Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

Walter D'Alessandro mostly deals with Volcano, Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Groundwater and Aquifer. His Volcano research includes themes of Sedimentary rock and Volcanism. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Subduction and Hydrothermal circulation.

The concepts of his Mineralogy study are interwoven with issues in Panache and Deposition. In his work, Pyrite, Pyrrhotite, Arsenopyrite, Volcanic rock and Water resources is strongly intertwined with Leaching, which is a subfield of Groundwater. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water well, Carbon dioxide, Magma and Asthenosphere in addition to Aquifer.

His most cited work include:

  • Mobility and fluxes of major, minor and trace metals during basalt weathering and groundwater transport at Mt. Etna volcano (Sicily) (205 citations)
  • Mantle-derived helium and carbon in groundwaters and gases of Mount Etna, Italy (131 citations)
  • Natural and anthropogenic factors affecting groundwater quality of an active volcano (Mt. Etna, Italy) (109 citations)

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

His main research concerns Volcano, Geochemistry, Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy and Earth science. His Volcano research includes themes of Sedimentary rock, Hydrothermal circulation, Aquifer, Groundwater and Geothermal gradient. In the subject of general Geochemistry, his work in Mantle and Basalt is often linked to Chemical composition, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Biomonitoring study, which is part of a larger body of work in Environmental chemistry, is frequently linked to Chloride, Trace and Flux, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Fumarole, Trace element, Particulates and Deposition. Walter D'Alessandro interconnects Volcanic arc and Carbon dioxide in the investigation of issues within Methane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volcano (46.46%)
  • Geochemistry (38.05%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (38.05%)
  • Volcano (46.46%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.01%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Volcano, Environmental chemistry, Methane and Mineralogy. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seawater and Aquifer, Groundwater. Walter D'Alessandro combines subjects such as Geothermal gradient, Biomonitoring and Volatiles with his study of Volcano.

His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microorganism, Soil pH and Hydrothermal circulation. His Methane study combines topics in areas such as Carbon dioxide, Volcanic arc and Earth science. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lava and Fault.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Geochemical characteristics of soil radon and carbon dioxide within the Dead Sea Fault and Karasu Fault in the Amik Basin (Hatay), Turkey (30 citations)
  • Large compositional differences in the gases released from the Kizildag ophiolitic body (Turkey): Evidences of prevailingly abiogenic origin (20 citations)
  • Origin of methane and light hydrocarbons in natural fluid emissions: A key study from Greece (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

Walter D'Alessandro mainly investigates Geochemistry, Volcano, Mineralogy, Methane and Volcanic arc. His studies deal with areas such as Meteoric water and Groundwater as well as Geochemistry. The Groundwater study which covers Geomorphology that intersects with Aquifer.

His Volcano research focuses on subjects like Geothermal gradient, which are linked to Hydrothermal circulation. His research integrates issues of Lava, Fault, Moss and Biomonitoring in his study of Mineralogy. His study looks at the relationship between Methane and topics such as Earth science, which overlap with Ophiolite and Spring.
