Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Sanidine, Mineralogy and Cenozoic. His work deals with themes such as Ardipithecus ramidus, Hominidae and Foot skeleton, which intersect with Paleontology. As part of one scientific family, Alan L. Deino deals mainly with the area of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Geomorphology, and often Magma.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Sanidine, Canyon are connected with Natural abundance, Lithostratigraphy, Astrochronology and Geologic time scale and other disciplines. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Argon–argon dating, Isotope dilution and Radiogenic nuclide. His research investigates the connection with Cenozoic and areas like Pleistocene which intersect with concerns in Quaternary, Paleolimnology and Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Intercalibration of standards, absolute ages and uncertainties in 40Ar/39Ar dating (1463 citations)
  • Synchronizing Rock Clocks of Earth History (978 citations)
  • Time Scales of Critical Events Around the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary (343 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Structural basin, Geochemistry, Rift and Geochronology. His research related to Pleistocene, Stratigraphy, Rift valley, Sedimentary rock and Paleomagnetism might be considered part of Paleontology. His Pleistocene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as East African Rift, Quaternary and Olduvai Gorge.

Human evolution and Paleoclimatology is closely connected to Physical geography in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Structural basin. His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Geomorphology. Alan L. Deino works mostly in the field of Phenocryst, limiting it down to topics relating to Rhyolite and, in certain cases, Sanidine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (46.12%)
  • Structural basin (17.81%)
  • Geochemistry (15.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (46.12%)
  • Structural basin (17.81%)
  • Pleistocene (12.33%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Structural basin, Pleistocene, Geochemistry and Physical geography. He performs integrative study on Paleontology and Core. His Structural basin study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Paleomagnetism, Environmental change and Human evolution.

The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Olduvai Gorge and Sanidine. His research on Physical geography also deals with topics like

  • Paleoclimatology that intertwine with fields like Glacial period,
  • Pollen, which have a strong connection to Northern Hemisphere, Deserts and xeric shrublands, Vegetation and Riparian zone. His Rift research includes elements of Period, Acheulean, Quaternary and Middle Stone Age.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-distance stone transport and pigment use in the earliest Middle Stone Age (100 citations)
  • Environmental dynamics during the onset of the Middle Stone Age in eastern Africa (64 citations)
  • Chronology of the Acheulean to Middle Stone Age transition in eastern Africa (43 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Ecology

Alan L. Deino mostly deals with Structural basin, Middle Stone Age, Rift, Paleontology and Homo sapiens. Alan L. Deino combines subjects such as Period, Paleoclimatology, Pleistocene, Physical geography and Human evolution with his study of Structural basin. He studied Middle Stone Age and Acheulean that intersect with Climate change.

His Rift research focuses on subjects like Quaternary, which are linked to Erosion, Tephra, Tectonics, Volcano and Aridification. Paleontology is a component of his Sedimentary depositional environment, Australopithecus afarensis, Chronostratigraphy, Outcrop and Stratigraphy studies. His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology and Ecology as well as Homo sapiens.
