What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Oceanography
- Paleontology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock, Contourite and Sedimentary depositional environment.
Luis Somoza interconnects Lophelia and Cold seep in the investigation of issues within Paleontology.
His Geomorphology study often links to related topics such as Neotectonics.
In his research on the topic of Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Petrology, Extensional definition and Pleistocene is strongly related with Diapir.
The various areas that Luis Somoza examines in his Contourite study include Seafloor spreading, Oceanography, Paleoceanography and Submarine canyon.
As a member of one scientific family, Luis Somoza mostly works in the field of Sedimentary depositional environment, focusing on Continental shelf and, on occasion, Continental margin.
His most cited work include:
- The quest for the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary west of the Strait of Gibraltar (252 citations)
- The Betic orogen and the Iberian-African boundary in the Gulf of Cadiz: geological evolution (central North Atlantic) (222 citations)
- Seabed morphology and hydrocarbon seepage in the Gulf of Cádiz mud volcano area: Acoustic imagery, multibeam and ultra-high resolution seismic data (187 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geomorphology, Paleontology, Oceanography, Sedimentary rock and Geochemistry.
His Geomorphology research incorporates themes from Continental shelf, Seafloor spreading and Continental margin.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Bathymetry and Peninsula in addition to Paleontology.
His work on Holocene and Current as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently connected to International congress and Margin, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
In the field of Geochemistry, his study on Mud volcano, Authigenic and Volcano overlaps with subjects such as Ferromanganese nodules.
His Contourite research includes elements of North Atlantic Deep Water and Antarctic Bottom Water.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (33.94%)
- Paleontology (28.05%)
- Oceanography (26.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Oceanography (26.24%)
- Paleontology (28.05%)
- Geomorphology (33.94%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Paleontology, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Continental margin.
His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Mediterranean climate and Hydrothermal vent.
His Paleontology study which covers Bathymetry that intersects with Seabed.
He has researched Geomorphology in several fields, including Sedimentary rock, Debris, Sill and Archipelago.
His work on Authigenic and Mud volcano as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Todorokite, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Luis Somoza has included themes like Continental shelf, Sea level and Contourite in his Continental margin study.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A model of oceanic development by ridge jumping: Opening of the Scotia Sea (46 citations)
- Strategic and rare elements in Cretaceous-Cenozoic cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from seamounts in the Canary Island Seamount Province (northeastern tropical Atlantic) (44 citations)
- Detection and mapping of cold-water coral mounds and living Lophelia reefs in the Galicia Bank, Atlantic NW Iberia margin (41 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Oceanography
- Volcano
His main research concerns Geomorphology, Paleontology, Bathymetry, Seamount and Geochemistry.
His research in Geomorphology intersects with topics in Continental shelf, Sill, Sea level and Continental margin.
His study in Continental margin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Contourite, Quaternary and Pockmark.
Luis Somoza works mostly in the field of Bathymetry, limiting it down to concerns involving Seabed and, occasionally, Period, Mud volcano, Channel, Fault scarp and Lophelia.
His research in Seamount tackles topics such as Crust which are related to areas like Diagenesis, Botryoidal, Mineralogy and Oxygen minimum zone.
His Seafloor spreading research includes themes of Neogene, Structural basin and Chimney.
