Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Subduction
  • Plate tectonics

His primary areas of investigation include Subduction, Geophysics, Petrology, Mantle and Mantle wedge. His studies in Subduction integrate themes in fields like Slab, Lithosphere and Crust. His work carried out in the field of Geophysics brings together such families of science as Eclogitization, Tectonics, Plate tectonics, Slab window and Mantle plume.

His work deals with themes such as Mineralogy, Overburden pressure and Forearc, which intersect with Petrology. In the subject of general Mantle, his work in Seismic tomography is often linked to Numerical modeling, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Mantle wedge research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metamorphic rock, Adakite, Partial melting and Accretionary wedge.

His most cited work include:

  • Exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks in a subduction channel: A numerical simulation (584 citations)
  • Exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks in a subduction channel: A numerical simulation (584 citations)
  • Rayleigh^Taylor instabilities from hydration and melting propel 'cold plumes' at subduction zones (400 citations)

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

His main research concerns Subduction, Geophysics, Petrology, Mantle and Lithosphere. The concepts of his Subduction study are interwoven with issues in Slab and Crust. His studies deal with areas such as Eclogitization, Mantle wedge, Mantle convection, Continental collision and Plume as well as Geophysics.

In the field of Petrology, his study on Metamorphic rock overlaps with subjects such as Numerical modeling. His Mantle research includes elements of Diapir and Volcanic arc. His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rift and Plate tectonics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Subduction (53.93%)
  • Geophysics (36.32%)
  • Petrology (34.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Petrology (34.91%)
  • Subduction (53.93%)
  • Lithosphere (22.48%)

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

Taras Gerya mainly investigates Petrology, Subduction, Lithosphere, Seismology and Slab. His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Continental collision, Plume, Mantle, Diapir and Grain size. The Mantle study which covers Magmatism that intersects with Basalt.

His research in Subduction intersects with topics in Passive margin and Transition zone. His research integrates issues of Rift, Plate tectonics and Crust in his study of Lithosphere. His Slab research integrates issues from Composite material, Tearing, Arc and Continental margin.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A water budget dichotomy of rocky protoplanets from 26Al-heating (47 citations)
  • A water budget dichotomy of rocky protoplanets from $^{26}$Al-heating (42 citations)
  • Impact splash chondrule formation during planetesimal recycling (38 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Subduction
  • Plate tectonics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Subduction, Lithosphere, Petrology, Crust and Mantle. Taras Gerya regularly ties together related areas like Slab in his Subduction studies. The Lithosphere study combines topics in areas such as Rift, Geophysics and Plate tectonics.

The various areas that Taras Gerya examines in his Petrology study include Foreland basin, Continental collision, Deformation, Oceanic crust and Grain size. His Crust study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tectonics, Magmatism, Suture, Terrestrial planet and Extensional tectonics. He works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to concerns involving Convergent boundary and, occasionally, Magnetic dip, Mantle wedge, Transition zone, Felsic and Geochemistry.
