1978 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

Jason B. Saleeby mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Batholith, Crust and Xenolith. His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Volcanic arc and Granulite. Jason B. Saleeby interconnects Seismology, Shear zone, Petrology and Continental arc in the investigation of issues within Mantle.

His study ties his expertise on Igneous rock together with the subject of Batholith. His Crust study focuses on Continental crust in particular. Jason B. Saleeby has included themes like Basin and range topography and Volcanic rock in his Xenolith study.

His most cited work include:

  • Active foundering of a continental arc root beneath the southern Sierra Nevada in California (327 citations)
  • Buoyancy sources for a large, unrooted mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, California: Evidence from xenolith thermobarometry (244 citations)
  • The role of oceanic plateau subduction in the Laramide orogeny (195 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Paleontology, Batholith, Seismology and Geomorphology. His Geochemistry research includes themes of Ophiolite and Pluton. His Batholith research integrates issues from Crust, Shear zone, Petrology, Mafic and Silicic.

His study focuses on the intersection of Crust and fields such as Oceanic crust with connections in the field of Continental margin. His studies in Geomorphology integrate themes in fields like Thermochronology and Fault. In his work, Tectonic subsidence and Magmatism is strongly intertwined with Lithosphere, which is a subfield of Mantle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (42.17%)
  • Paleontology (33.73%)
  • Batholith (31.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Geochemistry (42.17%)
  • Batholith (31.93%)
  • Geomorphology (22.89%)

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

Jason B. Saleeby spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Batholith, Geomorphology, Lithosphere and Paleontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Earth science, Subduction and Mesozoic in addition to Geochemistry. Jason B. Saleeby combines subjects such as Ophiolite, Eclogite, Pluton and Terrane with his study of Batholith.

His study in Geomorphology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Kings River, Thermochronology, Plate tectonics and Crust. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epeirogenic movement and Mantle. The concepts of his Cretaceous study are interwoven with issues in Basement and Cenozoic.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Architecture, Chemistry, and Evolution of Continental Magmatic Arcs (190 citations)
  • Late Cretaceous gravitational collapse of the southern Sierra Nevada batholith, California (72 citations)
  • Magmatic growth and batholithic root development in the northern Sierra Nevada, California (47 citations)
