Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Thermodynamics
Mechanics
Volcano

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Volcano, Petrology, Magma and Crust. Josef Dufek undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Volcano and Crystal through his research. Josef Dufek has included themes like Magma chamber and Mineralogy in his Petrology study.

His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Convection and Volcanic rock. Josef Dufek interconnects Crystallization and Phenocryst in the investigation of issues within Magma. The various areas that Josef Dufek examines in his Crust study include Volcanism, Magmatism and Mantle.

His most cited work include:

Lower Crustal Magma Genesis and Preservation: a Stochastic Framework for the Evaluation of Basalt–Crust Interaction (267 citations)
Quantum magmatism: Magmatic compositional gaps generated by melt-crystal dynamics (195 citations)
Prolonged magmatic activity on Mars inferred from the detection of felsic rocks (88 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Geochemistry, Petrology and Geophysics are his primary areas of study. He combines subjects such as Atmospheric sciences and Clastic rock with his study of Volcano. The Pyroclastic rock study combines topics in areas such as Mechanics, Flow, Mineralogy, Pumice and Volcanology.

His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Magma chamber, Magma and Igneous rock. His research integrates issues of Crystallization and Silicic in his study of Magma. His Crust research incorporates elements of Dike, Volcanism, Magmatism and Mantle.

He most often published in these fields:

Volcano (30.07%)
Pyroclastic rock (22.88%)
Geochemistry (20.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

Volcano (30.07%)
Petrology (18.95%)
Mars Exploration Program (9.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Volcano, Petrology, Mars Exploration Program, Triboelectric effect and Debris. His studies deal with areas such as Martian, Dust devil and Astrobiology as well as Volcano. His work carried out in the field of Petrology brings together such families of science as Rhyolite and Pluton.

His Mars Exploration Program study frequently links to other fields, such as Mineralogy. His Triboelectric effect research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Humidity, Atmospheric sciences, Volcanic ash and Water content. His research in Debris tackles topics such as Pyroclastic rock which are related to areas like Turbidity current, Volcanology, Natural hazard and Geophysics.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Multiphase flow behaviour and hazard prediction of pyroclastic density currents (6 citations)
Displaced cratonic mantle concentrates deep carbon during continental rifting (5 citations)
Microphysical Effects of Water Content and Temperature on the Triboelectrification of Volcanic Ash on Long Time Scales (2 citations)
