Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Oceanography
  • Volcano

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Oceanography, Bathymetry, Structural basin and Peninsula. His research integrates issues of Earth science, Arctic and Hotspot in his study of Paleontology. His studies deal with areas such as Rift and Crust as well as Oceanography.

He interconnects Seismology, Isochron and Magnetic anomaly in the investigation of issues within Bathymetry. He works on Structural basin which deals in particular with Cenozoic. As a member of one scientific family, Lawrence A. Lawver mostly works in the field of Cenozoic, focusing on East antarctica and, on occasion, Lineation and Fracture zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Cenozoic plate reconstruction of Southeast Asia (521 citations)
  • Revised plate motions relative to the hotspots from combined Atlantic and Indian Ocean hotspot tracks (508 citations)
  • Evolution of Cenozoic seaways in the circum-Antarctic region (411 citations)

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

Lawrence A. Lawver focuses on Paleontology, Oceanography, Plate tectonics, Structural basin and Gondwana. His study involves Plate reconstruction, Subduction, Tectonics, Magnetic anomaly and Cenozoic, a branch of Paleontology. His Seafloor spreading, Circumpolar star and Fracture zone study in the realm of Oceanography interacts with subjects such as Peninsula.

His Plate tectonics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transform fault and Mid-ocean ridge. His Structural basin study which covers Period that intersects with Arctic. His Gondwana research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Laurentia, Mesozoic and Cretaceous.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (55.67%)
  • Oceanography (29.90%)
  • Plate tectonics (18.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Paleontology (55.67%)
  • Tectonophysics (4.12%)
  • Breakup (4.12%)

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

Lawrence A. Lawver spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Tectonophysics, Breakup, Oceanic crust and Oceanography. The Crust, Seafloor spreading and Cenozoic research Lawrence A. Lawver does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Motion, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Seafloor spreading study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Passive margin, Rift and Hotspot.

His work focuses on many connections between Oceanic crust and other disciplines, such as Mantle, that overlap with his field of interest in Subduction. His Gondwana study is focused on Structural basin in general. His study in Structural basin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Indian ocean and Magnetic anomaly.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Decrease in oceanic crustal thickness since the breakup of Pangaea (35 citations)
  • New Somali Basin magnetic anomalies and a plate model for the early Indian Ocean (33 citations)
  • Composition and evolution of the Ancestral South Sandwich Arc: Implications for the flow of deep ocean water and mantle through the Drake Passage Gateway (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Oceanography
  • Volcano

Lawrence A. Lawver mainly focuses on Paleontology, Oceanic crust, Mantle, Magnetic anomaly and Crust. His research on Paleontology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Hotspot. Lawrence A. Lawver combines subjects such as Seafloor spreading and Passive margin, Rift with his study of Hotspot.

The various areas that Lawrence A. Lawver examines in his Oceanic basin study include Pangaea, Lithosphere, Earth science and Plate tectonics. His Structural basin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ridge, Anomaly, Geophysics and Cretaceous. His studies in Ridge integrate themes in fields like Gondwana and Terrane.
