Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geophysics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Plate tectonics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geophysics, Mantle, Lithosphere, Plate tectonics and Geoid. His Geophysics study incorporates themes from Geodynamics, Mechanics and Mantle convection. His Mechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Viscosity and Surface energy.

His work carried out in the field of Mantle brings together such families of science as Subduction, Asthenosphere and Hotspot. His Lithosphere research includes elements of Stratification and Geodesy. His Plate tectonics research incorporates elements of Grain size, Grain growth and Convection cell.

His most cited work include:

  • A geodynamic model of mantle density heterogeneity (383 citations)
  • 3SMAC: an a priori tomographic model of the upper mantle based on geophysical modeling (303 citations)
  • Geoid heights and lithospheric stresses for a dynamic Earth. (302 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geophysics, Mantle, Lithosphere, Mechanics and Mantle convection. His Geophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Earth's rotation, Convection, Plate tectonics and Asthenosphere. His work on Seismic tomography as part of general Mantle study is frequently connected to Geoid, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Yanick Ricard interconnects Subduction, Oceanic crust and Crust in the investigation of issues within Lithosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Viscosity, Planet and Grain size in addition to Mechanics. His Mantle convection study combines topics in areas such as Core–mantle boundary and Mantle wedge.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (46.33%)
  • Mantle (43.50%)
  • Lithosphere (23.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Geophysics (46.33%)
  • Mantle (43.50%)
  • Lithosphere (23.73%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geophysics, Mantle, Lithosphere, Seismology and Asthenosphere. His Geophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magma chamber, Convection, Mantle convection and Plate tectonics. Yanick Ricard connects Mantle with Normal mode in his study.

His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subduction and Deformation. He has researched Subduction in several fields, including Shear, Geodynamics, Transition zone and USArray. His Asthenosphere research incorporates themes from Low-velocity zone, Petrology and Oceanic crust.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plate tectonics, damage and inheritance (145 citations)
  • The Relation between mantle dynamics and plate tectonics: A Primer (122 citations)
  • Seismic observations of large-scale deformation at the bottom of fast-moving plates (93 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Geophysics
  • Plate tectonics

Yanick Ricard spends much of his time researching Geophysics, Seismology, Mantle, Mantle convection and Lithosphere. The various areas that Yanick Ricard examines in his Geophysics study include Vulcanian eruption, Phreatic eruption, Magma and Plate tectonics. His Seismology research integrates issues from Structure of the Earth, Body waves and Geodesy.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seismic wave, Classification of discontinuities, Transition zone and Thermodynamics. The various areas that he examines in his Mantle convection study include Mechanics and Grain growth. His studies in Lithosphere integrate themes in fields like Seafloor spreading, Surface wave, Continental crust and Oceanic crust.
