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.
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.
Geophysics, Mantle, Mantle convection, Petrology and Convection are his primary areas of study. His Geophysics research includes elements of Tectonics, Planet, Earth and Dynamics. His Mantle research integrates issues from Subduction, Oceanic crust, Terrestrial planet and Venus.
His research in Mantle convection focuses on subjects like Plate tectonics, which are connected to Lithosphere. His work deals with themes such as Magma ocean, Crust and Magma, which intersect with Petrology. His Convection study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Thermal and Spherical geometry.
