His primary scientific interests are in Slab, Seismology, Subduction, Slab suction and Slab window. His work carried out in the field of Slab brings together such families of science as Mantle, Lithosphere, Mantle convection and Plate tectonics. The Pacific Plate, Rift zone and Obduction research Wouter Pieter Schellart does as part of his general Seismology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Far East, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Seafloor spreading, Ophiolite and Paleogene in addition to Subduction. His research investigates the link between Slab suction and topics such as Slab pull that cross with problems in Transition zone and Mechanics. Wouter Pieter Schellart has researched Slab window in several fields, including Convergent boundary, Volcanic arc, Geophysics and Underplating.
Wouter Pieter Schellart spends much of his time researching Subduction, Seismology, Slab, Geophysics and Plate tectonics. His primary area of study in Subduction is in the field of Slab window. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Magmatism, Transition zone and Underplating.
His Seismology research focuses on Forearc, Tectonics, Ophiolite, Convergent boundary and Obduction. His Slab research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mantle convection, Slab suction, Mantle wedge, Plume and Geodynamics. As a part of the same scientific study, Wouter Pieter Schellart usually deals with the Lithosphere, concentrating on Earth and frequently concerns with Earth science.
His main research concerns Subduction, Seismology, Slab, Geodynamics and Paleontology. His Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Magnetic dip, Petrology, Mantle and Deformation. His Mantle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Discontinuity, Back-arc basin and Hotspot.
As a part of the same scientific family, Wouter Pieter Schellart mostly works in the field of Slab, focusing on Cretaceous and, on occasion, Geodesy and Basalt. His research integrates issues of Mantle wedge and Thermo mechanical in his study of Geodynamics. Wouter Pieter Schellart focuses mostly in the field of Forearc, narrowing it down to topics relating to Subsidence and, in certain cases, Tectonophysics and Slab suction.
His primary scientific interests are in Subduction, Magnetic dip, Paleontology, Tectonics and Seismology. His Subduction research incorporates themes from Lithosphere, Deformation and Supercontinent. He combines subjects such as Geodynamics and Mantle with his study of Magnetic dip.
The various areas that Wouter Pieter Schellart examines in his Geodynamics study include Andean orogeny, Mountain formation and Back-arc basin. The Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Slab, Ridge and Cenozoic. His Slab study results in a more complete grasp of Geophysics.
