Declining or Waning
- Volcanology and Igneous Petrology:
Research related to volcanology and igneous petrology has become less frequent, possibly due to a shift in focus towards sedimentary and palaeontological studies that have garnered more interest in current geological research. - Quaternary Geology Studies:
Papers specifically addressing Quaternary geology, including extensive analyses of glacial and interglacial periods, are less common, indicating a potential waning interest or a shift towards broader palaeoenvironmental studies that encompass these themes. - Mineral Exploration Geology:
The exploration of specific minerals and economic geology appears to be decreasing, as more emphasis is placed on broader geological processes and environmental implications rather than targeted mineral assessments.
