Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Cretaceous

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Cretaceous, Kaiparowits Formation, Cave and Homo naledi. His Paleontology study is mostly concerned with Geochronology, Pleistocene, Radiometric dating, Sedimentary depositional environment and East African Rift. Eric M. Roberts interconnects Paleoecology, Provenance and Gondwana in the investigation of issues within Cretaceous.

As part of one scientific family, Eric M. Roberts deals mainly with the area of Kaiparowits Formation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Laramidia, and often Biostratigraphy. As a part of the same scientific family, Eric M. Roberts mostly works in the field of Cave, focusing on Taphonomy and, on occasion, Homo sapiens, Ichnology and Later Stone Age. Eric M. Roberts applies his multidisciplinary studies on Homo naledi and Hominidae in his research.

His most cited work include:

  • Prevalence of Parkinson's disease across North America (193 citations)
  • Initiation of the western branch of the East African Rift coeval with the eastern branch (189 citations)
  • The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa (145 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Cretaceous, Sedimentary depositional environment, Paleogene and Cave. Paleontology is a component of his Rift, Taphonomy, Kaiparowits Formation, Gondwana and Geochronology studies. While the research belongs to areas of Cretaceous, Eric M. Roberts spends his time largely on the problem of Structural basin, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Biostratigraphy and Outcrop.

His Paleogene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxon, Ecology and Fauna. His study in the field of Homo naledi also crosses realms of Australopithecus sediba. The concepts of his Homo naledi study are interwoven with issues in Pleistocene and Paleoanthropology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (75.16%)
  • Cretaceous (38.56%)
  • Sedimentary depositional environment (17.65%)

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

  • Paleontology (75.16%)
  • Cretaceous (38.56%)
  • Homo naledi (26.14%)

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

Eric M. Roberts mostly deals with Paleontology, Cretaceous, Homo naledi, Cave and Sedimentary rock. Eric M. Roberts conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Paleontology and Context through his works. His Cretaceous study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Provenance, Gondwana and Mesozoic.

His work carried out in the field of Homo naledi brings together such families of science as Paleoanthropology, Pleistocene and Ancient history. His Cave study combines topics in areas such as Karst and Star. His studies in Sedimentary rock integrate themes in fields like Trace fossil, Breccia, Diagenesis and Zircon.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prevalence of Parkinson's disease across North America (193 citations)
  • The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa (145 citations)
  • The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa (145 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Cretaceous

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Cave, Homo naledi, Paleoanthropology and Hominidae. His work on Cretaceous, Outcrop and Geochronology as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Context and Stratigraphy, thus linking different fields of science. His studies deal with areas such as Lavanify and Structural basin as well as Cretaceous.

In his work, Sedimentary depositional environment and Facies is strongly intertwined with Gondwana, which is a subfield of Outcrop. His Cave study incorporates themes from Paleomagnetism, Karst and Plateau. His studies in Homo naledi integrate themes in fields like Radiometric dating and Pleistocene.
