John G. Sclater spends much of his time researching Lithosphere, Paleontology, Seismology, Oceanic crust and Geophysics.
His work deals with themes such as Subsidence and Crust, which intersect with Lithosphere.
His Paleontology study frequently links to other fields, such as Oceanography.
His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ridge, Trough and Magnetic anomaly.
The various areas that John G. Sclater examines in his Oceanic crust study include Seafloor spreading and Continental crust.
His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seabed and Convection.
His most cited work include:
- An analysis of the variation of ocean floor bathymetry and heat flow with age (2339 citations)
- Continental stretching: An explanation of the Post-Mid-Cretaceous subsidence of the central North Sea Basin (1663 citations)
- The heat flow through oceanic and continental crust and the heat loss of the Earth (972 citations)
