What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
Derek York mostly deals with Paleontology, Mineralogy, Absolute dating, Plateau and Cretaceous.
In general Paleontology study, his work on Volcanic rock, Basement, Seamount and Geochronology often relates to the realm of myr, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metamorphic rock, Argon, Laser and Biotite, Hornblende.
His studies in Absolute dating integrate themes in fields like Socle, Igneous rock, Sanidine, Tephra and Chronology.
The concepts of his Plateau study are interwoven with issues in Pyroclastic rock, Chronostratigraphy, Quaternary, Hypervelocity and Geomorphology.
His Cretaceous study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Volcano, Yixian Formation, Facies and Group.
His most cited work include:
- Least squares fitting of a straight line with correlated errors (2005 citations)
- Least-squares fitting of a straight line. (1278 citations)
- Unified equations for the slope, intercept, and standard errors of the best straight line (565 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Biotite and Geochronology.
His works in Metamorphism, Precambrian, Igneous rock, Archean and Metamorphic rock are all subjects of inquiry into Geochemistry.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Isotopes of argon under Mineralogy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Radiogenic nuclide.
His work on Absolute dating and Cretaceous as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to myr, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Absolute dating research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rhyolite and Sanidine.
His research in Biotite intersects with topics in Spectral line and Dike.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (44.86%)
- Mineralogy (26.17%)
- Paleontology (20.56%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1987-2005)?
- Geochemistry (44.86%)
- Mineralogy (26.17%)
- Paleontology (20.56%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Biotite and Absolute dating are his primary areas of study.
His work deals with themes such as Craton and Hornblende, which intersect with Geochemistry.
His studies deal with areas such as Amphibole, Laser, Isochron dating and Argon as well as Mineralogy.
His study in Biotite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Magnetite and Isotopes of argon.
The various areas that Derek York examines in his Absolute dating study include Sanidine and Group.
His Geochronology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paleomagnetism, Proterozoic and Terrane.
Between 1987 and 2005, his most popular works were:
- Unified equations for the slope, intercept, and standard errors of the best straight line (565 citations)
- Late PlioceneHomoand Oldowan Tools from the Hadar Formation (Kada Hadar Member), Ethiopia (247 citations)
- Single grain argon laser probe dating of phengites from the blueschist to greenschist transition on Sifnos (Cyclades, Greece) (132 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Basalt
- Paleontology
Derek York focuses on Geochemistry, Precambrian, Paleontology, Archean and Hornblende.
His Archean research incorporates elements of Craton and Zircon.
His research in Zircon intersects with topics in Basalt and Igneous rock.
His studies examine the connections between Hornblende and genetics, as well as such issues in Metamorphism, with regards to Feldspar, Granulite, Plagioclase and Biotite.
His research in Absolute dating tackles topics such as Chronology which are related to areas like Tephra.
His work on Mineralogy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Greenschist.
