- Tectonics
Brian P. Wernicke mainly investigates Paleontology, Basin and Range Province, Basin and range topography, Seismology and Cenozoic.
Brian P. Wernicke interconnects Detachment fault, Petrology, Lithosphere and Simple shear in the investigation of issues within Basin and Range Province.
His Detachment fault study which covers Tilted block faulting that intersects with Nappe and Colorado plateau.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plate tectonics and Longitude, Latitude.
His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shear and Sequence.
His Cenozoic study incorporates themes from Physical geography and Continental crust.
His most cited work include:
- Uniform-sense normal simple shear of the continental lithosphere (1230 citations)
- Low-angle normal faults in the Basin and Range Province: nappe tectonics in an extending orogen (947 citations)
- Modes of extensional tectonics (705 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Brian P. Wernicke focuses on Paleontology, Seismology, Geomorphology, Basin and range topography and Basin and Range Province.
His work in Paleontology addresses issues such as Canyon, which are connected to fields such as Apatite and Sedimentary rock.
His Seismology study often links to related topics such as Shear.
When carried out as part of a general Geomorphology research project, his work on Extensional tectonics, Neogene and Structural basin is frequently linked to work in Las vegas, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Basin and range topography research incorporates elements of Foreland basin, Geodetic datum and Latitude.
His Basin and Range Province research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lithosphere, Simple shear, Plate tectonics and Crust.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (34.18%)
- Seismology (29.11%)
- Geomorphology (20.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Geomorphology (20.89%)
- Paleontology (34.18%)
- Colorado plateau (10.76%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Geomorphology, Paleontology, Colorado plateau, Seismology and Quaternary.
In general Geomorphology study, his work on Neogene and Erosion often relates to the realm of Las vegas and Kinematics, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Colorado plateau research integrates issues from Range, Craton, Archaeology and Spring.
His study in the field of Fault slip and Lithosphere also crosses realms of Motion, Reflection and Interpretation.
His research in Subduction intersects with topics in Shear, Helvetic nappes, Molasse and Crust.
His Basin and Range Province study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Landslide and Geochemistry.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The Neotethyan Sanandaj-Sirjan zone of Iran as an archetype for passive margin-arc transitions (109 citations)
- On seasonal signals in geodetic time series (92 citations)
- Temperatures and fluids on faults based on carbonate clumped-isotope thermometry (32 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
Brian P. Wernicke focuses on Paleontology, Seismology, Plate tectonics, Basin and Range Province and Geodesy.
Passive margin, Subduction, Nappe, Imbrication and Crust are among the areas of Paleontology where Brian P. Wernicke concentrates his study.
His studies deal with areas such as Shear, Helvetic nappes, Molasse and Thrust fault as well as Subduction.
The concepts of his Seismology study are interwoven with issues in Geophysics and Simple shear.
His Plate tectonics research includes elements of Geodetic datum and Deformation.
His Basin and Range Province research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Landslide, Normal fault, Cataclastic rock and Isotopic composition, Geochemistry.
