About Frank Spear

Frank Spear, With an exceptional h-index of 74 and a recent h-index of 35 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specializes in the field of Metamorphic petrology, phase equilibrium, thermodynamic modeling.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

P–T evolution of the Cyclades Blueschist Unit: Constraints on the evolution of a nascent subduction system from Zr‐in‐rutile (ZiR) and quartz‐in‐garnet (QuiG) thermobarometry

A grain boundary model of metamorphic reaction

On the interpretation of TitaniQ and ZiR thermobarometry in subduction complexes

Pressure–temperature evolution of the basement and cover sequences on Ios, Greece: Evidence for subduction of the Hercynian basement

The secret life of garnets: a comprehensive, standardized dataset of garnet geochemical analyses integrating localities and petrogenesis

Nucleation theory applied to the development of contrasting garnet crystal densities

Pronounced and rapid exhumation of the Connecticut Valley Trough revealed through quartz in garnet Raman barometry and diffusion modelling of garnet dissolution–reprecipitation …
