What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
- Fault
Alvar Braathen mainly investigates Seismology, Fault, Tectonics, Petrology and Paleontology.
His study ties his expertise on Deformation together with the subject of Seismology.
His Fault study deals with Outcrop intersecting with Siliciclastic, Process zone and Co2 storage.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Strike-slip tectonics, Petrophysics and Geomorphology.
His Paleontology research focuses on Devonian and Cretaceous.
The concepts of his Devonian study are interwoven with issues in Foreland basin and Permian.
His most cited work include:
- Interaction of the Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt and the Arabian-type, deep-seated folds in the Abadan Plain and the Dezful Embayment,SW Iran (132 citations)
- ROCK SLOPE FAILURES IN NORWEGIAN FJORD AREAS: EXAMPLES, SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND TEMPORAL PATTERN (84 citations)
- Interaction of Basement-Involved and Thin-Skinned Tectonism in the Tertiary Fold-Thrust Belt of Central Spitsbergen, Svalbard (78 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Petrology, Paleontology, Fault, Seismology and Tectonics are his primary areas of study.
His Petrology research includes themes of Permeability, Outcrop, Geomorphology and Environmental geology.
Alvar Braathen combines subjects such as Nappe, Metamorphic rock, Extensional definition, Shear zone and Deformation with his study of Fault.
In his research, Denudation is intimately related to Permian, which falls under the overarching field of Devonian.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Extensional fault, Mineralogy, Lithology and Fault gouge in addition to Shear.
He has researched Foreland basin in several fields, including Fold and Inversion.
He most often published in these fields:
- Petrology (39.29%)
- Paleontology (36.61%)
- Fault (31.25%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Paleontology (36.61%)
- Petrology (39.29%)
- Arctic (10.71%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alvar Braathen mainly focuses on Paleontology, Petrology, Arctic, Seismology and Tectonics.
His Petrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Outcrop, Geomorphology, Fault and Regional geology.
Alvar Braathen usually deals with Fault and limits it to topics linked to Economic geology and Palaeogeography.
In the field of Seismology, his study on Seismic noise and Microseism overlaps with subjects such as Resolution and Scale.
His research investigates the connection between Tectonics and topics such as Seafloor spreading that intersect with issues in Fluid migration, Sonar, Bathymetry and Submarine pipeline.
His Sedimentary depositional environment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paleozoic, Permian, Sedimentology, Basement and Devonian.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Fracture corridors as seal-bypass systems in siliciclastic reservoir-cap rock successions: Field-based insights from the Jurassic Entrada Formation (SE Utah, USA) (54 citations)
- Late Mesozoic magmatism in Svalbard: A review (48 citations)
- The importance of natural fractures in a tight reservoir for potential CO2 storage: a case study of the upper Triassic–middle Jurassic Kapp Toscana Group (Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway) (27 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
- Paleontology
Alvar Braathen spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Arctic, Petrology, Early Triassic and Sedimentary rock.
His work is connected to Devonian, Paleozoic, Magmatism, Large igneous province and Mafic, as a part of Paleontology.
His Petrology research incorporates elements of Outcrop and Geomorphology.
His work carried out in the field of Outcrop brings together such families of science as Shear and Well logging.
His studies in Geomorphology integrate themes in fields like Petrophysics and Environmental geology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ladinian, Marine transgression, Sea level and Progradation.
