What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Plate tectonics
Alan R. Nelson focuses on Subduction, Seismology, Plate tectonics, Sea level and Radiocarbon dating.
His Subduction study is focused on Paleontology in general.
His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quaternary and Subsidence.
Alan R. Nelson conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Plate tectonics and Magnitude.
The various areas that Alan R. Nelson examines in his Sea level study include Assemblage, Ecology and Stratigraphy.
His research on Bay also deals with topics like
- Marsh most often made with reference to Peat,
- Inlet that intertwine with fields like Salt marsh.
His most cited work include:
- Summary of Coastal Geologic Evidence for past Great Earthquakes at the Cascadia Subduction Zone (216 citations)
- The Wasatch fault zone, utah—segmentation and history of Holocene earthquakes (193 citations)
- Identifying coseismic subsidence in tidal‐wetland stratigraphic sequences at the Cascadia subduction zone of western North America (180 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Subduction, Oceanography, Holocene and Radiocarbon dating.
His research in Seismology intersects with topics in Subsidence and Deformation.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Bay, Paleoseismology, Plate tectonics and Subsidence in addition to Subduction.
In his study, Series and Vegetation is inextricably linked to Period, which falls within the broad field of Plate tectonics.
As a member of one scientific family, Alan R. Nelson mostly works in the field of Holocene, focusing on Sea level and, on occasion, Deposition.
His Radiocarbon dating study improves the overall literature in Paleontology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Seismology (44.55%)
- Subduction (38.61%)
- Oceanography (23.76%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Seismology (44.55%)
- Subduction (38.61%)
- Oceanography (23.76%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alan R. Nelson mainly investigates Seismology, Subduction, Oceanography, Estuary and Marsh.
As part of one scientific family, Alan R. Nelson deals mainly with the area of Seismology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Deformation, and often Tectonophysics.
His study in Radiocarbon dating extends to Subduction with its themes.
The Foraminifera and Salt marsh research Alan R. Nelson does as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Environmental resource management, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His Estuary research incorporates elements of Sediment transport, Paleoseismology, Holocene, Intertidal zone and Earthquake rupture.
His Marsh study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Peninsula and Lithology.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Differences in coastal subsidence in southern Oregon (USA) during at least six prehistoric megathrust earthquakes (21 citations)
- Subduction zone slip variability during the last millennium, south-central Chile (13 citations)
- Relationships between diatoms and tidal environments in Oregon and Washington, USA (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Sedimentary rock
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Coastal hazards, Sedimentary rock, Oceanography and Subduction.
His study ties his expertise on Holocene together with the subject of Seismology.
His Coastal hazards study spans across into fields like Stratigraphy, Peninsula, Marsh and Lithology.
His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Prehistory and Archaeology.
His Oceanography research incorporates themes from Paleontology and Radiocarbon dating.
Alan R. Nelson studies Megathrust earthquake which is a part of Subduction.
