Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • The Internet

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Magma chamber, Oceanic crust, Mantle and Crust. His biological study deals with issues like Transition zone, which deal with fields such as Mantle wedge. His research in Magma chamber intersects with topics in Reflection, Seafloor spreading, Seabed and Petrology.

His work deals with themes such as Dike, Ridge and Classification of discontinuities, which intersect with Seafloor spreading. In his study, Hotspot, Plume, Mantle convection, Panache and Tectonics is inextricably linked to Upwelling, which falls within the broad field of Mantle. The various areas that he examines in his Crust study include Low-velocity zone and Seismic refraction.

His most cited work include:

  • Multi-channel seismic imaging of a crustal magma chamber along the East Pacific Rise (651 citations)
  • East Pacific Rise: Hot Springs and Geophysical Experiments (611 citations)
  • The structure of 0‐ to 0.2‐m.y.‐old oceanic crust at 9°N on the East Pacific Rise from expanded spread profiles (350 citations)

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

John A. Orcutt mainly focuses on Seismology, Seafloor spreading, Geophysics, Seismometer and Oceanic crust. His Seismology study incorporates themes from Mantle and Crust. His study focuses on the intersection of Seafloor spreading and fields such as Ambient noise level with connections in the field of Microseism.

John A. Orcutt has researched Geophysics in several fields, including Rayleigh wave and Lithosphere. John A. Orcutt applies his multidisciplinary studies on Oceanic crust and Seabed in his research. His Magma chamber research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reflection, Mid-ocean ridge and Sill, Petrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (50.39%)
  • Seafloor spreading (19.38%)
  • Geophysics (16.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Seismology (50.39%)
  • Plume (5.43%)
  • Ocean Observatories Initiative (5.43%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Plume, Ocean Observatories Initiative, Cyberinfrastructure and Oceanography. John A. Orcutt interconnects Surface wave and Geophysics, Mantle in the investigation of issues within Seismology. His research in Geophysics is mostly concerned with Seismic refraction.

As a part of the same scientific family, John A. Orcutt mostly works in the field of Mantle, focusing on Pacific ocean and, on occasion, Seismic tomography. His Plume study also includes

  • Ocean bottom that connect with fields like Broadband, S-wave and Tomographic reconstruction,
  • Anisotropy, which have a strong connection to Azimuth,
  • Tomography, which have a strong connection to Group velocity and Body waves. His Oceanography research focuses on subjects like Climatology, which are linked to Range.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mantle shear-wave velocity structure beneath the Hawaiian hot spot. (149 citations)
  • Mantle P-wave velocity structure beneath the Hawaiian hotspot (54 citations)
  • Asymmetric shallow mantle structure beneath the Hawaiian Swell—evidence from Rayleigh waves recorded by the PLUME network (37 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • The Internet

His primary scientific interests are in Geophysics, Seismology, Oceanography, Ocean Observatories Initiative and Mantle. His study in Geophysics focuses on Seismic refraction in particular. The study incorporates disciplines such as Seismometer, Indian ocean, Topographic relief, Paleontology and Inversion in addition to Seismic refraction.

His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Swell, Rayleigh wave and Telemetry. John A. Orcutt works mostly in the field of Oceanography, limiting it down to topics relating to Climatology and, in certain cases, Range and Underwater glider. His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pacific ocean, Plume, Mantle convection and Transition zone.
