1947 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Volcano
  • Basalt

Robert P. Lowell mainly investigates Hydrothermal circulation, Mid-ocean ridge, Petrology, Geophysics and Seafloor spreading. His Hydrothermal circulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Magma chamber and Mineralogy. His Mid-ocean ridge research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dike and Permeability.

His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Heat transfer, Heat flux and Ridge. The Heat transfer study combines topics in areas such as Tectonics and Convection. His work is dedicated to discovering how Seafloor spreading, Earth science are connected with Volcanic rock, Geochemistry and Gabbro and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Seafloor hydrothermal systems (228 citations)
  • Silica precipitation in fractures and the evolution of permeability in hydrothermal upflow zones. (140 citations)
  • Seafloor hydrothermal systems driven by the serpentinization of peridotite (105 citations)

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

Robert P. Lowell focuses on Hydrothermal circulation, Petrology, Mid-ocean ridge, Mineralogy and Seafloor spreading. His work carried out in the field of Hydrothermal circulation brings together such families of science as Geophysics, Permeability, Heat flux, Geochemistry and Magma. His Petrology research incorporates themes from Convection, Crust, Rift, Magma chamber and Ridge.

His biological study deals with issues like Seawater, which deal with fields such as Temperature salinity diagrams. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mechanics and Quartz. Robert P. Lowell combines subjects such as Plume, Earth science and Plate tectonics with his study of Seafloor spreading.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrothermal circulation (60.87%)
  • Petrology (33.33%)
  • Mid-ocean ridge (26.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Hydrothermal circulation (60.87%)
  • Petrology (33.33%)
  • Mid-ocean ridge (26.81%)

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

His main research concerns Hydrothermal circulation, Petrology, Mid-ocean ridge, Mineralogy and Geophysics. His Hydrothermal circulation research integrates issues from Permeability, Seafloor spreading, Magma and Heat flux. His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Heat transfer, Tectonics, Rift and Ridge.

His study in Mid-ocean ridge is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oceanography, Magma chamber and Crust. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Ridge and Ultramafic rock. The study incorporates disciplines such as Two-phase flow, Boundary layer, Dike, Plume and Fluid dynamics in addition to Geophysics.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Hydrothermal processes at mid-ocean ridges: Results from scale analysis and single-pass models (48 citations)
  • Characteristics of magma-driven hydrothermal systems at oceanic spreading centers (42 citations)
  • Diffuse Flow On and Around Hydrothermal Vents at Mid-Ocean Ridges (38 citations)
