Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geophysics
  • Plate tectonics
  • Astronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Mantle, Mantle convection, Geophysics, Plate tectonics and Lithosphere. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phase transition, Convection, Planet, Mineralogy and Internal heating. He has included themes like Mechanics, Transition zone, Convective heat transfer and Spherical shell in his Mantle convection study.

His Geophysics research incorporates themes from Plume, Mantle wedge and Boundary layer. His study in Plate tectonics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Yield and Transform fault. His Lithosphere research includes themes of Subduction and Crust.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of an endothermic phase transition at 670 km depth in a spherical model of convection in the Earth's mantle (518 citations)
  • Mantle Convection and Plate Tectonics: Toward an Integrated Physical and Chemical Theory (337 citations)
  • A doubling of the post-perovskite phase boundary and structure of the Earth's lowermost mantle (296 citations)

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

Paul J. Tackley focuses on Geophysics, Mantle, Mantle convection, Convection and Plate tectonics. His work in Geophysics covers topics such as Subduction which are related to areas like Slab and Geometry. His Mantle research focuses on Venus and how it connects with Atmospheric escape.

His studies deal with areas such as Post-perovskite, Convective heat transfer, Hotspot and Crust as well as Mantle convection. His Convection study combines topics in areas such as Phase transition and Heat transfer, Heat flux. In his research, Solar System is intimately related to Planet, which falls under the overarching field of Plate tectonics.
