The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Seismology, Seafloor spreading, Magnetic anomaly and Triple junction.
His Paleontology and Oceanic plateau, Volcano, Seamount, Flood basalt and Mantle plume investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities.
His work in Seismology addresses issues such as Ridge, which are connected to fields such as Tectonics, Oceanic basin, Oceanic crust and Abyssal plain.
His Seafloor spreading research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mineralogy and Mud volcano.
His Magnetic anomaly study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Earth's magnetic field and Pacific Plate.
In his work, Lithosphere and Plate tectonics is strongly intertwined with Lineation, which is a subfield of Triple junction.
His most cited work include:
- Gas hydrate and chemosynthetic biota in mounded bathymetry at mid-slope hydrocarbon seeps: Northern Gulf of Mexico (125 citations)
- Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary age and mid-ocean-ridge–type mantle source for Shatsky Rise (115 citations)
- Geology and Geochronology of the Line Islands (108 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
William W. Sager spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Seismology, Seamount and Magnetic anomaly.
His Cretaceous, Pacific Plate, Oceanic plateau, Guyot and Basalt study are his primary interests in Paleontology.
His Oceanic plateau research incorporates elements of Lava, Shield volcano, Massif and Mantle plume.
In his study, Oceanic crust and Fault scarp is strongly linked to Seafloor spreading, which falls under the umbrella field of Seismology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volcano, Submarine volcano, Earth science and Hotspot.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Earth's magnetic field under Magnetic anomaly, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Geophysics and Anomaly.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (48.77%)
- Paleomagnetism (21.60%)
- Seismology (25.93%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Paleontology (48.77%)
- Oceanic plateau (20.37%)
- Seismology (25.93%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
William W. Sager focuses on Paleontology, Oceanic plateau, Seismology, Geochemistry and Crust.
His Paleontology research includes elements of Bathymetry and Ridge.
His Oceanic plateau research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Seafloor spreading, Geophysics, Petrology, Massif and Divergent boundary.
His study in the field of Tectonics and Lineation is also linked to topics like Plateau and Continuous wavelet transform.
Many of his research projects under Geochemistry are closely connected to Large igneous province with Large igneous province, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His studies deal with areas such as Mineralogy and Oceanic crust as well as Crust.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Subduction initiation and ophiolite crust: new insights from IODP drilling (82 citations)
- An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean (62 citations)
- An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean (62 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
- Volcano
William W. Sager spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Crust, Seamount, Oceanic plateau and Basalt.
His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Geomorphology.
He has included themes like Ridge push, Magnetic anomaly, Water column, Mineralogy and Seismology in his Crust study.
In his study, Pacific Plate is inextricably linked to Paleomagnetism, which falls within the broad field of Seamount.
His research investigates the connection between Oceanic plateau and topics such as Massif that intersect with problems in Volcano.
His research investigates the connection with Basalt and areas like Mantle which intersect with concerns in International Ocean Discovery Program and Geodesy.
