Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Mineral

Geochemistry, Mantle, Trace element, Lithosphere and Partial melting are her primary areas of study. Her Geochemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Mid-Atlantic Ridge. While the research belongs to areas of Mantle, Marguerite Godard spends her time largely on the problem of Ophiolite, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Oceanic crust.

Her Trace element research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Massif, Mass balance, Olivine and Mantle xenoliths. She works mostly in the field of Lithosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to Subduction and, in certain cases, Geochemical cycle. Her Partial melting course of study focuses on Hotspot and Diapir.

Her most cited work include:

  • Orogenic, ophiolitic and abyssal peridotites (325 citations)
  • Geochemistry of subduction zone serpentinites: A review (305 citations)
  • Geochemistry of abyssal peridotites (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 15°20'N, ODP Leg 209): Implications for fluid/rock interaction in slow spreading environments (262 citations)

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

Marguerite Godard mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Olivine, Ophiolite and Subduction. Her work in Geochemistry is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Oceanic crust. Her Oceanic crust research incorporates elements of Mid-ocean ridge, Rift, Gabbro and Crust.

Her studies deal with areas such as Petrology, Lithosphere, Mantle wedge and Transition zone as well as Mantle. Her Olivine research includes themes of Carbonation and Spinel. Her work carried out in the field of Ophiolite brings together such families of science as Metamorphic rock, Igneous rock, Incompatible element, Magma chamber and Semail Ophiolite.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (70.29%)
  • Mantle (37.14%)
  • Olivine (25.71%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (70.29%)
  • Mantle (37.14%)
  • Ophiolite (21.14%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Mantle, Ophiolite, Petrology and Olivine. In most of her Geochemistry studies, her work intersects topics such as Subduction. Her study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oceanic crust and Crust.

Marguerite Godard interconnects Metamorphic rock, Mineralogy and Gabbro in the investigation of issues within Ophiolite. Marguerite Godard combines subjects such as Fractional crystallization, Crystallization, Lithosphere and Protolith with her study of Olivine. Her work in Peridotite tackles topics such as Mantle wedge which are related to areas like Lile.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Subduction initiation and ophiolite crust: new insights from IODP drilling (82 citations)
  • Tectonic structure, evolution, and the nature of oceanic core complexes and their detachment fault zones (13°20′N and 13°30′N, Mid Atlantic Ridge) (43 citations)
  • Magmatic Response to Subduction Initiation: Part 1. Fore‐arc Basalts of the Izu‐Bonin Arc From IODP Expedition 352 (39 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Geochemistry

Her primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Mantle, Olivine, Ophiolite and Subduction. Marguerite Godard usually deals with Geochemistry and limits it to topics linked to Oceanic crust and Petrology. Her studies in Mantle integrate themes in fields like Mantle wedge and Crust.

Her Olivine research integrates issues from Massif, Crystallization, Lithosphere and Protolith. Mafic and Eclogite is closely connected to Metasomatism in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Peridotite. Her Trace element study incorporates themes from Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock and Volcanic arc.
