Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Paleontology
  • Cancer

Her primary areas of study are Tephra, Geochemistry, Volcano, Paleontology and Volcanic ash. Her study focuses on the intersection of Tephra and fields such as Ice core with connections in the field of Quaternary. Her research investigates the link between Volcano and topics such as Sedimentary rock that cross with problems in Macrofossil and Outcrop.

Her research on Paleontology often connects related topics like Archaeology. Her Volcanic ash research incorporates themes from Natural hazard, Upper Paleolithic and Neanderthal, Anatomically modern human. Her research in Magma intersects with topics in Rhyolite and Silicic.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tephrostratigraphy and glass compositions of post-15 kyr Campi Flegrei eruptions: implications for eruption history and chronostratigraphic markers (154 citations)
  • Volcanic ash layers illuminate the resilience of Neanderthals and early modern humans to natural hazards (143 citations)
  • Trends in rhyolite geochemistry, mineralogy, and magma storage during the last 50 kyr at Okataina and Taupo volcanic centres, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand (126 citations)

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

Victoria C. Smith mainly focuses on Tephra, Geochemistry, Volcano, Paleontology and Magma. The Tephra study which covers Volcanic ash that intersects with Dense-rock equivalent and Peléan eruption. Her study in Geochemistry concentrates on Caldera, Rhyolite, Pyroclastic rock, Mafic and Phenocryst.

Her work in the fields of Volcano, such as Explosive eruption, intersects with other areas such as Stratigraphy. Her study in the field of Chronology, Pleistocene and Marine isotope stage also crosses realms of Varve. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Igneous rock under Magma, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Lava dome.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Tephra (42.57%)
  • Geochemistry (44.59%)
  • Volcano (39.86%)

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

  • Tephra (42.57%)
  • Volcano (39.86%)
  • Geochemistry (44.59%)

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

Her main research concerns Tephra, Volcano, Geochemistry, Volcanic ash and Paleontology. Victoria C. Smith combines subjects such as Radiocarbon dating, Explosive eruption, Magma and Chronology with her study of Tephra. Her Dense-rock equivalent and Volcanic explosivity index study in the realm of Magma connects with subjects such as Volatile behaviour.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Trace element and Holocene in addition to Volcano. Her Caldera and Sedimentary rock investigations are all subjects of Geochemistry research. Her study looks at the relationship between Caldera and fields such as Pyroclastic rock, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The marine isotope stage 1-5 cryptotephra record of Tenaghi Philippon, Greece: towards a detailed tephrostratigraphic framework for the Eastern Mediterranean region (27 citations)
  • Integrating the Holocene tephrostratigraphy for East Asia using a high-resolution cryptotephra study from Lake Suigetsu (SG14 core), central Japan (25 citations)
  • MMP-9 inhibition promotes anti-tumor immunity through disruption of biochemical and physical barriers to T-cell trafficking to tumors. (19 citations)
