Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Volcano
  • Geophysics

His primary areas of investigation include Lithosphere, Crust, Geophysics, Asthenosphere and Rift. Paul Morgan works mostly in the field of Lithosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to Heat transfer and, in certain cases, Plate tectonics, as a part of the same area of interest. The Crust study combines topics in areas such as Seismic refraction, Mantle and Basin and Range Province.

Paul Morgan interconnects Primitive mantle, Proterozoic and Archean in the investigation of issues within Mantle. His research in Asthenosphere intersects with topics in Continental crust and Collision zone. His Rift study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Graben and Earth crust.

His most cited work include:

  • The density structure of subcontinental lithosphere through time (340 citations)
  • Continental extension, magmatism and elevation; formal relations and rules of thumb (267 citations)
  • Are Lithospheres Forever? Tracking Changes in Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle Through Time (267 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geophysics, Lithosphere, Rift, Crust and Geothermal gradient. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Magmatism, Gravity, Heat transfer and Venus. His research integrates issues of Petrology and Geomorphology in his study of Lithosphere.

The concepts of his Crust study are interwoven with issues in Terrane, Mantle and Basin and Range Province. His Basin and Range Province study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seismic refraction and Basin and range topography. His research in Geothermal gradient intersects with topics in Heat flow, Temperature gradient, Earth science and Groundwater.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (33.59%)
  • Lithosphere (32.81%)
  • Rift (25.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (11.72%)
  • Geothermal gradient (22.66%)
  • Geophysics (33.59%)

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

Mars Exploration Program, Geothermal gradient, Geophysics, Heat flow and Earth science are his primary areas of study. His Geophysics research integrates issues from Impact crater, Seismometer and Planetary science. His studies deal with areas such as Mechanics, Petrology and Rift zone as well as Heat flow.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volcano, Geothermal energy, Enhanced geothermal system, Volcanism and Rift. His Rift research incorporates elements of Geochemistry, Isotopes of oxygen, Mantle, Crust and Archaeology. His work carried out in the field of Crust brings together such families of science as Tectonics, Radiogenic nuclide and USArray.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Rio Grande Rift in Southern New Mexico, West Texas, and Northern Chihuahua (81 citations)
  • Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars (77 citations)
  • Heat Flow in Rift Zones (77 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Volcano
  • Thermodynamics

Paul Morgan mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Geophysics, Seismometer, Rift and Petrology. Paul Morgan has researched Mars Exploration Program in several fields, including Temperature measurement and Thermal conductivity measurement. Paul Morgan does research in Geophysics, focusing on Mantle specifically.

His Seismometer study incorporates themes from Intraplate earthquake, Seismic wave and Regolith. The study incorporates disciplines such as Earth science, Crust, Magnetic anomaly, Volcanism and Archaeology in addition to Rift. His study in Petrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seismology, Heat flow, Lithosphere and Rift zone.
