Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Alfred Uchman mainly focuses on Paleontology, Trace fossil, Ichnofacies, Cretaceous and Deep sea. His study in Zoophycos, Planolites, Ophiomorpha, Ichnotaxon and Thalassinoides is carried out as part of his Paleontology studies. His research in Trace fossil is mostly focused on Ichnology.

His Ichnofacies research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology and Paleoecology. His research investigates the connection with Cretaceous and areas like Carboniferous which intersect with concerns in Permian, Fodinichnia and Ordovician. His Deep sea research integrates issues from Bottom water, Phanerozoic, Turbidite and Flysch.

His most cited work include:

  • Names for trace fossils: a uniform approach (323 citations)
  • Taxonomy and ethology of flysch trace fossils; revision of the Marian Ksiazkiewicz Collection and studies of complementary material (210 citations)
  • Sequential colonization of muddy turbidites in the Eocene Beloveža Formation, Carpathians, Poland (109 citations)

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

Alfred Uchman mostly deals with Paleontology, Trace fossil, Cretaceous, Flysch and Ichnology. His study involves Planolites, Thalassinoides, Zoophycos, Paleogene and Nappe, a branch of Paleontology. The Trace fossil study which covers Ichnofacies that intersects with Skolithos and Siliciclastic.

He interconnects Foraminifera, Benthic zone, Biostratigraphy and Bioturbation in the investigation of issues within Cretaceous. His studies deal with areas such as Paleoecology and Turbidite as well as Flysch. His Ichnology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Structural basin and Ichnotaxon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (82.78%)
  • Trace fossil (61.26%)
  • Cretaceous (21.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Paleontology (82.78%)
  • Trace fossil (61.26%)
  • Geochemistry (6.62%)

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

Paleontology, Trace fossil, Geochemistry, Cretaceous and Neogene are his primary areas of study. His Paleontology research includes themes of Foraminifera and Pelagic zone. His study in Trace fossil is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Deep sea, Sedimentary depositional environment, Facies, Ichnofacies and Burrow.

His study looks at the relationship between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Clastic rock, which overlap with Zoophycos, Thalassinoides and Planolites. Alfred Uchman focuses mostly in the field of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to matters related to Nappe and, in some cases, Dinoflagellate, Belemnitella, Dinocyst and Biostratigraphy. Alfred Uchman has included themes like Half-graben, Rift, Graben and Submarine in his Cretaceous study.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The upper Miocene Deurne Member of the Diest Formation revisited : unexpected results from the study of a large temporary outcrop near Antwerp International Airport, Belgium (5 citations)
  • Bivalve bioerosion in Cretaceous-Neogene amber around the globe, with implications for the ichnogenera Teredolites and Apectoichnus (4 citations)
  • The trace fossil Circulichnis as a record of feeding exploration: New data from deep-sea Oligocene–Miocene deposits of northern Italy (4 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Alfred Uchman mainly investigates Paleontology, Trace fossil, Neogene, Cretaceous and Gastrochaenolites. His work on Ridge as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Chemical stimuli, thus linking different fields of science. Alfred Uchman undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Trace fossil and Microbial mat through his research.

His Neogene study incorporates themes from Volcanic island, Outcrop, Stratigraphy and Archaeology. The Cretaceous study combines topics in areas such as Planolites, Substrate, Zoophycos and Thalassinoides. His Gastrochaenolites study combines topics in areas such as Entobia and Conglomerate.
