- Plate tectonics
- Basalt
Mike Sandiford spends much of his time researching Lithosphere, Crust, Seismology, Geochemistry and Continental crust.
His research integrates issues of Denudation, Deformation and Geophysics in his study of Lithosphere.
He has researched Crust in several fields, including Metamorphism and Mantle.
Mike Sandiford combines subjects such as Metamorphic rock, Thermal subsidence and Orogeny with his study of Metamorphism.
In the field of Seismology, his study on Intraplate earthquake, Fault, Subduction and Induced seismicity overlaps with subjects such as Stress field.
His Geochemistry research includes elements of Fold and Proterozoic.
His most cited work include:
- Deep crustal metamorphism during continental extension: modern and ancient examples (343 citations)
- Some geodynamic and compositional constraints on postorogenic magmatism (196 citations)
- Asymmetric extension associated with uplift and subsidence in the Transantarctic Mountains and Ross Embayment (166 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Mike Sandiford mainly investigates Geochemistry, Lithosphere, Metamorphism, Seismology and Paleontology.
Many of his studies on Geochemistry apply to Proterozoic as well.
His work deals with themes such as Geophysics, Mantle, Crust, Petrology and Continental margin, which intersect with Lithosphere.
His research in Crust is mostly focused on Continental crust.
His work carried out in the field of Metamorphism brings together such families of science as Metamorphic rock, Fold, Granulite, Metamorphic facies and Terrane.
The Metamorphic rock study combines topics in areas such as Shear zone and Biotite, Hornblende.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (27.14%)
- Lithosphere (22.86%)
- Metamorphism (20.95%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?
- Paleontology (18.57%)
- Seismology (19.52%)
- Induced seismicity (6.67%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Seismology, Induced seismicity, Slab and Geochemistry.
His work in Paleontology tackles topics such as Plateau which are related to areas like Global climate and Batholith.
His work in the fields of Intraplate earthquake, Seismic gap and Plate tectonics overlaps with other areas such as Edge.
His Intraplate earthquake study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Tectonics.
His Induced seismicity study also includes
- Bending which intersects with area such as Deformation,
- Fault which connect with Groundwater, Groundwater flow and Geomorphology.
His work on Archean and Continental crust as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Heat flow, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Lifespan of mountain ranges scaled by feedbacks between landsliding and erosion by rivers (80 citations)
- Retrospective modeling of the merit-order effect on wholesale electricity prices from distributed photovoltaic generation in the Australian National Electricity Market (67 citations)
- Climatic variability in Central Indian Himalaya during the last ∼1800 years: Evidence from a high resolution speleothem record (62 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Basalt
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Seismology, Provenance, Zircon and Seismic gap.
His research in Seismology intersects with topics in Stalagmite and Cave.
His Geochronology study combines topics in areas such as Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock, Isotopes of argon and Hornblende.
His Plate tectonics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Intraplate earthquake, Passive margin, Inversion and Continental margin.
His Intraplate earthquake study is focused on Tectonics in general.
His Terrane research incorporates elements of Felsic, Igneous rock, Crust, Pilbara Craton and Archean.
