Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Volcano

Silvio Mollo mainly investigates Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Carbonate, Analytical chemistry and Crystallization. His Mineralogy research incorporates elements of Lava, Thermometer, Trachyte and Deformation. His Carbonate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Volcano, Magma and Petrology.

His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amorphous solid, Magma chamber and Calcite. His Analytical chemistry study incorporates themes from Oxide, Crystal and Nucleation. His work in Crystallization is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Quenching.

His most cited work include:

  • The Colli Albani mafic caldera (Roma, Italy): Stratigraphy, structure and petrology (112 citations)
  • Magma–carbonate interaction: An experimental study on ultrapotassic rocks from Alban Hills (Central Italy) (83 citations)
  • Carbonate assimilation in magmas: A reappraisal based on experimental petrology (76 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcano, Magma and Crystallization. The concepts of his Petrology study are interwoven with issues in Seismology, Tectonics, Porosity and Carbonate. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Earth science and Mafic.

In his study, Silicic and Pyroclastic rock is strongly linked to Caldera, which falls under the umbrella field of Magma. The various areas that Silvio Mollo examines in his Crystallization study include Supercooling, Nucleation, Mineralogy and Analytical chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Crystal, Silicate and Texture as well as Analytical chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (57.52%)
  • Petrology (43.79%)
  • Volcano (44.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Volcano (44.44%)
  • Geochemistry (57.52%)
  • Phenocryst (24.84%)

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

Silvio Mollo mainly focuses on Volcano, Geochemistry, Phenocryst, Crystallization and Petrology. In the subject of general Volcano, his work in Caldera is often linked to Radon and Environmental science, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work in Geochemistry addresses issues such as Augite, which are connected to fields such as Olivine, Trachyte, Rhyolite and Aeolian processes.

His Phenocryst research incorporates themes from Thermodynamics and Nucleation. His research in Crystallization intersects with topics in Differential scanning calorimetry, Supercooling and Supersaturation. His Petrology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Magma.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The role of undercooling during clinopyroxene growth in trachybasaltic magmas: Insights on magma decompression and cooling at Mt. Etna volcano (11 citations)
  • The role of undercooling during clinopyroxene growth in trachybasaltic magmas: Insights on magma decompression and cooling at Mt. Etna volcano (11 citations)
  • Mush cannibalism and disruption recorded by clinopyroxene phenocrysts at Stromboli volcano: New insights from recent 2003–2017 activity (9 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock

Silvio Mollo mostly deals with Phenocryst, Volcano, Mafic, Geochemistry and Crystallization. His Phenocryst study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Nucleation. His work in the fields of Volcano, such as Caldera, intersects with other areas such as Principal component analysis, Multi parametric and Environmental science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Fractional crystallization, Mantle, Lava, Trace element and Diopside in addition to Mafic. His work on Igneous differentiation as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Porphyritic, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Crystallization research incorporates elements of Supercooling, Mineral redox buffer, Trachybasalt and Supersaturation.
