Overview

John Wheeler is affiliated with the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom and has a research focus encompassing engineering and earth and planetary sciences. Their work primarily falls within the subfields of geophysics, mechanics of materials, ocean engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials chemistry.

The researcher's studies address topics such as geological and geochemical analysis, earthquake and tectonic studies, high-pressure geophysics and materials, rock mechanics and modeling, hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, hydraulic fracturing and reservoir analysis, and microstructure and mechanical properties.

Wheeler has published articles in a variety of scientific venues. Frequent publication venues include Journal of Structural Geology, SSRN Electronic Journal, Microscopy and Microanalysis, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and Nature Communications.

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Wheeler cover a range of themes and publication years, including:

  • Microstructural constraints on magmatic mushes under Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Temperature and strain controls on ice deformation mechanisms: insights from the microstructures of samples deformed to progressively higher strains at −10, −20 and −30 °C, 2020, The Cryosphere
  • A unifying basis for the interplay of stress and chemical processes in the Earth: support from diverse experiments, 2020, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology
  • Potassium silicate alteration in porphyry copper-gold deposits: a case study at the giant maar-diatreme hosted Grasberg deposit, Indonesia, 2022, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research
