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.
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.
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
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.
