Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Basalt

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mantle, Astrobiology, Crust, Geochemistry and Geophysics. Her Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Slab, Subduction, Basalt and Mars Exploration Program. Linda T. Elkins-Tanton combines subjects such as Flux melting, Mineralogy and Partial melting with her study of Slab.

She has included themes like Mantle plume and Planet in her Astrobiology study. Her Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Early Earth and Asteroid. Her research investigates the connection with Geophysics and areas like Lithosphere which intersect with concerns in Magmatism, Continental crust and Rayleigh–Taylor instability.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fractional crystallization and mantle-melting controls on calc-alkaline differentiation trends (487 citations)
  • Linked magma ocean solidification and atmospheric growth for Earth and Mars (339 citations)
  • Thermal and Magmatic Evolution of the Moon (275 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Astrobiology, Mantle, Planet, Geochemistry and Asteroid. Her studies deal with areas such as Astronomy, Terrestrial planet and Psyche as well as Astrobiology. Her research in Mantle tackles topics such as Crust which are related to areas like Petrology.

Her Planet research includes themes of Solar System and Mars Exploration Program. The various areas that Linda T. Elkins-Tanton examines in her Geochemistry study include Flood basalt and Siberian Traps. Her studies examine the connections between Geophysics and genetics, as well as such issues in Lithosphere, with regards to Venus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (40.85%)
  • Mantle (27.11%)
  • Planet (17.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Astrobiology (40.85%)
  • Psyche (11.97%)
  • Asteroid (14.44%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Astrobiology, Psyche, Asteroid, Siberian Traps and Mantle. She interconnects Protoplanet and Exoplanet, Planet in the investigation of issues within Astrobiology. Her Planet research includes elements of Solar System and Mars Exploration Program.

Her work carried out in the field of Siberian Traps brings together such families of science as Permian and Earth science. Her Mantle study contributes to a more complete understanding of Geochemistry. Her work on Crust as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to FERRIC IRON and Oxidation state, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The timeline of the lunar bombardment: Revisited (103 citations)
  • Origin of Earth's Water: Chondritic Inheritance Plus Nebular Ingassing and Storage of Hydrogen in the Core (40 citations)
  • Systemic swings in end-Permian climate from Siberian Traps carbon and sulfur outgassing (35 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Basalt

Her main research concerns Psyche, Astrobiology, Siberian Traps, Mantle and Lunar magma ocean. Her Psyche research focuses on Meteorite and how it relates to Hypervelocity and Silicate. Her study involves Asteroid and Planetesimal, a branch of Astrobiology.

Her study explores the link between Siberian Traps and topics such as Magmatism that cross with problems in Permian. Her research in Mantle intersects with topics in Terrestrial planet, Planet and Mars Exploration Program. Linda T. Elkins-Tanton interconnects Geodynamics, Debris and Geophysics in the investigation of issues within Lunar magma ocean.
