Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Seismology and Paleontology. His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ophiolite, Eclogite and Sillimanite. His Metamorphism research includes themes of Nappe, Anatexis, Shear zone and Island arc.

His study looks at the intersection of Metamorphic rock and topics like Geomorphology with Sedimentary rock. Michael P. Searle focuses mostly in the field of Seismology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Crust and, in certain cases, Mantle, Batholith and Continental collision. He interconnects Quaternary and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Tectonics.

His most cited work include:

  • The closing of Tethys and the tectonics of the Himalaya (561 citations)
  • Tectonic evolution of the central Annapurna Range, Nepalese Himalayas (425 citations)
  • The Oman Ophiolite as a Cretaceous Arc-Basin Complex: Evidence and Implications (393 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Ophiolite, Paleontology and Metamorphic rock. His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Subduction and Geomorphology. His work carried out in the field of Metamorphism brings together such families of science as Eclogite, Batholith, Shear zone, Anatexis and Terrane.

Michael P. Searle has included themes like Petrology and Main Central Thrust in his Shear zone study. His Ophiolite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Semail Ophiolite, Obduction, Oceanic crust, Continental margin and Island arc. His research in Metamorphic rock is mostly concerned with Gneiss.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (52.66%)
  • Metamorphism (25.08%)
  • Ophiolite (23.20%)

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

  • Geochemistry (52.66%)
  • Ophiolite (23.20%)
  • Paleontology (21.00%)

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

Michael P. Searle mostly deals with Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Paleontology, Tectonics and Subduction. His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Semail Ophiolite and Magmatism. The concepts of his Ophiolite study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin, Pillow lava, Peridotite and Oceanic crust.

His research investigates the link between Subduction and topics such as Petrology that cross with problems in Dome, Continental collision and Mantle wedge. His work focuses on many connections between Metamorphic rock and other disciplines, such as Suture, that overlap with his field of interest in Terrane. His work in Obduction tackles topics such as Geomorphology which are related to areas like Plate tectonics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evidence for melting mud in Earth's mantle from extreme oxygen isotope signatures in zircon (42 citations)
  • The crustal architecture of Myanmar imaged through zircon U-Pb, Lu-Hf and O isotopes: Tectonic and metallogenic implications (34 citations)
  • Chapter 12 Tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Mogok Metamorphic and Jade Mines belts and ophiolitic terranes of Burma (Myanmar) (33 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics

Michael P. Searle focuses on Geochemistry, Tectonics, Ophiolite, Paleontology and Metamorphism. His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Magmatism. His Tectonics study contributes to a more complete understanding of Seismology.

His research in Paleontology intersects with topics in Peninsula and World War II. He works mostly in the field of Metamorphism, limiting it down to topics relating to Orogeny and, in certain cases, Cretaceous, Sedimentary rock, Paleogene, Gondwana and Molasse. Michael P. Searle studied Metamorphic rock and Suture that intersect with Terrane.
