Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Subduction
  • Oceanography

Maria Seton focuses on Plate tectonics, Subduction, Seismology, Paleontology and Plate reconstruction. The various areas that she examines in her Plate tectonics study include Mantle convection, Geophysics and Oceanic basin. Her research in Mantle convection intersects with topics in Geodesy, Paleoclimatology and Palaeogeography.

The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Triple junction and Seafloor spreading. Maria Seton works on Paleontology which deals in particular with Terrane. Her work carried out in the field of Plate reconstruction brings together such families of science as Convergent boundary, Ridge and Igneous rock.

Her most cited work include:

  • Global continental and ocean basin reconstructions since 200 Ma (1001 citations)
  • Ocean Basin Evolution and Global-Scale Plate Reorganization Events Since Pangea Breakup (393 citations)
  • Global plate boundary evolution and kinematics since the late Paleozoic (272 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Plate tectonics, Subduction, Tectonics and Seismology. Her Plate tectonics research integrates issues from Passive margin, Lithosphere and Geophysics, Mantle. Her Geophysics research incorporates themes from Mesoplates, Mantle convection and Convection.

Maria Seton focuses mostly in the field of Mantle, narrowing it down to matters related to Hotspot and, in some cases, Paleomagnetism, Seamount and Volcano. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Slab, Seafloor spreading and Terrane. Her Tectonics research includes themes of Igneous rock and Breakup.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (40.34%)
  • Plate tectonics (34.45%)
  • Subduction (32.77%)

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

  • Paleontology (40.34%)
  • Plate tectonics (34.45%)
  • Subduction (32.77%)

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

Maria Seton spends much of her time researching Paleontology, Plate tectonics, Subduction, Tectonics and Geodynamics. Maria Seton has researched Plate tectonics in several fields, including Volcano, Intraplate earthquake, Lithosphere and Mantle. Her Subduction research incorporates elements of Slab, Seismic tomography, Basanite and Oceanic basin.

Her Tectonics research is mostly focused on the topic Mantle convection. Her Geodynamics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gondwana, Breakup and Palaeogeography. Her Plate reconstruction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Farallon Plate and Tectonophysics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • GPlates: Building a Virtual Earth Through Deep Time (123 citations)
  • A Global Plate Model Including Lithospheric Deformation Along Major Rifts and Orogens Since the Triassic (68 citations)
  • A reconstruction of the North Atlantic since the earliest Jurassic (37 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Oceanography
  • Subduction

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Plate tectonics, Tectonics, Geodynamics, Paleontology and Rift. Her studies in Plate tectonics integrate themes in fields like Mantle convection and Mantle. The concepts of her Mantle convection study are interwoven with issues in Geophysics and Palaeogeography.

Her Mantle research integrates issues from Back-arc basin and Terrane. Particularly relevant to Subduction is her body of work in Paleontology. The Rift study combines topics in areas such as Lithosphere, Continental crust and Continental margin.
