Lev Vinnik works mostly in the field of Geophysics, limiting it down to topics relating to Anisotropy and, in certain cases, Azimuth, Amplitude, Isotropy and Polarization, as a part of the same area of interest.
He interconnects Indian Shield, Mantle convection and Hotspot in the investigation of issues within Transition zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (65.08%)
- Mantle (53.17%)
- Lithosphere (34.92%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?
- Seismology (65.08%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Mantle, Transition zone, Lithosphere and Receiver function.
His Seismology research focuses on Crust and how it relates to Subduction.
His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Basalt, Ocean surface topography, Petrology and Body waves.
His Transition zone research includes themes of Classification of discontinuities and Hotspot.
His specific area of interest is Lithosphere, where he studies Low-velocity zone.
Lev Vinnik combines subjects such as Massif, Rift and Continental collision with his study of Receiver function.
Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The lithosphere, LAB, LVZ and Lehmann discontinuity under central Fennoscandia from receiver functions (19 citations)

- Mantle beneath the Gibraltar Arc from receiver functions (17 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Mathematical analysis
- Plate tectonics
- Geophysics
Lev Vinnik mostly deals with Mantle, Transition zone, Lithosphere, Seismology and Hotspot.
Mantle is a subfield of Geophysics that Lev Vinnik tackles.
His study ties his expertise on Crust together with the subject of Transition zone.
His work in Lithosphere addresses subjects such as Craton, which are connected to disciplines such as Ocean surface topography.
In most of his Seismology studies, his work intersects topics such as Massif.
His study looks at the relationship between Hotspot and topics such as Mantle wedge, which overlap with Core–mantle boundary and Kimberlite.
