Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Igneous rock
  • Internal medicine
  • NFKB1 Gene

Geochemistry, Crust, Migmatite, Petrology and Metamorphism are his primary areas of study. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subduction and Granulite. His Subduction research integrates issues from Proterozoic, Mantle and Plate tectonics.

His Migmatite study incorporates themes from Quartz, Feldspar and Pluton. His work carried out in the field of Petrology brings together such families of science as Anatexis, Shear zone and Geomorphology. His research in Metamorphism intersects with topics in Fission track dating and Paragenesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The generation, segregation, ascent and emplacement of granite magma: the migmatite-to-crustally-derived granite connection in thickened orogens (451 citations)
  • Metamorphic Conditions in Orogenic Belts: A Record of Secular Change (415 citations)
  • Duality of thermal regimes is the distinctive characteristic of plate tectonics since the Neoarchean (326 citations)

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

Michael Brown spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Migmatite and Petrology. Michael Brown interconnects Subduction, Eclogite and Granulite in the investigation of issues within Geochemistry. His Metamorphism research focuses on subjects like Plate tectonics, which are linked to Lithosphere.

His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metamorphic facies, Igneous rock and Monazite. The Migmatite study combines topics in areas such as Anatexis, Biotite and Pluton. His Petrology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Shear zone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (56.04%)
  • Metamorphism (34.78%)
  • Metamorphic rock (26.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (56.04%)
  • Subduction (15.46%)
  • Eclogite (14.01%)

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

Michael Brown mostly deals with Geochemistry, Subduction, Eclogite, Plate tectonics and Metamorphism. His Geochemistry research includes elements of Blueschist and Eastern china. His studies deal with areas such as Earth, Geophysics and Continental crust as well as Subduction.

The concepts of his Continental crust study are interwoven with issues in Lithosphere, Petrology and Archean. His Metamorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metamorphic rock, Earth science, Devonian and Pluton. His Crust study combines topics in areas such as Migmatite and Monazite.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Earth's first stable continents did not form by subduction (158 citations)
  • Secular change in metamorphism and the onset of global plate tectonics (148 citations)
  • Metamorphism and the evolution of plate tectonics (42 citations)
