What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Subduction
- Volcano
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Crust, Petrology, Lithosphere and Rift.
His studies link Seafloor spreading with Seismology.
His study brings together the fields of Tilted block faulting and Crust.
He combines subjects such as Volcanic passive margin, Magma, Geomorphology and Underplating with his study of Petrology.
His research brings together the fields of Mantle and Rift.
He has included themes like Fault and Pure shear in his Tectonics study.
His most cited work include:
- Rheological evolution during extension at nonvolcanic rifted margins: Onset of serpentinization and development of detachments leading to continental breakup (227 citations)
- The structure, evolution and symmetry of the magma-poor rifted margins of the North and Central Atlantic: A synthesis (175 citations)
- Insight into the nature of the ocean-continent transition off West Iberia from a deep multichannel seismic reflection profile (153 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Seismology, Mantle, Petrology, Paleontology and Crust.
His work on Rift, Fault and Fault block as part of his general Seismology study is frequently connected to Reflection, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
He interconnects Magmatism, Diapir and Breakup in the investigation of issues within Rift.
The various areas that Timothy J. Reston examines in his Mantle study include Lithosphere and Igneous rock.
His Petrology study which covers Oceanic crust that intersects with Transition zone.
His Crust study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pure shear and Subsidence.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (58.99%)
- Mantle (25.18%)
- Petrology (22.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Seismology (58.99%)
- Mid-Atlantic Ridge (12.95%)
- Paleontology (20.86%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Paleontology, Seafloor spreading and Mantle.
His study in Rift, Fault, Tectonics, Magmatism and Induced seismicity is carried out as part of his Seismology studies.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Breakup under Rift, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Crustal recycling.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sonar, Lithosphere and Magnetic anomaly.
His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Petrology and Crust.
The concepts of his Petrology study are interwoven with issues in Mantle convection, Transition zone and Oceanic crust.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Fault-controlled hydration of the upper mantle during continental rifting (44 citations)
- Oceanic detachment faults generate compression in extension (41 citations)
- Continental hyperextension, mantle exhumation and thin oceanic crust at the continent-ocean transition, West Iberia: new insights from wide-angle seismic (28 citations)
