His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pigeonite, Augite and Geomorphology.
His work deals with themes such as Mineralogy, Volcanic glass and Lithophile, which intersect with Lava.
The various areas that Thomas L. Wright examines in his Mineralogy study include Rhyolite, Igneous rock, Crust, Seafloor spreading and Ridge.
His most cited work include:
- A Linear Programming and Least Squares Computer Method for Solving Petrologic Mixing Problems (435 citations)
- Xenoliths in the Honolulu Volcanic Series, Hawaii (309 citations)
- Origin of the Differentiated and Hybrid Lavas of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii (284 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Thomas L. Wright focuses on Geochemistry, Basalt, Volcano, Archaeology and Lava.
His Basalt research incorporates themes from Mineralogy, Pigeonite, Geomorphology and Group.
Thomas L. Wright interconnects Trace element and Igneous rock in the investigation of issues within Mineralogy.
The Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentology, Earth science and Chromite.
His Archaeology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Forestry and Sediment.
His research in Lava intersects with topics in Caldera, Augite and Lithology.

- Volcano (25.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Magma, Geochemistry, Volcano, Lava and Tectonics.
The Magma study combines topics in areas such as Earth science and Rift zone.
His is involved in several facets of Geochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Volcanic glass and Rhyolite.
His Volcano study introduces a deeper knowledge of Seismology.
His work carried out in the field of Lava brings together such families of science as Olivine, Basalt, Igneous differentiation, Phenocryst and Augite.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Seafloor spreading, Ridge, Mineralogy and Igneous rock in addition to Basalt.
Between 1989 and 2014, his most popular works were:
- Chemical Diversity of Abyssal Volcanic Glass Erupted Along Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean Sea‐Floor Spreading Centers (218 citations)
- Kilauea Lava Lakes: Natural Laboratories for Study of Cooling, Crystallization, and Differentiation of Basaltic Magma (68 citations)
- Deep magma transport at Kilauea volcano, Hawaii (47 citations)
