His primary areas of study are Seismology, Tectonics, Lithosphere, Slip and Paleontology. As part of his studies on Seismology, Peter Molnar frequently links adjacent subjects like Crust. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stress field and Clockwise.
His Lithosphere study combines topics in areas such as Subduction, Mechanics and Mantle. His studies in Slip integrate themes in fields like Geodesy, Geometry, Upper crust, Earthquake prediction and Mountain formation. His research integrates issues of Isotopic composition, Isotopes of oxygen and Andean plateau in his study of Paleontology.
Peter Molnar mainly investigates Seismology, Lithosphere, Hydrology, Tectonics and Mantle. His Seismology research includes elements of Slip and Crust. His work in the fields of Lithosphere, such as Asthenosphere, overlaps with other areas such as Gravity anomaly.
In his research, Structural basin is intimately related to Sediment, which falls under the overarching field of Hydrology. The subject of his Tectonics research is within the realm of Paleontology. His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geodynamics and Downwelling.
Peter Molnar spends much of his time researching Hydrology, Precipitation, Climatology, Climate change and Drainage basin. His research investigates the connection with Hydrology and areas like Sediment which intersect with concerns in Structural basin and Erosion. His Structural basin study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Seismology.
His Precipitation research also works with subjects such as
His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Hydrology, Precipitation, Climatology and Drainage basin. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Atmospheric sciences and Physical geography. His work carried out in the field of Hydrology brings together such families of science as Sediment, Ecosystem and Spatial variability.
His Precipitation study results in a more complete grasp of Meteorology. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Oceanography and Holocene. His Drainage basin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Structural basin and Drainage.
