Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Sediment
  • Erosion

His primary scientific interests are in Turbidity current, Geomorphology, Sinuosity, Meander and Paleontology. His Turbidity current study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Flow, Flow velocity, Hydrology, Turbidite and Current. His work on Geomorphology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Sea level.

His Sinuosity study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock and Sedimentary depositional environment, Overbank. His Meander research incorporates elements of Flow and Entrainment. His Paleontology study incorporates themes from Architecture and Levee.

His most cited work include:

  • Architecture and evolution of upper fan channel-belts on the Niger Delta slope and in the Arabian Sea (274 citations)
  • Lateral accretion packages (LAPs): an important reservoir element in deep water sinuous channels (272 citations)
  • Reconstruction of turbidity currents in Amazon Channel (255 citations)

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

Carlos Pirmez spends much of his time researching Geomorphology, Turbidity current, Paleontology, Turbidite and Sediment. His Geomorphology research incorporates themes from Submarine and Levee. The Turbidity current study combines topics in areas such as Overbank, Geotechnical engineering, Hydrology, Turbulence and Flow.

Carlos Pirmez has researched Turbidite in several fields, including Bed load and Petrology. His work carried out in the field of Sediment brings together such families of science as Channelized and Clastic rock. His studies deal with areas such as Aggradation and Meander as well as Sinuosity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (50.94%)
  • Turbidity current (42.45%)
  • Paleontology (16.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Geomorphology (50.94%)
  • Turbidity current (42.45%)
  • Peninsula (4.72%)

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

Carlos Pirmez focuses on Geomorphology, Turbidity current, Peninsula, Paleontology and Waves and shallow water. His Facies, Sedimentary depositional environment and Aggradation study, which is part of a larger body of work in Geomorphology, is frequently linked to Scale, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Facies research includes themes of Submarine, Grain size and Turbidite.

Carlos Pirmez has included themes like Flow velocity, Thalweg, Geotechnical engineering, Bathymetry and Entrainment in his Turbidity current study. His study in Thalweg is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sinuosity and Overbank. In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Sedimentary rock and Cretaceous is often linked to Paleoclimatology, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Rapid Adjustment of Submarine Channel Architecture To Changes In Sediment Supply (46 citations)
  • Sediment partitioning, continental slopes and base-of-slope systems (43 citations)
  • Distribution and arrest of vertical through-going joints in a seismic-scale carbonate platform exposure (Sorrento peninsula, Italy): insights from integrating field survey and digital outcrop model (24 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Sediment
  • Erosion

Carlos Pirmez mostly deals with Geomorphology, Sediment, Deposition, Sedimentary depositional environment and Continental shelf. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Meander, Aggradation, Routing and Sinuosity. His work deals with themes such as Onlap, Magnitude, Lead, Sedimentation and Subsidence, which intersect with Deposition.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Facies, Seafloor spreading, Stack and Turbidite in addition to Sedimentary depositional environment. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stratigraphy, Siliciclastic, Submarine and Continental margin. His Cliff and Outcrop study in the realm of Paleontology connects with subjects such as Carbonate.
