What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Optics
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
Marcus G. Langseth mainly focuses on Crust, Oceanic crust, Convection, Seafloor spreading and Petrology.
His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geothermal gradient and Seismic refraction.
His Geothermal gradient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geophysical survey, Ridge and Magnetic anomaly.
His study looks at the relationship between Convection and topics such as Seabed, which overlap with Ocean heat content and Thermohaline circulation.
The various areas that Marcus G. Langseth examines in his Seafloor spreading study include Seismology, Hydrothermal circulation and Rift.
In general Oceanography study, his work on Bottom water often relates to the realm of Heat flow, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His most cited work include:
- Reykjanes ridge crest: A detailed geophysical study (571 citations)
- Oregon Subduction Zone: Venting, Fauna, and Carbonates (405 citations)
- Crustal structure of the mid‐ocean ridges: 5. Heat flow through the Atlantic Ocean floor and convection currents (263 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Marcus G. Langseth mainly investigates Oceanography, Geophysics, Oceanic crust, Petrology and Seafloor spreading.
His Seabed and Bottom water study, which is part of a larger body of work in Oceanography, is frequently linked to Heat flow, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His work in Geophysics addresses issues such as Lithosphere, which are connected to fields such as Subduction and Accretion.
His Oceanic crust study also includes
- Crust which connect with Geothermal gradient,
- Rift which is related to area like Dike and Igneous rock.
The Petrology study combines topics in areas such as Seismology, Basement and Heat transfer.
As part of one scientific family, Marcus G. Langseth deals mainly with the area of Seafloor spreading, narrowing it down to issues related to the Geomorphology, and often Ridge, Hydrogeology and Plate tectonics.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (23.08%)
- Geophysics (21.54%)
- Oceanic crust (21.54%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2013)?
- Seismology (10.77%)
- Abundance (3.08%)
- Oceanography (23.08%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Abundance, Oceanography, Heat flow and Lithosphere.
His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seafloor spreading and Petrology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Basement, Basalt and Seamount.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Subduction, Hydrothermal circulation and Crust.
Many of his studies on Oceanography apply to Back-arc basin as well.
His Lithosphere research incorporates themes from Caliper log, Borehole, Fracture, Well logging and Stratigraphy.
Between 1993 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Heat Flow in Back‐Arc Basins of the Western Pacific (169 citations)
- The Nicoya Convergent Margin—A region of exceptionally low heat flow (101 citations)
- Techniques of Measuring Heat Flow Through the Ocean Floor (53 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Optics
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
His scientific interests lie mostly in Heat flow, Oceanography, Back-arc basin, Geothermal energy and Geotechnical engineering.
His research on Geothermal energy often connects related areas such as Seabed.
