John Ludden mostly deals with Geochemistry, Basalt, Subduction, Archean and Oceanic crust.
His study ties his expertise on Seafloor spreading together with the subject of Geochemistry.
The various areas that John Ludden examines in his Seafloor spreading study include Saponite, Isotope fractionation and Mantle.
His Basalt research integrates issues from Seawater, Hydrothermal circulation, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Weathering.
His study in Subduction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lithosphere and Crust.
John Ludden interconnects Suture and Plate tectonics in the investigation of issues within Archean.
His most cited work include:
- Composition of altered oceanic crust at ODP Sites 801 and 1149 (379 citations)
- Archaean subduction inferred from seismic images of a mantle suture in the Superior Province (276 citations)
- An evaluation of the behavior of the rare earth elements during the weathering of sea-floor basalt (239 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Basalt, Archean, Mantle and Crust.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Subduction and Hydrothermal circulation.
His Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Continental crust and Plate tectonics.
His Basalt study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Andesite, Lava, Rhyolite and Weathering.
His Archean research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Accretion and Tectonics, Pluton, Terrane.
He works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to topics relating to Hotspot and, in certain cases, Mantle wedge, as a part of the same area of interest.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Basalt, Oceanic crust, Hydrothermal circulation and Mantle.
His Crust study, which is part of a larger body of work in Geochemistry, is frequently linked to Sulfate, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His studies deal with areas such as Orogeny, Tectonics, Petrology and Archean as well as Crust.
His Oceanic crust study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Seismic wave, Igneous rock, Partial melting, Seafloor spreading and Mantle plume.
His Hydrothermal circulation research incorporates themes from Seawater, Mineralogy, Isotope fractionation and Ultramafic rock.
His work deals with themes such as Volcano, Greenstone belt, Earth science and Transition zone, which intersect with Lithosphere.
Between 1999 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Composition of altered oceanic crust at ODP Sites 801 and 1149 (379 citations)
- Iron isotope fractionation during oceanic crust alteration (170 citations)
- Subsurface processes at the lucky strike hydrothermal field, Mid-Atlantic ridge: evidence from sulfur, selenium, and iron isotopes (153 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Basalt, Oceanic crust, Hydrothermal circulation and Seafloor spreading.
His Basalt study deals with Seawater intersecting with Breccia and Pyrite.
He has researched Oceanic crust in several fields, including Saponite, Isotope fractionation, Weathering and Crust.
His Crust study combines topics in areas such as Trace element and La icp ms.
In his work, Isotopes of copper, Ultramafic rock and Mid-Atlantic Ridge is strongly intertwined with Mineralogy, which is a subfield of Hydrothermal circulation.
His Seafloor spreading research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Celadonite, Ocean island basalt, Mantle plume, Lithosphere and Mantle.
