Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Volcano
  • Plate tectonics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seismology, Geochemistry, Structural basin, Metamorphic rock and Paleontology. Much of his study explores Seismology relationship to Neogene. His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Mica, Glaucophane and Omphacite.

His Structural basin study incorporates themes from Tectonics and Magmatism. His work deals with themes such as Shear, Doming and Mylonite, which intersect with Metamorphic rock. His Petrology research incorporates themes from Lineation, Basin and range topography, Volcanic rock and Décollement.

His most cited work include:

  • New constraints on the pyroclastic eruptive history of the Campanian volcanic Plain (Italy) (561 citations)
  • Synextensional magmatism in the Basin and Range Province; A case study from the eastern Great Basin (290 citations)
  • An open‐system, two‐layer crustal stretching model for the Eastern Great Basin (262 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Seismology, Geomorphology and Cretaceous. His study in Tectonics, Cenozoic, Subduction, Volcanic rock and Crust is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology. As a part of the same scientific family, Phillip B. Gans mostly works in the field of Crust, focusing on Basin and range topography and, on occasion, Basin and Range Province and Tilted block faulting.

His work on Metamorphic core complex, Décollement and Detachment fault as part of general Seismology study is frequently linked to Brittleness, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Range, Shear zone and Magmatism in addition to Geomorphology. The various areas that Phillip B. Gans examines in his Cretaceous study include Igneous rock and Deformation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (42.86%)
  • Geochemistry (30.16%)
  • Seismology (25.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Paleontology (42.86%)
  • Volcanism (11.11%)
  • Geochemistry (30.16%)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Volcanism, Geochemistry, Metamorphic core complex and Geomorphology. His study in Geochronology, Volcano, Range, Cretaceous and Cenozoic are all subfields of Paleontology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Geochemistry, Magmatism is strongly linked to Extensional definition.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dike and Petrology. Phillip B. Gans has included themes like Seismology, Tectonophysics and Detachment fault in his Dike study. His studies deal with areas such as Tilted block faulting, Fault and Tectonic uplift as well as Petrology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regional volcanism of northern Zealandia: post-Gondwana break-up magmatism on an extended, submerged continent (25 citations)
  • Late Cretaceous oceanic plate reorganization and the breakup of Zealandia and Gondwana (21 citations)
  • Late Cretaceous to Miocene volcanism, sedimentation, and upper-crustal faulting and folding in the Principal Cordillera, central Chile: Field and geochronological evidence for protracted arc volcanism and transpressive deformation (13 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Volcano
  • Plate tectonics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Cretaceous, Gondwana, Oceanic crust and Arc. His study brings together the fields of Geomorphology and Paleontology. His Geomorphology study incorporates themes from Seafloor spreading, Magmatism, Seamount and Volcanic rock.

As part of his studies on Seamount, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Subduction. His study of Arc brings together topics like Deformation, Sedimentation and Volcanism. His Plateau research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Intraplate earthquake, Lava, Igneous rock and Trough.
