What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Volcano
His primary areas of investigation include Mantle, Lithosphere, Transition zone, Seismology and Hotspot.
His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Asthenosphere, Mantle convection, Geomorphology and Crust.
His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry, Earth science and Proterozoic as well as Lithosphere.
The Ringwoodite research Ken Dueker does as part of his general Transition zone study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Dehydration, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His work in the fields of Caldera and Receiver function overlaps with other areas such as Classification of discontinuities.
His Hotspot study is associated with Geophysics.
His most cited work include:
- Mantle discontinuity structure from midpoint stacks of converted P to S waves across the Yellowstone hotspot track (353 citations)
- How Laramide-Age Hydration of North American Lithosphere by the Farallon Slab Controlled Subsequent Activity in the Western United States (262 citations)
- Beneath Yellowstone: Evaluating Plume and Nonplume Models Using Teleseismic Images of the Upper Mantle (188 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ken Dueker spends much of his time researching Seismology, Mantle, Lithosphere, Transition zone and Classification of discontinuities.
In general Seismology, his work in Receiver function is often linked to Shear velocity linking many areas of study.
In his study, Basin and Range Province is strongly linked to Mantle convection, which falls under the umbrella field of Mantle.
In his research, Terrane is intimately related to Proterozoic, which falls under the overarching field of Lithosphere.
His study in Transition zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both S-wave, Petrology and Hotspot.
In his research on the topic of Discontinuity, USArray is strongly related with Geodesy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (44.30%)
- Mantle (43.04%)
- Lithosphere (34.18%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?
