What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
- Volcano
Olav Eldholm mostly deals with Continental margin, Paleontology, Rift, Plateau and Earth science.
The various areas that he examines in his Continental margin study include Seafloor spreading, Volcanic passive margin, Oceanic crust and Continental crust.
Olav Eldholm has included themes like Mantle plume and Plate tectonics in his Oceanic crust study.
His work carried out in the field of Paleontology brings together such families of science as Seabed and Geomorphology.
His Rift research includes themes of Oceanography and Cenozoic.
His studies deal with areas such as Flood basalt and Igneous rock as well as Earth science.
His most cited work include:
- Large igneous provinces: crustal structure, dimensions, and external consequences (1102 citations)
- Evolution of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea (660 citations)
- Structure and evolution of the continental margin off Norway and the Barents Sea (316 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Continental margin, Oceanography, Oceanic crust and Seismology.
His research on Paleontology often connects related areas such as Geomorphology.
He combines subjects such as Flood basalt, Fracture zone, Plate tectonics, Continental crust and Basement with his study of Continental margin.
His Flood basalt research incorporates themes from Geochemistry and Mantle plume.
The concepts of his Oceanic crust study are interwoven with issues in Volcanic rock and Crust.
His Volcanism study, which is part of a larger body of work in Seismology, is frequently linked to Breakup, bridging the gap between disciplines.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (44.74%)
- Continental margin (38.16%)
- Oceanography (22.37%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?
- Paleontology (44.74%)
- Oceanography (22.37%)
- Continental margin (38.16%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Paleontology, Oceanography, Continental margin, Drilling and Crust.
When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, his work on Cretaceous, Passive margin and Rift is frequently linked to work in Breakup, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His work deals with themes such as Sediment, Geomorphology, Scientific drilling and Oceanic basin, which intersect with Continental margin.
His research investigates the connection with Drilling and areas like Deep sea which intersect with concerns in Plate tectonics.
His research integrates issues of Magmatism, Basement, Igneous rock and Oceanic crust in his study of Crust.
In his research on the topic of Igneous rock, Flood basalt, Earth science and Geochemistry is strongly related with Seafloor spreading.
Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Structure and evolution of the continental margin off Norway and the Barents Sea (316 citations)
- Recurrent Pleistocene mega-failures on the SW Barents Sea margin (78 citations)
- Crustal structure of the Lofoten Vesterålen continental margin, off Norway (65 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Oceanography
- Volcano
His primary scientific interests are in Continental margin, Paleontology, Crust, Passive margin and Geomorphology.
His research on Continental margin concerns the broader Seismology.
Many of his research projects under Paleontology are closely connected to Pore water pressure with Pore water pressure, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His study in Crust is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Igneous rock, Basement, Magmatism, Oceanic crust and Mantle plume.
He interconnects Flood basalt, Earth science, Geochemistry, Mantle and Seafloor spreading in the investigation of issues within Magmatism.
His Passive margin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geodynamics and Cretaceous.
