Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mineral
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Bruce Velde mostly deals with Mineralogy, Clay minerals, Illite, Geochemistry and Soil water. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mica, Muscovite and Analytical chemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydrothermal circulation, Mineral and Silicate in addition to Clay minerals.

His study in Illite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Kaolinite, Chemical engineering, Degree and Diagenesis. His work deals with themes such as Expansive clay, Sedimentation and Compaction, which intersect with Geochemistry. Many of his research projects under Soil water are closely connected to Voxel with Voxel, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His most cited work include:

  • Clay minerals : a physico-chemical explanation of their occurrence (312 citations)
  • Origin and mineralogy of clays (249 citations)
  • The Origin of Clay Minerals in Soils and Weathered Rocks (230 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mineralogy, Clay minerals, Geochemistry, Illite and Soil water. His Mineralogy study incorporates themes from Mica and Analytical chemistry. The concepts of his Clay minerals study are interwoven with issues in Chlorite, Hydrothermal circulation, Potassium, Silicate and Soil horizon.

His research on Geochemistry often connects related topics like Mineral. His Illite study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Organic matter. His Soil water study deals with the bigger picture of Soil science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (42.51%)
  • Clay minerals (42.51%)
  • Geochemistry (37.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Clay minerals (42.51%)
  • Soil water (17.00%)
  • Geochemistry (37.65%)

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

His primary areas of study are Clay minerals, Soil water, Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Weathering. His research on Clay minerals focuses in particular on Illite. His Soil water research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Fertilizer, Agronomy and Mineral.

His research integrates issues of Surface and Meteoric water in his study of Geochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Sample, Potassium and Vermiculite. His Weathering study combines topics in areas such as Glomus, Inoculation, Horticulture and Biotite.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Origin of Clay Minerals in Soils and Weathered Rocks (230 citations)
  • Illite: Origins, Evolution and Metamorphism (102 citations)
  • Impact of phyllosilicate mineralogy on organic carbon stabilization in soils: incomplete knowledge and exciting prospects (83 citations)

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

  • Mineral
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

Clay minerals, Soil water, Mineralogy, Illite and Soil science are his primary areas of study. The subject of his Clay minerals research is within the realm of Geochemistry. His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Surface and Earth science.

He combines subjects such as Paddy field, Fertilizer, Nutrient and Mineral with his study of Soil water. His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Potassium, Sample, Vermiculite and Identification. His Illite study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pedogenesis and Kaolinite.
