Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Geochemistry

Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Astrobiology and Crust are his primary areas of study. Olivine, Partial melting and Fractional crystallization are the primary areas of interest in his Geochemistry study. His Mantle study which covers Meteorite that intersects with Igneous rock.

His studies deal with areas such as Origin of the Moon and Oceanic crust as well as Basalt. His Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Volatiles and Core formation. James M.D. Day has researched Crust in several fields, including Lunar magma ocean, Mantle convection and Hotspot.

His most cited work include:

  • Zinc isotopic evidence for the origin of the Moon (163 citations)
  • Stochastic Late Accretion to Earth, the Moon, and Mars (163 citations)
  • Highly Siderophile Element Constraints on Accretion and Differentiation of the Earth-Moon System (147 citations)

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

James M.D. Day focuses on Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Meteorite and Olivine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lithosphere and Oceanic crust in addition to Geochemistry. His studies in Basalt integrate themes in fields like Subduction and Mineralogy, Volatiles.

His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trace element and Igneous rock. His Meteorite study improves the overall literature in Astrobiology. His work deals with themes such as Lunar magma ocean, Quartz and Isotopes of oxygen, which intersect with Olivine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (72.10%)
  • Basalt (44.64%)
  • Mantle (42.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (72.10%)
  • Meteorite (32.19%)
  • Mantle (42.49%)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Meteorite, Mantle, Basalt and Astrobiology. His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Metal and Asteroid. James M.D. Day interconnects Martian, Trace element, Pyroxene and Mafic in the investigation of issues within Meteorite.

His research in Mantle intersects with topics in Isotopic composition, Isotopes of helium and Zirconium. His Basalt research integrates issues from Carbonate, Olivine, Isotopes of calcium and Volatiles. His Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in COSMIC cancer database and Chronology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiple early-formed water reservoirs in the interior of Mars (15 citations)
  • Potassium isotopic composition of the Moon (13 citations)
  • Mare basalt meteorites, magnesian-suite rocks and KREEP reveal loss of zinc during and after lunar formation (12 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Volcano

James M.D. Day mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Meteorite, Basalt, Volatiles and Mantle. His study on Geochemistry is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Chondrite. His Meteorite research incorporates elements of Crust, Martian, Mars Exploration Program, Lunar magma ocean and Mafic.

KREEP is the focus of his Basalt research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Parent body, Olivine, Incompatible element, Enstatite and Isotope fractionation. His research integrates issues of Subduction, Carbonate and Calcium, Isotopes of calcium in his study of Mantle.
