What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
His main research concerns Ophiolite, Geochemistry, Gabbro, Petrology and Paleontology.
His Ophiolite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subduction, Oceanic crust, Continental margin and Cretaceous.
He regularly links together related areas like Continental collision in his Geochemistry studies.
His work deals with themes such as Cumulate rock, Mafic, Olivine and Ultramafic rock, which intersect with Gabbro.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Basalt and Island arc.
His Tectonics, Gondwana and Seamount study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Neogene, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His most cited work include:
- The Berit transect of the Tauride thrust belt, S Turkey: Late Cretaceous–Early Cenozoic accretionary/collisional processes related to closure of the Southern Neotethys (133 citations)
- Overview of the Palaeozoic–Neogene evolution of Neotethys in the Eastern Mediterranean region (southern Turkey, Cyprus, Syria) (126 citations)
- Precise 40Ar/39Ar ages from the metamorphic sole of the Mersin ophiolite (southern Turkey) (118 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Petrology, Subduction and Mafic.
His work focuses on many connections between Geochemistry and other disciplines, such as Island arc, that overlap with his field of interest in Volcanic arc.
The various areas that Osman Parlak examines in his Ophiolite study include Cretaceous, Ultramafic rock, Gabbro, Continental margin and Oceanic crust.
His Gabbro research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cumulate rock, Diorite and Olivine.
Osman Parlak has researched Subduction in several fields, including Massif and Passive margin.
His Metamorphic rock research includes elements of Obduction and Geochronology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (72.32%)
- Ophiolite (71.43%)
- Petrology (30.36%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Geochemistry (72.32%)
- Ophiolite (71.43%)
- Metamorphic rock (16.96%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Metamorphic rock, Subduction and Mafic are his primary areas of study.
His research integrates issues of Mineralization and Bornite in his study of Geochemistry.
While the research belongs to areas of Ophiolite, Osman Parlak spends his time largely on the problem of Mantle, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Mantle wedge.
The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Greenschist, Magmatism and Continental crust.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cumulate rock, Geochronology, Gabbro and Pyrite.
In his study, Massif is strongly linked to Olivine, which falls under the umbrella field of Petrology.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Petrology of ultramafic to mafic cumulate rocks from the Göksun (Kahramanmaraş) ophiolite, southeast Turkey (9 citations)
- Petrology of ultramafic to mafic cumulate rocks from the Göksun (Kahramanmaraş) ophiolite, southeast Turkey (9 citations)
- Rapid cooling history of a Neotethyan ophiolite: Evidence for contemporaneous subduction initiation and metamorphic sole formation (6 citations)
