His studies in Subduction, Penninic and Lithosphere are all subfields of Tectonics research.
The various areas that Stefan M. Schmid examines in his Subduction study include Intraplate earthquake, Orogeny, Geophysics and Plate tectonics.
His Mineralogy research includes elements of Slip, Mylonite, Subgrain rotation recrystallization and Quartz.
His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Geomorphology.
His most cited work include:
- The eastern Tonale fault zone: a ‘natural laboratory’ for crystal plastic deformation of quartz over a temperature range from 250 to 700 °C (945 citations)
- Tectonic map and overall architecture of the Alpine orogen (756 citations)
- The Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic orogenic system: correlation and evolution of tectonic units (716 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Seismology, Tectonics, Nappe and Subduction.
The concepts of his Seismology study are interwoven with issues in Slab and Petrology.
His research investigates the link between Tectonics and topics such as Geomorphology that cross with problems in Geochemistry.
As part of the same scientific family, Stefan M. Schmid usually focuses on Nappe, concentrating on Orogeny and intersecting with Obduction.
His Subduction research focuses on Lithosphere and how it relates to Cenozoic.
Stefan M. Schmid has included themes like Slip and Quartz in his Shear study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (40.44%)
- Seismology (27.87%)
- Tectonics (25.14%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Paleontology (40.44%)
- Seismology (27.87%)
- Subduction (20.22%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Stefan M. Schmid mainly focuses on Paleontology, Seismology, Subduction, Petrology and Ophiolite.
In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Tectonics and Geodynamics is often linked to Inversion and Mont blanc massif, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His studies deal with areas such as Architecture and Magnetic anomaly as well as Tectonics.
As a part of the same scientific study, Stefan M. Schmid usually deals with the Seismology, concentrating on Slab and frequently concerns with Lithosphere and Window.
Stefan M. Schmid interconnects Paleomagnetism, Orogeny, Cenozoic, Cretaceous and Mantle in the investigation of issues within Subduction.
His work deals with themes such as Geochemistry, Nappe and Obduction, which intersect with Ophiolite.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic (77 citations)
- Ivrea mantle wedge, arc of the Western Alps, and kinematic evolution of the Alps–Apennines orogenic system (57 citations)
- Dating Polygenetic Metamorphic Assemblages along a Transect across the Western Alps (55 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Geometry
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
Stefan M. Schmid spends much of his time researching Subduction, Paleontology, Ophiolite, Geochemistry and Seismology.
His Subduction research incorporates elements of Paleomagnetism, Orogeny and Mantle.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Nappe and Obduction in addition to Ophiolite.
His work on Continental crust and Metamorphism is typically connected to Chemical fingerprinting as part of general Geochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.
His Massif research extends to the thematically linked field of Seismology.
Stefan M. Schmid works mostly in the field of Foreland basin, limiting it down to topics relating to Neogene and, in certain cases, Plate tectonics, as a part of the same area of interest.
