Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Jupiter
  • Volcano

Paul Geissler focuses on Jupiter, Tectonics, Astrobiology, Impact crater and Geophysics. His Jupiter study combines topics in areas such as Natural satellite, Mechanics, Mineralogy and Crust. His work on Lineament as part of general Tectonics research is often related to Field, thus linking different fields of science.

His Astrobiology research incorporates elements of Volcanism, Astronomy and Stratosphere. The various areas that he examines in his Volcanism study include Lava, Volcano and Caldera. His Geophysics research focuses on subjects like Satellite, which are linked to Partial melting, Voyager program and Iceberg.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for a subsurface ocean on Europa (392 citations)
  • Cassini imaging of Jupiter's atmosphere, satellites, and rings. (387 citations)
  • Does Europa have a subsurface ocean? Evaluation of the geological evidence (308 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Astrobiology, Volcano, Jupiter, Tectonics and Volcanism. His Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Galilean moons, Galileo spacecraft, Galileo and Spectrometer. Paul Geissler has included themes like Galileo, Astronomy and Plume in his Volcano study.

His research integrates issues of Solar System, Satellite, Natural satellite and Geophysics in his study of Jupiter. He has researched Tectonics in several fields, including Crust, Impact crater and Geodesy. His work deals with themes such as Lava, Wall rock, Mafic, Geochemistry and Volcanology, which intersect with Volcanism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (32.22%)
  • Volcano (25.56%)
  • Jupiter (25.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2016)?

  • Tectonics (23.33%)
  • Jupiter (25.56%)
  • Geodesy (14.44%)

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

Paul Geissler focuses on Tectonics, Jupiter, Geodesy, Volcano and Astrobiology. His study in the field of Lineament and Volcanism is also linked to topics like Cycloid. Paul Geissler is involved in the study of Jupiter that focuses on Jovian in particular.

His Jovian study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Natural satellite and Stratosphere. His studies examine the connections between Volcano and genetics, as well as such issues in Plume, with regards to Astronomy. Paul Geissler conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Astrobiology and Giant planet.

Between 2001 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Cassini imaging of Jupiter's atmosphere, satellites, and rings. (387 citations)
  • A melt-through model for chaos formation on Europa (103 citations)
  • Surface changes on Io during the Galileo mission (66 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Volcano
  • Solar System

Paul Geissler mostly deals with Crust, Tectonics, Geophysics, Astrobiology and Cycloid. The Crust study combines topics in areas such as Geodesy, True polar wander, Compression and Strike-slip tectonics, Fault. In his works, Paul Geissler performs multidisciplinary study on Tectonics and Polar wander.

His Geophysics research includes themes of Volcanism, Convection and Orders of magnitude. His Astrobiology research incorporates themes from Radius, Astronomy, Explosive eruption and Plume. Cycloid is intertwined with Slush, Tidal heating, Lineament and Shear in his research.
