Jeroen Ritsema mainly investigates Mantle, Geophysics, Transition zone, Lithosphere and Seismology.
His Mantle study improves the overall literature in Paleontology.
His studies examine the connections between Geophysics and genetics, as well as such issues in Mantle wedge, with regards to Hotspot.
In his research on the topic of Transition zone, Mantle plume and S-wave is strongly related with Mantle convection.
His work focuses on many connections between Lithosphere and other disciplines, such as Craton, that overlap with his field of interest in Mid-ocean ridge, Low-velocity zone and Subduction.
His Seismic tomography research includes themes of Plate tectonics and Anisotropy.
His most cited work include:
- Complex Shear Wave Velocity Structure Imaged Beneath Africa and Iceland. (717 citations)
- S40RTS: A degree-40 shear-velocity model for the mantle from new Rayleigh wave dispersion, teleseismic traveltime and normal-mode splitting function measurements (668 citations)
- African hot spot volcanism: small-scale convection in the upper mantle beneath cratons. (284 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jeroen Ritsema spends much of his time researching Mantle, Geophysics, Seismology, Transition zone and Seismic tomography.
His Mantle study incorporates themes from Subduction, Lithosphere, Mantle convection, Amplitude and Tomography.
His study focuses on the intersection of Lithosphere and fields such as Craton with connections in the field of Rift and East African Rift.
His study in the fields of Core–mantle boundary under the domain of Geophysics overlaps with other disciplines such as Normal mode.
His study explores the link between Seismology and topics such as Shear that cross with problems in Preliminary reference Earth model.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Transition zone, Mantle, Tectonophysics and Petrology.
Jeroen Ritsema has included themes like Shear, Wave velocity, Point reflection and Crust in his Seismology study.
The concepts of his Transition zone study are interwoven with issues in Magnitude, Deep-focus earthquake and Shear stress.
Mantle is a subfield of Geophysics that Jeroen Ritsema investigates.
His work on Seismic anisotropy, Shear wave splitting and Core–mantle boundary as part of general Geophysics research is frequently linked to Frequency theory, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His studies in Petrology integrate themes in fields like Subduction and Basalt.
Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Constraints on the presence of post-perovskite in Earth's lowermost mantle from tomographic-geodynamic model comparisons (24 citations)
