What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Volcano
- Basalt
- Plate tectonics
Seismology, Rift, Ridge, Oceanic crust and Paleontology are his primary areas of study.
His work is connected to Transform fault, Plate tectonics and Subduction, as a part of Seismology.
Peter Lonsdale interconnects Rift valley, Hydrothermal circulation, Fault scarp and Magnetic anomaly in the investigation of issues within Rift.
Peter Lonsdale has researched Ridge in several fields, including Sand dune stabilization and Geomorphology.
His Oceanic crust research includes elements of Petrology, Lithosphere and Mid-ocean ridge.
His Paleontology research focuses on Tectonics in particular.
His most cited work include:
- Corals on seamount peaks provide evidence of current acceleration over deep-sea topography (322 citations)
- Structure and tectonic history of the Eastern Panama basin (314 citations)
- Clustering of suspension-feeding macrobenthos near abyssal hydrothermal vents at oceanic spreading centers (302 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Geomorphology, Paleontology, Rift and Seamount.
His research in Seismology intersects with topics in Ridge and Bathymetry.
Peter Lonsdale studied Geomorphology and Abyssal zone that intersect with Sedimentary depositional environment and Bottom water.
Peter Lonsdale focuses mostly in the field of Rift, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fault scarp and, in certain cases, Graben.
His studies in Seamount integrate themes in fields like Volcano and Basalt.
His research integrates issues of Guaymas Basin and Trough in his study of Geochemistry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (31.82%)
- Geomorphology (29.55%)
- Paleontology (27.27%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2017)?
- Seamount (18.18%)
- Paleontology (27.27%)
- Subduction (12.88%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Seamount, Paleontology, Subduction, Rift and Geochemistry are his primary areas of study.
The Seamount study combines topics in areas such as Lava, Volcano and Geophysics.
His Subduction research includes themes of Magmatism and Crust.
Peter Lonsdale combines subjects such as Pluvial, Glacial period, Interglacial, Rift valley and Guaymas Basin with his study of Rift.
As part of his studies on Geochemistry, he often connects relevant areas like Oceanic crust.
As a part of the same scientific family, Peter Lonsdale mostly works in the field of Seafloor spreading, focusing on Seismology and, on occasion, Terrain.
Between 2007 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Isotopic evidence for a hotspot origin of the Louisville Seamount Chain (69 citations)
- Late Oligocene to Middle Miocene rifting and synextensional magmatism in the southwestern Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico: The beginning of the Gulf of California rift (61 citations)
- New 40Ar/39Ar age progression for the Louisville hot spot trail and implications for inter–hot spot motion (52 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Volcano
- Basalt
- Oceanography
His main research concerns Seamount, Atoll, Oceanography, Paleontology and Pacific Plate.
His Seamount research incorporates elements of Lava, Intraplate earthquake and Geodesy.
Among his research on Atoll, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Hotspot and Chain.
His Paleontology study often links to related topics such as Geomorphology.
His Pacific Plate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mantle wedge, Oceanic trench, Oceanic crust, Geochemistry and Volcanic arc.
While the research belongs to areas of Volcanic arc, Peter Lonsdale spends his time largely on the problem of Crust, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Adakite, Late Miocene and Rift.
