What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Paleozoic, Phanerozoic, Precambrian and Sedimentary rock.
His study in Carbonate rock, Stratigraphy, Ordovician, Proterozoic and Sequence stratigraphy is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology.
His Sequence stratigraphy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Bounding overwatch and Stratigraphic section.
His Paleozoic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Girvanella, Sinotubulites and Predator.
His Phanerozoic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reef, Stromatolite and Limiting factor.
As part of one scientific family, Brian R. Pratt deals mainly with the area of Sedimentary rock, narrowing it down to issues related to the Facies, and often Sediment and Geochemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy (883 citations)
- Reply to the comments of W. Helland-Hansen on "Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy" by Catuneanu et al. (Earth-Sciences Review 92(2009)1-33) (812 citations)
- Calcareous Algae and Stromatolites (359 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Geochemistry, Facies, Paleozoic and Reef.
His research in Trilobite, Ordovician, Sedimentary depositional environment, Grainstone and Laurentia are components of Paleontology.
His work carried out in the field of Facies brings together such families of science as Sedimentary rock, Marine transgression and Sequence.
His Paleozoic research includes elements of Ecology, Mesozoic and Unconformity.
In his research on the topic of Reef, Benthic zone is strongly related with Micrite.
His Sequence stratigraphy research includes themes of Context and Bounding overwatch.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (73.28%)
- Geochemistry (13.79%)
- Facies (13.79%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Paleontology (73.28%)
- Geochemistry (13.79%)
- Commission (4.31%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Brian R. Pratt mainly focuses on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Commission, Nomenclature and Supergroup.
His work on Benthic zone expands to the thematically related Paleontology.
His Geochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reef, Desiccation and Mars Exploration Program.
He combines subjects such as Sedimentary rock, Sedimentation and Geomorphology with his study of Supergroup.
His Horodyskia course of study focuses on Bedding and Sedimentary depositional environment and Intraclasts.
The various areas that Brian R. Pratt examines in his Carbonate platform study include Zigzag, Carbonate rock and Siliciclastic.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- COPROLITES IN THE RAVENS THROAT RIVER LAGERSTÄTTE OF NORTHWESTERN CANADA: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MIDDLE CAMBRIAN FOOD WEB (17 citations)
- A case for formalizing subseries (subepochs) of the Cenozoic Era (11 citations)
- Sedimentation, earthquakes, and tsunamis in a shallow, muddy epeiric sea: Grinnell Formation (Belt Supergroup, ca. 1.45 Ga), western North America (5 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Lagerstätte, Cenozoic, Supergroup and Sedimentation.
His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Fauna.
His Lagerstätte study combines topics in areas such as Detritivore, Bioturbation, Type, Benthic zone and Burgess Shale.
His Supergroup study contributes to a more complete understanding of Geochemistry.
