What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Samuel B. Mukasa mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Zircon and Subduction.
Many of his studies on Geochemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Petrology.
The Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Tectonics, Rift, Lithosphere and Trace element.
His Basalt study also includes fields such as
- Asthenosphere together with Ocean island basalt,
- Hotspot and related Melt inclusions.
Samuel B. Mukasa interconnects Metamorphic rock, Igneous rock, Proterozoic, Basement and Pluton in the investigation of issues within Zircon.
His Peridotite research includes themes of Massif, Metasomatism, Mantle wedge and Ultramafic rock.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (77.93%)
- Mantle (28.97%)
- Basalt (24.83%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?
- Geochemistry (77.93%)
- Mantle (28.97%)
- Basalt (24.83%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Crust and Rift.
His Geochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Intraplate earthquake, Subduction and Large igneous province.
Samuel B. Mukasa combines subjects such as Diapir, Lithosphere and Plutonism with his study of Subduction.
Samuel B. Mukasa focuses mostly in the field of Mantle, narrowing it down to topics relating to Flux melting and, in certain cases, Passive margin, Asthenosphere, Peridotite and Lava.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Crust, Proterozoic, Roof pendant, Dike, Batholith and Magma is strongly linked to Petrogenesis.
His Igneous rock research incorporates themes from Felsic, Dharwar Craton, Petrology, Gneiss and Archean.
Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- A Garnet–Zircon Oxygen Isotope Record of Subduction and Exhumation Fluids from the Franciscan Complex, California (32 citations)
- New constraints on the early formation of the Western Dharwar Craton (India) from igneous zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes (31 citations)
- New constraints on the early formation of the Western Dharwar Craton (India) from igneous zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes (31 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Volcano
Samuel B. Mukasa spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Zircon, Metasomatism, Mantle and Melt inclusions.
The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Eclogite and Petrology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Igneous rock, Continental crust, Crust, Dharwar Craton and Archean in addition to Zircon.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Metamorphic rock, Ocean island basalt, Trace element, East African Rift and Gondwana.
His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Siberian Traps, Mineralogy, Olivine and Volcanic rock.
His Melt inclusions study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mantle plume, Subduction and Large igneous province.
