Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

David H. Krinsley focuses on Mineralogy, Quartz, Scanning electron microscope, Sedimentary rock and Diagenesis. The concepts of his Mineralogy study are interwoven with issues in Varnish, Desert varnish, Aeolian processes and Cathodoluminescence. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mineral, Illite and Geochronology in addition to Desert varnish.

His Aeolian processes research includes themes of Electron microscope and Abrasion. David H. Krinsley combines subjects such as Geochemistry, Igneous rock, Glacial period and Loess with his study of Quartz. His Glacial period research incorporates themes from Weathering, Turbidity current and Clastic rock.

His most cited work include:

  • Atlas of Quartz Sand Surface Textures (409 citations)
  • Environmental Interpretation of Sand Grain Surface Textures by Electron Microscopy (165 citations)
  • Application of cathodoluminescence imaging to the study of sedimentary rocks (152 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Mineralogy, Quartz, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock and Scanning electron microscope. His specific area of interest is Mineralogy, where he studies Diagenesis. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Quartz, Pleistocene is strongly linked to Glacial period.

The various areas that David H. Krinsley examines in his Geochemistry study include Carbonate and Quaternary, Absolute dating. His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Siliciclastic, Feldspar, Cathodoluminescence and Recrystallization, Petrology. His studies in Scanning electron microscope integrate themes in fields like Texture and Microanalysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (57.64%)
  • Quartz (28.47%)
  • Geochemistry (29.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Mineralogy (57.64%)
  • Cathodoluminescence (11.11%)
  • Sedimentary rock (26.39%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mineralogy, Cathodoluminescence, Sedimentary rock, Desert varnish and Geochemistry. David H. Krinsley interconnects Glacial period, Quartz and Coating in the investigation of issues within Mineralogy. His Feldspar study, which is part of a larger body of work in Quartz, is frequently linked to Monazite, bridging the gap between disciplines.

David H. Krinsley has researched Sedimentary rock in several fields, including Recrystallization, Carbonate and Scanning electron microscope. The Desert varnish study combines topics in areas such as Transmission electron microscopy, Plateau and Weathering. His work on Diagenesis and Devonian as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Histosol and Purple sulfur bacteria, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Application of cathodoluminescence imaging to the study of sedimentary rocks (152 citations)
  • Astrobiological Implications of Rock Varnish in Tibet (43 citations)
  • Spatial, temporal and geographic considerations of the problem of rock varnish diagenesis (24 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

David H. Krinsley mostly deals with Mineralogy, Desert varnish, Diagenesis, Geochemistry and Paleontology. His research integrates issues of Glacial period, Silicon, Plagioclase, Ice sheet and Lithology in his study of Mineralogy. His studies examine the connections between Desert varnish and genetics, as well as such issues in Weathering, with regards to Outcrop, Clay minerals and Diatom.

His Diagenesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Siliciclastic, Sedimentary rock, Carbonate, Provenance and Cathodoluminescence. His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Arid and Life on Mars. His study in the field of Outwash plain and Younger Dryas is also linked to topics like Disequilibrium and Empirical data.
