primary areas of interest in his Paleontology study.
He studied Supercontinent and Earth science that intersect with Plate tectonics.
J. Brendan Murphy works mostly in the field of Geochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Petrology and, in certain cases, Forearc.
The concepts of his Terrane study are interwoven with issues in Igneous rock, Clastic rock, Volcanic rock, Basement and Devonian.
His Gondwana research includes elements of Suture, Rodinia, Passive margin and Ophiolite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (52.48%)
- Geochemistry (40.59%)
- Terrane (39.60%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Geochemistry (40.59%)
- Paleontology (52.48%)
- Zircon (22.28%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
J. Brendan Murphy spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Paleontology, Zircon, Batholith and Mafic.
His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cornubian batholith and Terrane.
His work in Paleozoic, Gondwana, Supercontinent, Ordovician and Geodynamics is related to Paleontology.
He interconnects Pangaea and Rodinia in the investigation of issues within Supercontinent.
In his study, Monazite, Basement and Petrology is inextricably linked to Pluton, which falls within the broad field of Batholith.
His Mafic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Igneous rock and Crust.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Linking collisional and accretionary orogens during Rodinia assembly and breakup: Implications for models of supercontinent cycles (167 citations)
- Reconciling competing models for the tectono-stratigraphic zonation of the Variscan orogen in Western Europe (34 citations)
- Unfolding the arc: The use of pre-orogenic constraints to assess the evolution of the Variscan belt in Western Europe (20 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleozoic and Felsic.
Specifically, his work in Paleontology is concerned with the study of Permian.
J. Brendan Murphy has included themes like Cornubian batholith and Batholith in his Geochemistry study.
His studies deal with areas such as Suture and Gondwana as well as Paleozoic.
His Gondwana study incorporates themes from Sinistral and dextral, Baltica, Rodinia, Plate tectonics and Supercontinent.
In his work, Laurentia is strongly intertwined with Terrane, which is a subfield of Felsic.
