What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Kenneth H. Wohletz mostly deals with Pyroclastic rock, Magma, Mineralogy, Petrology and Pyroclastic surge.
His Pyroclastic rock research includes themes of Lava and Tephra.
His Magma study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geophysics, Atmospheric pressure, Buoyancy, Vortex and Fluid mechanics.
Many of his studies on Mineralogy involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Grain size.
Kenneth H. Wohletz combines subjects such as Volcanic cone, Igneous rock and Cinder cone with his study of Pyroclastic surge.
His studies deal with areas such as Impact crater, Phreatic and Basalt as well as Volcano.
His most cited work include:
- Mechanisms of hydrovolcanic pyroclast formation: Grain-size, scanning electron microscopy, and experimental studies (384 citations)
- Explosive magma-water interactions: Thermodynamics, explosion mechanisms, and field studies (335 citations)
- Hydrovolcanism: Basic considerations and review (286 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Pyroclastic rock, Volcano, Magma, Geochemistry and Mineralogy.
His Pyroclastic rock research incorporates elements of Tephra and Pore water pressure.
In general Volcano, his work in Volcanology and Volcanic hazards is often linked to Scanning electron microscope and Mixing linking many areas of study.
His study in Magma is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rhyolite, Petrology, Geophysics and Caldera.
His Geochemistry research includes elements of Meridiani Planum, Geomorphology and Mars Exploration Program.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Debris and Pumice in addition to Mineralogy.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Volcano, Pyroclastic rock and Geophysics.
His study on Martian is often connected to Environmental science, Sedimentation and Late Heavy Bombardment as part of broader study in Astrobiology.
His study connects Petrology and Volcano.
His Petrology study incorporates themes from Pumice, Grain size and Flow conditions.
His research integrates issues of Outcrop and Geotechnical engineering in his study of Pyroclastic rock.
His Geophysics research integrates issues from Convection, Eruption column, Explosive eruption and Plume.
Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Numerical simulations of volcanic jets: Importance of vent overpressure (51 citations)
- Effects of vent overpressure on buoyant eruption columns: Implications for plume stability (43 citations)
- Water/Magma Interaction: Physical considerations for the deep submarine environment (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary areas of study are Plume, Pyroclastic rock, Overpressure, Explosive eruption and Geophysics.
Kenneth H. Wohletz has researched Plume in several fields, including Astrobiology and Water vapor.
Kenneth H. Wohletz is involved in the study of Pyroclastic rock that focuses on Phreatomagmatic eruption in particular.
Eruption column, Vulcanian eruption, Fluid dynamics, Heat flux and Buoyancy are fields of study that overlap with his Overpressure research.
His work deals with themes such as Volcanic ash, Petrology and Entrainment, which intersect with Explosive eruption.
