Overview

Rolando Armijo is affiliated with the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris in France and works across the interdisciplinary fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences as well as Medicine. Their research integrates multiple domains including geophysics, surgery, atmospheric science, earth-surface processes, and archeology.

Their recent scholarly publications reflect a diverse engagement with both geological and medical topics. Notable papers include:

  • Quaternary E-W Extension Uplifts Kythira Island and Segments the Hellenic Arc, 2022, published in Tectonics
  • Flexure in the Corinth rift: reconciling marine terraces, rivers, offshore data and fault modeling, 2020, published in HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)
  • The Impact of Medicaid Expansion on Intracranial Meningioma Incidence, 2025, published in Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B Skull Base

Rolando Armijo collaborates frequently with several co-authors, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach:

  • Gino de Gelder
  • David Fernández-Blanco
  • Robin Lacassin
  • Nazik Öğretmen
  • Spyros Liakopoulos

Their publication record includes contributions to diverse peer-reviewed venues such as Tectonics, HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe), Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B Skull Base, and The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.

The core topics addressed in Armijo's work encompass:

  • Earthquake and tectonic studies
  • Geological and geochemical analysis
  • Geology and paleoclimatology research
  • Geological formations and processes
  • Maritime and coastal archaeology
  • Meningioma and schwannoma management
  • Spinal fractures and fixation techniques

This range of topics illustrates the integration of geological sciences with clinical medical research, particularly concerning neurological surgery and spinal injuries. Their subfield expertise in geophysics and surgery is indicative of a cross-disciplinary trajectory connecting earth sciences and medical applications.
