What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Geophysics
- Subduction
His primary areas of study are Mantle, Geophysics, Mantle convection, Seismic tomography and Geoid.
He has included themes like Geodynamics and Hotspot in his Mantle study.
Mark A. Richards combines subjects such as Archipelago, Volcanic rock, Paleontology, Seamount and Mantle plume with his study of Hotspot.
His Geophysics study combines topics in areas such as Lithosphere, Thermal subsidence and Plate tectonics.
His Mantle convection research incorporates elements of Convection, Transition zone and Boundary layer.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Volcanism, focusing on Basalt and, on occasion, Plume.
His most cited work include:
- Flood Basalts and Hot-Spot Tracks: Plume Heads and Tails (989 citations)
- Lower mantle heterogeneity, dynamic topography and the geoid (653 citations)
- Geoid Anomalies in a Dynamic Earth (566 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Geophysics, Mantle, Mantle convection, Lithosphere and Subduction are his primary areas of study.
His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Boundary layer, Plate tectonics and Slab window.
His work deals with themes such as Mantle plume, Plume, Convection and Hotspot, which intersect with Mantle.
The various areas that Mark A. Richards examines in his Mantle plume study include Volcano, Volcanism, Basalt and Petrology.
Mark A. Richards works mostly in the field of Mantle convection, limiting it down to concerns involving Asthenosphere and, occasionally, Low-velocity zone.
Mark A. Richards works mostly in the field of Lithosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to True polar wander and, in certain cases, Polar wander, as a part of the same area of interest.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geophysics (44.68%)
- Mantle (42.55%)
- Mantle convection (26.95%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Petrology (12.77%)
- Volcano (8.51%)
- Plume (14.89%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Petrology, Volcano, Plume, Mantle plume and Seismology.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Basaltic lava, Thermal, Magma chamber and Submarine pipeline.
His study in Plume is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geomorphology and Hotspot.
His Mantle plume research incorporates themes from Mantle and Asthenosphere.
His research on Mantle concerns the broader Geophysics.
His work on Geophysical imaging, Lava, Seiche and Seismic wave as part of general Seismology research is often related to Event, thus linking different fields of science.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Go beyond bias training (41 citations)
- A seismically induced onshore surge deposit at the KPg boundary, North Dakota (31 citations)
- Differences in STEM doctoral publication by ethnicity, gender and academic field at a large public research university (19 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Thermodynamics
- Geophysics
Mark A. Richards mainly focuses on Underrepresented Minority, Training, Plume, Channelized and Geomorphology.
His work in Underrepresented Minority is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Alliance.
Among his Training studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Research management, Applied psychology and Ambiguity.
His Plume study frequently links to other fields, such as Hotspot.
