John P. Platt focuses on Lithosphere, Metamorphic rock, Seismology, Geophysics and Petrology.
In his study, Crust, Horst and graben, Subsidence and Ridge is inextricably linked to Paleogene, which falls within the broad field of Lithosphere.
The various areas that he examines in his Metamorphic rock study include Metamorphism, Granulite and Underplating.
His Metamorphism research is included under the broader classification of Geochemistry.
His Seismology research incorporates themes from Neogene and Arc.
His study focuses on the intersection of Petrology and fields such as Magmatism with connections in the field of Lithospheric mantle and Slab.
His most cited work include:
- Dynamics of orogenic wedges and the uplift of high-pressure metamorphic rocks (1074 citations)
- Extensional collapse of thickened continental lithosphere: A working hypothesis for the Alboran Sea and Gibraltar arc (698 citations)
- Extensional structures in anisotropic rocks (537 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Shear zone, Petrology, Subduction and Geochemistry.
His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Paleontology and Clockwise.
His Shear zone research also works with subjects such as
- Shear which is related to area like Mylonite, Lineation and Brittleness,
- Slip which intersects with area such as Thrust.
He interconnects Lithosphere, Magmatism and Crust in the investigation of issues within Petrology.
His study looks at the relationship between Lithosphere and topics such as Geophysics, which overlap with Delamination.
John P. Platt combines subjects such as Fission track dating, Geomorphology and Underplating with his study of Metamorphic rock.
