His Plate tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trough and Cretaceous.
His study on Seismology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Seismic tomography.
His most cited work include:
- Age, spreading rates, and spreading asymmetry of the world's ocean crust (1241 citations)
- Digital isochrons of the world's ocean floor (727 citations)
- Magnetic interpretation using the 3-D analytic signal (693 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Walter R. Roest mostly deals with Paleontology, Magnetic anomaly, Seismology, Seafloor spreading and Plate tectonics.
His research investigates the connection between Paleontology and topics such as Plateau that intersect with issues in Geomorphology, Contourite and Submarine pipeline.
His research investigates the connection between Magnetic anomaly and topics such as Geodesy that intersect with problems in Altitude.
His work in the fields of Oceanic crust and Tectonics overlaps with other areas such as Kinematics.
His studies deal with areas such as Mantle convection and Mid-ocean ridge as well as Seafloor spreading.
His biological study deals with issues like Fracture zone, which deal with fields such as African Plate.

- Plateau (15.04%)
- Volcano (6.02%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Plateau, Volcano, Tectonics and Seismology.
His Plateau study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geomorphology, Holocene, Cruise and Contourite.
The concepts of his Volcano study are interwoven with issues in Passive margin, Rift and Continental crust.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Earth science and Cretaceous in addition to Tectonics.
His work on Tectonophysics and Oceanic crust as part of general Seismology study is frequently linked to Kinematics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His study focuses on the intersection of Oceanic crust and fields such as Continental shelf with connections in the field of Crust and Seafloor spreading.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Transform Marginal Plateaus (9 citations)
- New Caledonia Obducted Peridotite Nappe: Offshore Extent and Implications for Obduction and Postobduction Processes (8 citations)
- Seamounts, plateaus and governance issues in the southwestern Indian Ocean, with emphasis on fisheries management and marine conservation, using the Walters Shoal as a case study for implementing a protection framework (6 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Volcano
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Tectonics, Seismology, Structural basin and Continental crust.
His Paleontology research incorporates themes from North Atlantic Deep Water, Thermohaline circulation and Ocean current.
His Seismology research includes themes of Continental shelf, Gravity and Bathymetry.
His research integrates issues of Sediment, Refraction and Seismometer in his study of Structural basin.
The Continental crust study combines topics in areas such as Fold, Passive margin and Oceanic crust.
He has researched Nappe in several fields, including Subduction, Cretaceous, Plate tectonics, Geodynamics and Gondwana.
