What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Volcano
- Igneous rock
Michael R. Perfit spends much of his time researching Basalt, Geochemistry, Mid-ocean ridge, Mantle and Mineralogy.
In his study, Polybaric melting and Magma is strongly linked to Lava, which falls under the umbrella field of Basalt.
The concepts of his Mid-ocean ridge study are interwoven with issues in Seafloor spreading and Petrology.
Michael R. Perfit works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to concerns involving Mantle wedge and, occasionally, Mantle convection, Transition zone, Hotspot and Mantle plume.
His work in the fields of Volatiles overlaps with other areas such as Sulfur, Chlorine and Carbon dioxide.
As part of the same scientific family, Michael R. Perfit usually focuses on Partial melting, concentrating on Volcanic rock and intersecting with Igneous rock.
His most cited work include:
- Chemical characteristics of island-arc basalts: Implications for mantle sources (571 citations)
- Vapour undersaturation in primitive mid-ocean-ridge basalt and the volatile content of Earth's upper mantle (569 citations)
- Volcanic eruption of the mid-ocean ridge along the East Pacific Rise crest at 9°45-52'N: Direct submersible observations of seafloor phenomena associated with an eruption event in April, 1991 (404 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Michael R. Perfit mostly deals with Geochemistry, Basalt, Mid-ocean ridge, Lava and Mantle.
The various areas that he examines in his Geochemistry study include Ridge and Oceanic crust.
Michael R. Perfit interconnects Ridge, Igneous rock and Andesites in the investigation of issues within Basalt.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Mid-ocean ridge, Earth science are connected with Lithosphere and other disciplines.
His Lava study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seafloor spreading, Petrology, Geomorphology and Dense-rock equivalent.
His research integrates issues of Mantle wedge, Mineralogy, Olivine, Trace element and Transition zone in his study of Mantle.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (55.62%)
- Basalt (33.12%)
- Mid-ocean ridge (27.50%)
