Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Thermodynamics
  • Telecommunications

William S. D. Wilcock spends much of his time researching Mid-ocean ridge, Seismology, Crust, Hydrothermal circulation and Mantle. His Mid-ocean ridge research includes elements of Petrology and Oceanic crust. In his study, Subduction is strongly linked to Oceanography, which falls under the umbrella field of Oceanic crust.

His work in the fields of Seismology, such as Tectonics and Extensional definition, intersects with other areas such as P wave and Full data. In his study, Diapir is inextricably linked to Seismic tomography, which falls within the broad field of Crust. His research integrates issues of Seafloor spreading, Ridge and Magma in his study of Hydrothermal circulation.

His most cited work include:

  • The three-dimensional seismic velocity structure of the East Pacific Rise near latitude 9° 30′ N (254 citations)
  • The quantum event of oceanic crustal accretion: impacts of diking at mid-ocean ridges. (165 citations)
  • Mid-ocean ridge sulfide deposits: Evidence for heat extraction from magma chambers or cracking fronts? (134 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Mid-ocean ridge, Seafloor spreading, Hydrothermal circulation and Ridge. The Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Seismic tomography, Ridge, Seamount and Crust. The concepts of his Mid-ocean ridge study are interwoven with issues in Tectonics, Mineralogy and Oceanic crust.

His work deals with themes such as Dike, Subduction, Magma and Geodesy, which intersect with Seafloor spreading. His Hydrothermal circulation research focuses on Geophysics and how it connects with Convection and Heat flux. His studies in Ridge integrate themes in fields like Lava, Microearthquake and Magma chamber.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (54.22%)
  • Mid-ocean ridge (25.90%)
  • Seafloor spreading (25.90%)

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

  • Seismology (54.22%)
  • Seamount (13.25%)
  • Subduction (7.23%)

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

Seismology, Seamount, Subduction, Seafloor spreading and Volcano are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Skew and Mantle in his study of Seismology. His Seamount research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Induced seismicity, Fault, Geophysics and Deformation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Caldera, Magma and Stress dependence in addition to Geophysics. William S. D. Wilcock has included themes like Pressure sensor and Geodesy in his Seafloor spreading study. His Geochemistry research is mostly focused on the topic Mid-ocean ridge.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Recent Volcanic History of Axial Seamount: Geophysical Insights into Past Eruption Dynamics with an Eye Toward Enhanced Observations of Future Eruptions (20 citations)
  • Structure, Seismicity, and Accretionary Processes at the Hot Spot-Influenced Axial Seamount on the Juan de Fuca Ridge (18 citations)
  • Mechanics of fault reactivation before, during, and after the 2015 eruption of Axial Seamount (13 citations)

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

  • Telecommunications
  • Oceanography
  • Thermodynamics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Seamount, Seismology, Subduction, Hydrothermal circulation and Volcano. His Seamount course of study focuses on Fault and Crust and Stress. His Subduction research incorporates themes from Seafloor spreading, Oceanography and Submarine pipeline.

His studies deal with areas such as Slip and Ocean current as well as Seafloor spreading. His research investigates the connection between Hydrothermal circulation and topics such as Petrology that intersect with problems in Seismic tomography and Mid-ocean ridge. He combines subjects such as Induced seismicity and Ridge with his study of Volcano.
