Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics

Massimo Mattei mainly investigates Paleontology, Seismology, Lineation, Tectonics and Neogene. Massimo Mattei regularly links together related areas like Clockwise in his Paleontology studies. His studies deal with areas such as Petrology and Crust as well as Seismology.

His Petrology research focuses on Shear zone and how it connects with Upper crust and Slab. The Lineation study which covers Sedimentary basin that intersects with Tectonic phase. His Neogene research includes themes of Late Miocene and Quaternary.

His most cited work include:

  • Midcrustal shear zones in postorogenic extension: Example from the northern Tyrrhenian Sea (422 citations)
  • The dynamics of back‐arc extension: an experimental approach to the opening of the Tyrrhenian Sea (215 citations)
  • Trace elements and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes of K-rich, shoshonitic, and calc-alkaline magmatism of the Western Mediterranean Region: Genesis of ultrapotassic to calc-alkaline magmatic associations in a post-collisional geodynamic setting (213 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Tectonics, Seismology, Paleomagnetism and Geochemistry. His Paleontology and Structural basin, Neogene, Late Miocene, Quaternary and Sedimentary rock investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities. Many of his studies on Tectonics apply to Fault as well.

Massimo Mattei combines topics linked to Arc with his work on Seismology. His Paleomagnetism research includes elements of Pleistocene, Cenozoic, Clastic rock and Orocline, Clockwise. The study incorporates disciplines such as Petrology and Geomorphology in addition to Volcano.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (38.50%)
  • Tectonics (26.29%)
  • Seismology (24.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Paleontology (38.50%)
  • Tectonics (26.29%)
  • Paleomagnetism (22.54%)

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

Massimo Mattei spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Tectonics, Paleomagnetism, Geochemistry and Structural basin. As a part of the same scientific study, Massimo Mattei usually deals with the Paleontology, concentrating on Plateau and frequently concerns with Excavation and Pedogenesis. Seismology covers Massimo Mattei research in Tectonics.

The concepts of his Seismology study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock and Clockwise. His Paleomagnetism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arc, Cenozoic and Clastic rock. His Magnetostratigraphy study, which is part of a larger body of work in Structural basin, is frequently linked to Margin, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • High-Precision 87Sr/86Sr Analyses in Wines and Their Use as a Geological Fingerprint for Tracing Geographic Provenance (58 citations)
  • Post-Cimmerian (Jurassic-Cenozoic) paleogeography and vertical axis tectonic rotations of Central Iran and the Alborz Mountains (40 citations)
  • New insights into the onset and evolution of the central Apennine extensional intermontane basins based on the tectonically active L’Aquila Basin (central Italy) (37 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Tectonics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Tectonics, Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Seismology and Volcano. His primary area of study in Tectonics is in the field of Lineation. His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Structural basin, Sedimentary rock, Foreland basin, Late Miocene and Rift.

The concepts of his Paleomagnetism study are interwoven with issues in Neogene, Subduction, Cenozoic and Clastic rock. His Seismology research focuses on subjects like Clockwise, which are linked to Siliciclastic and Nappe. His Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Geophysics, Petrology and Permeability.
