1963 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Volcano
  • Igneous rock

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.

His most cited work include:

  • East Pacific Rise: Hot Springs and Geophysical Experiments (611 citations)
  • Early Arc Volcanism and the Ophiolite Problem: A Perspective from Drilling in the Western Pacific (261 citations)
  • Evolution of intra-oceanic arc-trench systems (172 citations)

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

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.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (69.77%)
  • Basalt (44.19%)
  • Mantle (32.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

  • Geochemistry (69.77%)
  • Ophiolite (13.95%)
  • Oceanography (9.30%)

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

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.

Between 2009 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Early Arc Volcanism and the Ophiolite Problem: A Perspective from Drilling in the Western Pacific (261 citations)
  • Evolution of the Lau Basin—Insights from ODP Leg 135 (110 citations)
  • Geology of the Zambales Range, Luzon, Philippine Islands: Ophiolite Derived from an Island Arc‐Back Arc Basin Pair (97 citations)

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

  • Volcano
  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock

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.
