1963 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Oceanic crust, Petrology, Basalt and Subduction. He is involved in the study of Geochemistry that focuses on Igneous rock in particular. His research integrates issues of Lau Basin and Geophysics, Magnetic anomaly in his study of Oceanic crust.
While the research belongs to areas of Magnetic anomaly, he spends his time largely on the problem of Seabed, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Hydrothermal vent. The Petrology study combines topics in areas such as Island arc and Olivine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mantle and Crust in addition to Basalt.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Oceanic crust and Lau Basin. His Geochemistry research includes themes of Subduction and Petrology. His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alkali basalt, Basaltic andesite and Andesites.
His Mantle research includes elements of Dacite, Trace element and Island arc. His Lau Basin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ocean island basalt, Mid-ocean ridge, Back-arc basin and Magnetic anomaly. The various areas that James W. Hawkins examines in his Magnetic anomaly study include Seismic refraction, Seabed and Bathymodiolus thermophilus.
James W. Hawkins mainly investigates Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Oceanography, Lau Basin and Basalt. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Oceanic crust and Geochemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Earth science, Basement, Igneous rock and Forearc.
His studies deal with areas such as Troodos Ophiolite and Terrane as well as Ophiolite. His study looks at the relationship between Lau Basin and fields such as Ocean island basalt, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. James W. Hawkins has researched Basalt in several fields, including Structural basin and Petrology.
His primary areas of investigation include Ophiolite, Oceanography, Lau Basin, Island arc and Paleontology. His work deals with themes such as Geochemistry, Basement, Troodos Ophiolite, Oceanic crust and Terrane, which intersect with Ophiolite. James W. Hawkins combines subjects such as Geomorphology, Range and Back-arc basin with his study of Island arc.
