Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

Belén Alonso focuses on Geomorphology, Tectonics, Sediment, Sedimentary rock and Paleontology. Belén Alonso works in the field of Geomorphology, focusing on Canyon in particular. Belén Alonso has researched Tectonics in several fields, including Oceanography, Sea level and Mediterranean sea.

Her study in the field of Terrigenous sediment is also linked to topics like Flux. Her study in Facies extends to Sedimentary rock with its themes. Her Neogene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quaternary and Continental margin.

Her most cited work include:

  • The most recent megalandslides of the Canary Islands: El Golfo debris avalanche and Canary debris flow, west El Hierro Island (139 citations)
  • Alboran Sea late cenozoic tectonic and stratigraphic evolution (82 citations)
  • HEAT FLOW IN THE ALBORAN SEA, WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN (71 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Geomorphology, Oceanography, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock and Mediterranean climate. Her Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Continental shelf and Continental margin. Her work deals with themes such as Sedimentation and Mediterranean sea, which intersect with Oceanography.

Her study in Quaternary, Sedimentary depositional environment, Tectonics, Structural basin and Neogene is carried out as part of her Paleontology studies. Her Sedimentary rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sediment, Seafloor spreading, Bathymetry, Facies and Turbidity current. Belén Alonso interconnects Current and Exhibition in the investigation of issues within Mediterranean climate.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (37.78%)
  • Oceanography (30.22%)
  • Paleontology (28.44%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Mediterranean climate (20.89%)
  • Paleontology (28.44%)
  • Sedimentary rock (27.11%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mediterranean climate, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Geomorphology and Contourite. Belén Alonso combines subjects such as Seismology, Sedimentation and Oceanography with her study of Mediterranean climate. Her Seismology research includes themes of Deformation and Mediterranean sea.

Her Sedimentary rock study frequently links to other fields, such as Mass movement. Her Geomorphology study frequently links to related topics such as Bathymetry. Her studies in Contourite integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary basin and Seamount.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Tectonic indentation in the central Alboran Sea (westernmost Mediterranean) (13 citations)
  • Influence of alongslope processes on modern turbidite systems and canyons in the Alboran Sea (southwestern Mediterranean) (12 citations)
  • Imaging the Growth of Recent Faults: The Case of 2016–2017 Seismic Sequence Sea Bottom Deformation in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) (7 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Contourite, Tectonics and Sedimentary depositional environment. In her study, Diapir and Sea level is strongly linked to Continental shelf, which falls under the umbrella field of Paleontology. The concepts of her Tectonics study are interwoven with issues in Late Miocene and Fault.

Her Sedimentary depositional environment research incorporates elements of Seismic loading, Geotechnical engineering, Submarine pipeline, Sediment and Grain size. Her Turbidite study also includes

  • Flood myth that connect with fields like Mediterranean climate,
  • Ridge that connect with fields like Geomorphology. In general Geomorphology, her work in Sedimentology, Canyon and Bedform is often linked to Wedge and Lateral asymmetry linking many areas of study.
