Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

Barbara Carrapa mainly investigates Paleontology, Plateau, Foreland basin, Geomorphology and Thermochronology. Her study in Paleontology focuses on Provenance, Sedimentary rock, Cretaceous, Late Miocene and Cenozoic. Her research integrates issues of Structural basin, Aridification and Terrane in her study of Plateau.

Barbara Carrapa has included themes like Elevation and Geochemistry in her Structural basin study. In her research, Alluvial fan is intimately related to Paleocurrent, which falls under the overarching field of Foreland basin. Barbara Carrapa focuses mostly in the field of Thermochronology, narrowing it down to matters related to Fission track dating and, in some cases, Detritus.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tectonics and Climate of the Southern Central Andes (278 citations)
  • Thermochronologic evidence for plateau formation in central Tibet by 45 Ma (149 citations)
  • Sedimentology, provenance and geochronology of the upper Cretaceous-lower Eocene western Xigaze forearc basin, southern Tibet (108 citations)

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

Paleontology, Structural basin, Foreland basin, Geochemistry and Geomorphology are her primary areas of study. Her research in Paleontology tackles topics such as Plateau which are related to areas like Lithosphere. In her study, Paleogene is inextricably linked to Aridification, which falls within the broad field of Structural basin.

Her Foreland basin research focuses on Provenance and how it relates to Late Miocene. Her Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentation, Tectonics and Earth science. Her Thermochronology research includes themes of Mineralogy and Fission track dating.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (60.82%)
  • Structural basin (28.07%)
  • Foreland basin (24.56%)

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

  • Paleontology (60.82%)
  • Geochemistry (25.73%)
  • Cenozoic (20.47%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Cenozoic, Foreland basin and Tectonics. Her study in the field of Cretaceous, Mesozoic, Structural basin and Unconformity is also linked to topics like Kinematics. The various areas that she examines in her Cretaceous study include Nappe, Geologic map and Inversion.

Her work is dedicated to discovering how Structural basin, Sedimentology are connected with Neogene and Late Miocene and other disciplines. Her Foreland basin research incorporates elements of Sedimentary rock, Subduction and Provenance. Her Tectonics research includes elements of Conglomerate, Canyon, Window and Paleoclimatology.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Early Inception of the Laramide Orogeny in Southwestern Montana and Northern Wyoming: Implications for Models of Flat-Slab Subduction (15 citations)
  • Cretaceous to Middle Cenozoic Exhumation History of the Cordillera de Domeyko and Salar de Atacama Basin, Northern Chile (13 citations)
  • The role of the westerlies and orography in Asian hydroclimate since the late Oligocene (10 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

Her primary areas of study are Paleontology, Cenozoic, Aridification, Unconformity and Central asia. Her is doing research in Flat slab subduction, Laramide orogeny, Structural basin, Cretaceous and Phanerozoic, both of which are found in Paleontology. Her Cenozoic study incorporates themes from Geochemistry, Zircon and Geochronology.

Her studies in Aridification integrate themes in fields like Neogene, Climate model and Late Miocene. Her Unconformity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Orogeny, Flysch, Subsidence, Sedimentary depositional environment and Terrane. Central asia is integrated with Elevation, Climatology, Westerlies, Orography and Middle latitudes in her research.
