Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Optics
  • Plate tectonics

LeRoy M. Dorman mostly deals with Seismology, Subduction, Mid-ocean ridge, Oceanography and Ridge. In most of his Seismology studies, his work intersects topics such as Mantle. LeRoy M. Dorman has included themes like Slab and Seismometer in his Subduction study.

His Mid-ocean ridge study incorporates themes from Wave propagation, Rayleigh wave and Perpendicular. While the research belongs to areas of Oceanography, LeRoy M. Dorman spends his time largely on the problem of Mantle flow, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Seabed and Anisotropy. LeRoy M. Dorman combines subjects such as Attenuation, Block and Inversion with his study of Ridge.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate-Ocean Variability and Ecosystem Response in the Northeast Pacific (579 citations)
  • Imaging the deep seismic structure beneath a mid-ocean ridge : The MELT experiment (265 citations)
  • A complex pattern of mantle flow in the Lau backarc (235 citations)

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

LeRoy M. Dorman focuses on Seismology, Seismometer, Seafloor spreading, Acoustics and Seabed. He works mostly in the field of Seismology, limiting it down to concerns involving Crust and, occasionally, Mohorovičić discontinuity. His research integrates issues of Ridge, Ocean bottom, Microseism and Geodesy in his study of Seismometer.

His studies examine the connections between Seafloor spreading and genetics, as well as such issues in Bathymetry, with regards to Shear. His study on Seabed also encompasses disciplines like

  • Low-velocity zone, which have a strong connection to Fracture zone,
  • Stoneley wave together with Deep sea. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Subduction, Mantle wedge, Lau Basin and Mantle is strongly linked to Slab.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (63.64%)
  • Seismometer (23.23%)
  • Seafloor spreading (16.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2019)?

  • Seismology (63.64%)
  • Subduction (13.13%)
  • Seismotectonics (7.07%)

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

LeRoy M. Dorman spends much of his time researching Seismology, Subduction, Seismotectonics, Seafloor spreading and Seismometer. In general Seismology, his work in Oceanic crust is often linked to Peninsula linking many areas of study. His biological study deals with issues like Continental crust, which deal with fields such as Pacific Plate and Petrology.

The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Slab and Induced seismicity. His study looks at the relationship between Slab and fields such as Back-arc basin, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Seismotectonics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tomography and Limit.

Between 1999 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • A complex pattern of mantle flow in the Lau backarc (235 citations)
  • Geodetic and seismic constraints on some seismogenic zone processes in Costa Rica (112 citations)
  • Correlated transient fluid pulsing and seismic tremor in the Costa Rica subduction zone (112 citations)

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

  • Optics
  • Oceanography
  • Plate tectonics

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Subduction, Forearc, Induced seismicity and Tectonics. Oceanic crust, Plate tectonics and Lau Basin are the subjects of his Seismology studies. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Oceanic crust, focusing on Crust and, on occasion, Petrology and Pacific Plate.

His work deals with themes such as Oceanography, Plume, Mantle flow and Anisotropy, which intersect with Lau Basin. His research investigates the connection with Subduction and areas like Slab which intersect with concerns in Back-arc basin, Peridotite, Mantle and Classification of discontinuities. His Forearc research focuses on Lithosphere and how it connects with Inversion, Ridge and Block.
