- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
Mark R. Handy mainly investigates Continental crust, Crust, Shear zone, Mineralogy and Lithosphere.
His Continental crust study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Mylonite.
His Mylonite research includes themes of Shear, Petrology and Induced seismicity.
His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Seismology and Ivrea zone.
His research integrates issues of Rheology, Drop, Grain boundary, Strain rate and Creep in his study of Mineralogy.
Mark R. Handy combines subjects such as Subduction, Eclogitization, Oceanic crust, Cohesion and Fault with his study of Lithosphere.
His most cited work include:
- Experimental deformation of partially melted granite revisited: implications for the continental crust (538 citations)
- Reconciling plate-tectonic reconstructions of Alpine Tethys with the geological–geophysical record of spreading and subduction in the Alps (527 citations)
- The solid‐state flow of polymineralic rocks (318 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Petrology, Lithosphere, Shear zone and Subduction.
His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Denudation and Window.
His Lithosphere study incorporates themes from Plate tectonics and Geophysics, Mantle, Crust.
His studies deal with areas such as Geomorphology, Geochemistry, Shearing and Continental crust as well as Shear zone.
His Continental crust research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ivrea zone and Underplating.
His work deals with themes such as Shear, Strain rate, Mineralogy and Brittleness, which intersect with Mylonite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (27.34%)
- Petrology (22.66%)
- Lithosphere (21.88%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Seismology (27.34%)
- Petrology (22.66%)
- Window (11.72%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Seismology, Petrology, Window, Subduction and Paleontology are his primary areas of study.
Seismology is represented through his Lithosphere, Nappe, Fault, Plate tectonics and Seismic array research.
His Lithosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Discontinuity, Mantle and Geophysical imaging.
He works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to topics relating to Tectonics and, in certain cases, Crust and Seismic noise.
The concepts of his Petrology study are interwoven with issues in Denudation and Penninic.
His work on Neogene as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Kinematics, thus linking different fields of science.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The AlpArray Seismic Network: A Large-Scale European Experiment to Image the Alpine Orogen (53 citations)
- Post‐20 Ma Motion of the Adriatic Plate: New Constraints From Surrounding Orogens and Implications for Crust‐Mantle Decoupling (37 citations)
- Changing patterns of exhumation and denudation in front of an advancing crustal indenter, Tauern Window (Eastern Alps) (17 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Mantle, Crust, Lithosphere and Window.
In general Seismology, his work in Ophiolite is often linked to Relation linking many areas of study.
His research in Mantle intersects with topics in Sedimentary basin and Tectonics.
Mark R. Handy studies Asthenosphere, a branch of Lithosphere.
He combines subjects such as Penninic, Subduction and Petrology with his study of Window.
His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Denudation, Doming and Erosion, Geomorphology.
