Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Carboniferous, Westphalian sovereignty, Pennsylvanian and Ecology. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Paleontology and Paleobotany. His Carboniferous research incorporates themes from Global warming, Biostratigraphy, Permian and Continental shelf.

As a part of the same scientific study, Christopher J. Cleal usually deals with the Westphalian sovereignty, concentrating on Species richness and frequently concerns with Alluvium. His studies in Pennsylvanian integrate themes in fields like Vegetation and Wetland. Christopher J. Cleal has researched Ecology in several fields, including Botany and Cretaceous.

His most cited work include:

  • Palaeozoic tropical rainforests and their effect on global climates: is the past the key to the present? (118 citations)
  • The Late Palaeozoic relations between Gondwana and Laurussia (99 citations)
  • The relationship between Euramerican and Cathaysian tropical floras in the Late Palaeozoic: Palaeobiogeographical and palaeogeographical implications (98 citations)

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

Christopher J. Cleal spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian, Ecology and Westphalian sovereignty. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Paleontology and Paleobotany in his work. His Carboniferous research includes themes of Permian, Frond, Macroflora, Swamp and Devonian.

His research in Frond intersects with topics in Alethopteris and Macroneuropteris. His study on Pennsylvanian also encompasses disciplines like

  • Botany that intertwine with fields like Neuropteris,
  • Paleoecology that intertwine with fields like Cordaites. His Westphalian sovereignty research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Species richness, Ecological succession and Clastic rock.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (51.22%)
  • Carboniferous (39.63%)
  • Pennsylvanian (26.83%)

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

  • Pennsylvanian (26.83%)
  • Paleontology (51.22%)
  • Botany (21.34%)

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

Christopher J. Cleal mainly investigates Pennsylvanian, Paleontology, Botany, Carboniferous and Ecology. His Pennsylvanian research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentology and Paleoecology. Structural basin, Biostratigraphy, Westphalian sovereignty, Permian and Glossopteris are the primary areas of interest in his Paleontology study.

His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Alethopteris and Medullosales. Christopher J. Cleal brings together Carboniferous and Paleobotany to produce work in his papers. His work on Habitat and Taxon as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Extinction event and Plant evolution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives (14 citations)
  • Arborescent lycophyte growth in the late Carboniferous coal swamps. (13 citations)
  • An appraisal of the Permian palaeobiodiversity and geology of the Ib-River Basin, eastern coastal area, India (13 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Carboniferous, Paleontology, Ecology, Botany and Taxonomy. His Carboniferous study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Swamp and Paleozoic. His Paleontology study is mostly concerned with Permian and Glossopteris.

His research integrates issues of Flora and Gondwana in his study of Permian. His Taxon and Biosphere study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Organic geochemistry, Molecular clock and Marine ecosystem. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Alethopteris and Medullosales.
