Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Volcano

Pamela D. Kempton mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Subduction and Mantle plume. Her research on Geochemistry often connects related topics like Earth science. Her Mantle research includes themes of Mantle wedge and Transition zone.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volcanic arc, Hotspot and Oceanic crust. Basin and range topography, Xenolith, Trace element and Provenance is closely connected to Crust in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Subduction. In her work, Peridotite is strongly intertwined with Asthenosphere, which is a subfield of Mantle plume.

Her most cited work include:

  • High precision Hf isotope measurements of MORB and OIB by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry: insights into the depleted mantle (561 citations)
  • Hf-Nd Element and Isotope Perspective on the Nature and Provenance of Mantle and Subduction Components in Western Pacific Arc-Basin Systems (333 citations)
  • The Role of Lithospheric Mantle in the Generation of Late Cenozoic Basic Magmas in the Western United States (317 citations)

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

Pamela D. Kempton mainly investigates Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Mafic and Igneous rock. Pamela D. Kempton has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Mantle plume and Petrology. Her studies deal with areas such as Flood basalt, Table, Oceanic plateau, Continental crust and Iceland plume as well as Basalt.

Her Mantle research integrates issues from Subduction, Mantle wedge, Asthenosphere, Transition zone and Hotspot. Her work carried out in the field of Mafic brings together such families of science as Petrogenesis, Anatexis, Mineralogy and Silicic. Pamela D. Kempton works mostly in the field of Igneous rock, limiting it down to topics relating to Volcanic rock and, in certain cases, Island arc.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (79.27%)
  • Basalt (47.56%)
  • Mantle (39.02%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2001-2013)?

  • Geochemistry (79.27%)
  • Mantle (39.02%)
  • Basalt (47.56%)

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

Pamela D. Kempton spends much of her time researching Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Mafic and Subduction. Her Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Mantle wedge, Oceanic plateau, Oceanic crust, Petrology and Mantle plume. Her Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Oceanography, Lithosphere, Igneous rock and Hotspot.

In most of her Basalt studies, her work intersects topics such as Lava. Her research integrates issues of Xenolith, Lile and Crust in her study of Mafic. Her Subduction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Volcano and Earth science.

Between 2001 and 2013, her most popular works were:

  • Does depleted mantle form an intrinsic part of the Iceland plume (247 citations)
  • Hf Isotope Systematics of Kimberlites and their Megacrysts: New Constraints on their Source Regions (229 citations)
  • Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf Isotope Results from ODP Leg 187: Evidence for Mantle Dynamics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance and Origin of the Indian MORB Source (179 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Volcano

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Basalt, Mantle, Subduction and Lithosphere. As a part of the same scientific study, Pamela D. Kempton usually deals with the Basalt, concentrating on Oceanic crust and frequently concerns with Earth science and Fracture zone. The Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Slab, Mantle plume, Oceanography and Hotspot.

Her Hotspot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mantle wedge and Transition zone. Her Incompatible element research incorporates elements of Rift zone, Iceland plume, Mid-ocean ridge and Radiogenic nuclide. Her Petrogenesis study incorporates themes from Xenolith, Mafic and Flood basalt.
