What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Igneous rock
- Metamorphic rock
Petrology, Geomorphology, Shear zone, Nappe and Mylonite are his primary areas of study.
His work deals with themes such as Geophysics, Crust, Structural geology and Open-channel flow, which intersect with Petrology.
His Geomorphology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleontology and Main Central Thrust.
His Shear zone research focuses on Gneiss and how it relates to Thin section and Pure shear.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Shear, Simple shear, Lineation and Mineralogy.
His research investigates the link between Shear and topics such as Tectonics that cross with problems in Volcano.
His most cited work include:
- Channel flow, ductile extrusion and exhumation in continental collision zones: an introduction (321 citations)
- Strain, deformation temperatures and vorticity of flow at the top of the Greater Himalayan Slab, Everest Massif, Tibet (298 citations)
- The structural geometry, metamorphic and magmatic evolution of the Everest massif, High Himalaya of Nepal-South Tibet (274 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Petrology, Geomorphology, Quartz and Shear zone.
His studies deal with areas such as Seismology, Nappe, Tectonics, Pluton and Crust as well as Petrology.
In his study, Foreland basin is strongly linked to Main Central Thrust, which falls under the umbrella field of Geomorphology.
His study in Quartz is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Texture, Mineralogy and Deformation.
His study in Shear extends to Shear zone with its themes.
His Mylonite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lineation and Tectonite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (25.98%)
- Petrology (25.98%)
- Geomorphology (22.83%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Geochemistry (25.98%)
- Petrology (25.98%)
- Metamorphic rock (16.54%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard D. Law mostly deals with Geochemistry, Petrology, Metamorphic rock, Monazite and Metamorphism.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Fault, Mountain formation and Dynamic recrystallization.
His Petrology research incorporates themes from Foreland basin, Hardening and Pluton.
His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Grain boundary and Terrane.
His work in Terrane tackles topics such as Northern Highlands which are related to areas like Crust.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Metamorphism, focusing on Nappe and, on occasion, Table.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A new technique for quantifying symmetry and opening angles in quartz c-axis pole figures: Implications for interpreting the kinematic and thermal properties of rocks (14 citations)
- Infiltration of meteoric water in the South Tibetan Detachment (Mount Everest, Himalaya): When and why? (13 citations)
- Thermobarometry of the Moine and Sgurr Beag thrust sheets, northern Scotland (9 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Metamorphic rock
- Igneous rock
His primary areas of study are Thermal, Kinematics, Geochemistry, Nappe and Metamorphic rock.
Displacement, Transient, Geomorphology, Shear zone and Sample collection are fields of study that intersect with his Thermal research.
His work in Kinematics incorporates the disciplines of Pole figure, Coaxial, Maxima, Main Central Thrust and Line.
The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Transpression and Deformation.
His studies in Nappe integrate themes in fields like Foreland basin, Metamorphism, Northern Highlands, Precambrian and Terrane.
To a larger extent, Richard D. Law studies Petrology with the aim of understanding Metamorphic rock.
