Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Subduction

His scientific interests lie mostly in Lithosphere, Mantle, Geomorphology, Geophysics and Paleontology. His Lithosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plate tectonics and Geoid. His work in Mantle addresses subjects such as Craton, which are connected to disciplines such as Magmatism, Oceanic basin, Discontinuity, Xenolith and Convergent boundary.

His work on Foreland basin and Structural basin as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Peninsula, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Subduction research Manel Fernandez does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Scale, Zagros fold and thrust belt and Margin, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bouguer anomaly and Metamorphic rock, Petrology, Fold.

His most cited work include:

  • Catastrophic flood of the Mediterranean after the Messinian salinity crisis (298 citations)
  • Integrated geophysical‐petrological modeling of the lithosphere and sublithospheric upper mantle: Methodology and applications (178 citations)
  • The Pyrenean orogen: pre-, syn-, and post-collisional evolution (173 citations)

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

Manel Fernandez mainly focuses on Lithosphere, Paleontology, Geophysics, Mantle and Seismology. His Lithosphere research integrates issues from Geomorphology, Petrology, Geoid and Crust. In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Plate tectonics, Subduction, Cretaceous and Tectonophysics is often linked to Domain, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Manel Fernandez has researched Geophysics in several fields, including Rheology, Convection, Ocean surface topography, Lithospheric flexure and Isostasy. His work deals with themes such as Volcano, Volcanism, Craton, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic, which intersect with Mantle. Manel Fernandez interconnects Bouguer anomaly and Deformation in the investigation of issues within Seismology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lithosphere (54.07%)
  • Paleontology (25.58%)
  • Geophysics (25.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Paleontology (25.58%)
  • Lithosphere (54.07%)
  • Seismology (23.26%)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Lithosphere, Seismology, Subduction and Crust. Many of his research projects under Paleontology are closely connected to Domain with Domain, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The various areas that Manel Fernandez examines in his Lithosphere study include Geoid, Geophysics, Mantle and Buoyancy.

His work on Tectonophysics as part of general Geophysics study is frequently linked to Interpretation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study looks at the intersection of Seismology and topics like Deformation with Transect. His research in Subduction focuses on subjects like Petrology, which are connected to Geochemistry and Analogue modelling.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A New Southern North Atlantic Isochron Map: Insights Into the Drift of the Iberian Plate Since the Late Cretaceous (32 citations)
  • New insights into the crust and lithospheric mantle structure of Africa from elevation, geoid, and thermal analysis (23 citations)
  • Lithospheric structure in Central Eurasia derived from elevation, geoid anomaly and thermal analysis (23 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Tectonics

Subduction, Paleontology, Lithosphere, Geophysics and Plate tectonics are his primary areas of study. His Subduction research includes elements of Volcano, Intraplate earthquake, Petrology and Paleozoic. His research on Lithosphere frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Mantle.

His work on Crust as part of general Geophysics study is frequently linked to Interpretation, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Plate tectonics brings together such families of science as Massif, Inversion and Cenozoic. His research integrates issues of Gravity anomaly, Deformation and Scale in his study of Seismology.
