Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Geophysics
  • Geometry

Mantle, Convection, Thermal, Mantle convection and Planet are her primary areas of study. Her Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Exoplanet and Crust. Her Convection research incorporates elements of Discretization, Viscosity, Classical mechanics and Nusselt number.

Nicola Tosi interconnects Thermal conduction, Convective heat transfer, Outgassing and Transition zone in the investigation of issues within Thermal. Her Mantle convection study incorporates themes from Iron planet, Thermal conductivity, Planetary system and Astrophysics. She has included themes like Astrobiology and Bar in her Planet study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Asymmetric thermal evolution of the Moon (123 citations)
  • Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars (87 citations)
  • Thermochemical evolution of Mercury's interior (78 citations)

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

Nicola Tosi mainly investigates Mantle, Geophysics, Mantle convection, Astrobiology and Thermal. Her research integrates issues of Martian, Planet, Convection and Transition zone in her study of Mantle. Her Geophysics research includes themes of Lithosphere and Mars Exploration Program.

Earth's internal heat budget is closely connected to Heat flux in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mantle convection. Nicola Tosi has researched Astrobiology in several fields, including Atmosphere, Terrestrial planet, Outgassing and Habitability. Her Thermal study combines topics in areas such as Thermal conduction and Boundary layer.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mantle (64.45%)
  • Geophysics (40.28%)
  • Mantle convection (36.02%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Mantle (64.45%)
  • Planet (26.07%)
  • Astrobiology (29.38%)

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

Nicola Tosi mostly deals with Mantle, Planet, Astrobiology, Mechanics and Exoplanet. Her Mantle study is related to the wider topic of Geophysics. Her studies deal with areas such as Planetary science and Solar System as well as Planet.

Her work on Convection as part of general Mechanics study is frequently linked to Diffusion, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stagnant lid, Earth and Heat flow. Her Thermal history of the Earth study in the realm of Mantle convection connects with subjects such as Dynamo theory.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Constraining the early evolution of Venus and Earth through atmospheric Ar, Ne isotope and bulk K/U ratios (28 citations)
  • A long-lived magma ocean on a young Moon. (10 citations)
  • A long-lived magma ocean on a young Moon. (10 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Geometry
  • Geophysics

Nicola Tosi focuses on Astrobiology, Planet, Billion years, Planetary science and Exoplanet. The concepts of her Astrobiology study are interwoven with issues in Convection and Partial melting, Crust. Her Planet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Love number and Geometry.

Her study in Planetary science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Terrestrial planet, Abiogenesis and Plate tectonics. The Exoplanet study combines topics in areas such as Radius, Low Mass and Mantle. Her studies in Early Earth integrate themes in fields like Accretion, Atmosphere, Formation and evolution of the Solar System, Hydrodynamic escape and Astrophysics.
