Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Paleontology

James G. Moore focuses on Basalt, Geochemistry, Volcano, Lava and Rift zone. His Basalt study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Seawater and Mineralogy. His study in Volcano is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Underwater explosion and Clastic rock.

His Lava study incorporates themes from Plagioclase and Petrology. The Rift zone study combines topics in areas such as Landslide, Debris and Subaerial. His work on Submarine landslide as part of general Landslide study is frequently connected to Slump, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Prodigious submarine landslides on the Hawaiian Ridge (595 citations)
  • Concentrations and isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in ocean-floor basalts (321 citations)
  • Giant Hawaiian Landslides (320 citations)

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

His main research concerns Volcano, Geochemistry, Geomorphology, Basalt and Lava. His Volcano research includes themes of Volcanism, Subaerial and Rift zone. His Geomorphology research includes elements of Lateral eruption, Pyroclastic rock and Crust.

He has researched Basalt in several fields, including Earth science, Hydrothermal circulation, Mineralogy, Mantle and Seamount. His study brings together the fields of Petrology and Lava. His work in Paleontology addresses issues such as Oceanography, which are connected to fields such as Pleistocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volcano (39.19%)
  • Geochemistry (34.46%)
  • Geomorphology (31.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Geochemistry (34.46%)
  • Volcano (39.19%)
  • Geomorphology (31.76%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Volcano, Geomorphology, Oceanography and Basalt. The study of Geochemistry is intertwined with the study of Batholith in a number of ways. He is interested in Lapilli, which is a field of Volcano.

His Landslide study in the realm of Geomorphology interacts with subjects such as Native american. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Paleontology, Subaerial and Early Pleistocene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tephra, Hydrothermal circulation and Volcanology in addition to Basalt.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Offshore geology of Mauna Loa and adjacent areas, Hawaii (81 citations)
  • Drowned coralline algal dominated deposits off Lanai, Hawaii; carbonate accretion and vertical tectonics over the last 30 ka (47 citations)
  • Igneous phenocrystic origin of K-feldspar megacrysts in granitic rocks from the Sierra Nevada batholith (39 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Oceanography

James G. Moore mainly focuses on Landslide, Oceanography, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Volcano. His research in Landslide intersects with topics in Volcanic rock, Bathymetry, Breccia, Shield volcano and Palagonite. His research integrates issues of Subduction, Basalt, Shield and Subaerial in his study of Oceanography.

His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lava, Pillow lava, Debris and Bay. His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Batholith, Transect and Pluton. His Volcano study is focused on Seismology in general.
