Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Mineralogy, Early life, Archean, Paleontology and Taphonomy are his primary areas of study. His Mineralogy research includes elements of Geochemistry and Sediment. His work investigates the relationship between Geochemistry and topics such as δ34S that intersect with problems in Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit.

The concepts of his Archean study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock, Geologic record and Ecology. When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, his work on Early Earth is frequently linked to work in Molecular clock, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The Taphonomy study combines topics in areas such as Tem analysis, Ecosystem, Pyrite, Precambrian and Focused ion beam.

His most cited work include:

  • Microfossils of sulphur-metabolizing cells in 3.4-billion-year-old rocks of Western Australia (254 citations)
  • A fresh look at the fossil evidence for early Archaean cellular life (198 citations)
  • Precipitation of dolomite using sulphate‐reducing bacteria from the Coorong Region, South Australia: significance and implications (196 citations)

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

David Wacey focuses on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Archean and Pyrite. His Volcanic glass and Basalt study in the realm of Geochemistry connects with subjects such as Pilbara Craton, Paleoarchean and Protein filament. His Inclusion and Clay minerals study in the realm of Mineralogy interacts with subjects such as Early life.

In general Paleontology study, his work on Precambrian, Trace fossil, Gunflint chert and Fossil Record often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. David Wacey combines subjects such as Geologic record, Stromatolite, Isotope analysis and Pillow lava with his study of Archean. His Pyrite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Organic matter, δ34S, Sedimentary rock, Diagenesis and Biota.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (40.95%)
  • Mineralogy (29.52%)
  • Paleontology (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (40.95%)
  • Pilbara Craton (11.43%)
  • Pyrite (22.86%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Pilbara Craton, Pyrite, Organic matter and Stromatolite. David Wacey studies Precambrian which is a part of Geochemistry. His Organic matter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Sphalerite and Subaerial.

His Sedimentary rock study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Inclusion, Siliciclastic and Diagenesis. The various areas that David Wacey examines in his Stromatolite study include δ34S and Dolomite. In his articles, David Wacey combines various disciplines, including Archean and Terrane.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nano−porous pyrite and organic matter in 3.5-billion-year-old stromatolites record primordial life (24 citations)
  • Sulfidization of 3.48 billion-year-old stromatolites of the Dresser Formation, Pilbara Craton: Constraints from in-situ sulfur isotope analysis of pyrite (6 citations)
  • Accumulation of Transition Metals and Metalloids in Sulfidized Stromatolites of the 3.48 Billion–year–old Dresser Formation, Pilbara Craton (5 citations)
