Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Plate tectonics
Paleontology
Volcano

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Cretaceous, Geomagnetic reversal, Magnetic anomaly and Lineation. Much of his study explores Paleontology relationship to Oceanography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Continental drift, Subduction, Oceanic crust, Cenozoic and Rift.

His Subduction research incorporates elements of Seafloor spreading, Plate tectonics and Oceanic basin. His research investigates the connection between Oceanic crust and topics such as Upwelling that intersect with issues in Geophysics. His Magnetic anomaly study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Mesozoic.

His most cited work include:

Latest pulse of Earth: Evidence for a mid-Cretaceous superplume (730 citations)
Geological consequences of superplumes (514 citations)
Plate tectonic reconstructions of the Cretaceous and Cenozoic ocean basins (470 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Cretaceous, Seismology, Magnetic anomaly and Oceanic crust. His work carried out in the field of Cretaceous brings together such families of science as Volcano, Guyot and Atoll. His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ridge and Trough.

The various areas that Roger L. Larson examines in his Magnetic anomaly study include Lineation, Seafloor spreading and Anomaly. His research integrates issues of Geochemistry, Mantle, Crust, Hydrothermal circulation and Petrology in his study of Oceanic crust. His Plate tectonics study incorporates themes from Transform fault and Subduction, Pacific Plate.

He most often published in these fields:

Paleontology (58.90%)
Cretaceous (35.62%)
Seismology (27.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2013)?

Paleontology (58.90%)
Oceanic crust (24.66%)
Cretaceous (35.62%)

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

Roger L. Larson mostly deals with Paleontology, Oceanic crust, Cretaceous, Volcano and Crust. The Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Abundance. His Cretaceous study which covers Structural basin that intersects with Earth science.

His biological study deals with issues like Petrology, which deal with fields such as Deep sea and Hydrothermal circulation. The concepts of his Crust study are interwoven with issues in Lava, Basement and Seafloor spreading. Roger L. Larson has included themes like Subduction, Pacific Plate and Oceanic basin in his Seafloor spreading study.

Between 2002 and 2013, his most popular works were:

Valanginian Weissert oceanic anoxic event (169 citations)
Cretaceous volcanic sequences and Jurassic oceanic crust in the East Mariana and Pigafetta basins of the western Pacific (35 citations)
Jurassic dipole low defined from land and sea data (28 citations)

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

Plate tectonics
Volcano
Subduction

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cretaceous, Paleontology, Oceanic crust, Petrology and Pigafetta. His Cretaceous study combines topics in areas such as Plateau and Tectonics, Rift. His Paleontology research integrates issues from Oceanography, Anoxic waters and Isotopes of oxygen.

His studies link Volcano with Oceanic crust.
