Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mineral
  • Quartz
  • Igneous rock

Richard Wirth mostly deals with Mineralogy, Analytical chemistry, Geochemistry, Monazite and Diamond. The various areas that he examines in his Mineralogy study include Oil shale, Silicate, Kerogen, Quartz and Zircon. The concepts of his Analytical chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Kimberlite and Diopside.

His work on Mantle, Metasomatism, Metamorphic rock and Phlogopite as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Isotopic signature, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research in Monazite intersects with topics in Transmission electron microscopy, Metallurgy and Diffusion. His Diamond research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Millerite, Pentlandite, Volatiles, Electron diffraction and Hematite.

His most cited work include:

  • Focused Ion Beam (FIB) combined with SEM and TEM: Advanced analytical tools for studies of chemical composition, microstructure and crystal structure in geomaterials on a nanometre scale (373 citations)
  • Focused ion beam (FIB): A novel technology for advanced application of micro- and nanoanalysis in geosciences and applied mineralogy (355 citations)
  • Geochemical evolution of organic-rich shales with increasing maturity: A STXM and TEM study of the Posidonia Shale (Lower Toarcian, northern Germany) (283 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Analytical chemistry, Crystallography and Diamond. His study looks at the intersection of Mineralogy and topics like Grain boundary with Creep. His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Ophiolite, Carbonate and Mineral.

His Analytical chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transmission electron microscopy and Diffusion. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Amorphous solid and Focused ion beam. Richard Wirth studies Crystal structure which is a part of Crystallography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (45.52%)
  • Geochemistry (27.37%)
  • Analytical chemistry (18.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (27.37%)
  • Mineralogy (45.52%)
  • Mantle (8.18%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Mantle, Mineral and Crystallography. The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ophiolite and Carbonate. His Mineralogy study focuses on Electron microprobe in particular.

Richard Wirth has included themes like Amorphous solid, Microstructure and Chemical composition in his Mineral study. His work deals with themes such as Phase transition and Diamond, which intersect with Crystallography. His work focuses on many connections between Silicate and other disciplines, such as Analytical chemistry, that overlap with his field of interest in Transmission electron microscopy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Oil retention and porosity evolution in organic rich shales (68 citations)
  • Planktic foraminifera form their shells via metastable carbonate phases (38 citations)
  • Creep of Posidonia Shale at Elevated Pressure and Temperature (34 citations)

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

  • Mineral
  • Quartz
  • Igneous rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Carbonate, Mantle and Calcite. His Geochemistry research includes elements of Columbite and Mineral. His primary area of study in Mineralogy is in the field of Pressure solution.

He combines subjects such as Niobrara Formation, Marl, Shale oil, Petroleum and Kerogen with his study of Carbonate. His Mantle research incorporates elements of Ophiolite and Dolomite. His Calcite study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crystallography, Coccolith and Source rock.
