Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Mineralogy, Foreland basin, Provenance and Cenozoic. Sedimentary rock, Structural basin, Tectonic uplift, Sedimentary depositional environment and Paleomagnetism are among the areas of Paleontology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Greigite and Grain size.

His Foreland basin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alluvium, Sedimentary basin analysis, Back-stripping and Oceanic crust. His research in Provenance intersects with topics in Continental collision, Continental crust and Subsidence. His Cenozoic research incorporates themes from Subduction, Orogeny, Obduction, Aridification and Magnetostratigraphy.

His most cited work include:

  • Magnetic screening of a pollution hotspot in the Lausitz area, Eastern Germany: correlation analysis between magnetic proxies and heavy metal contamination in soils (108 citations)
  • Initial India-Asia Continental Collision and Foreland Basin Evolution in the Tethyan Himalaya of Tibet: Evidence from Stratigraphy and Paleontology (66 citations)
  • Kinematics of the Alpine–West Carpathian orogen and palaeogeographic implications (58 citations)

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

Paleontology, Plateau, Geochemistry, Paleomagnetism and Structural basin are his primary areas of study. His study in Sedimentary rock, Magnetostratigraphy, Pleistocene, Neogene and Foreland basin falls within the category of Paleontology. His Magnetostratigraphy study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary depositional environment and Cenozoic.

His study looks at the intersection of Paleomagnetism and topics like Clockwise with Tectonics. His study in Structural basin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Aridification and Orbital forcing. There are a combination of areas like Magnetite and Mineralogy integrated together with his Remanence study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (34.06%)
  • Plateau (24.64%)
  • Geochemistry (18.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (34.06%)
  • Structural basin (15.94%)
  • Plateau (24.64%)

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

Erwin Appel mostly deals with Paleontology, Structural basin, Plateau, Paleomagnetism and Pleistocene. His work carried out in the field of Structural basin brings together such families of science as Fault, Geochemistry and Aridification. Erwin Appel interconnects Neogene and Cenozoic in the investigation of issues within Aridification.

In his research on the topic of Paleomagnetism, Radiocarbon dating, Lithology, Period and Chronology is strongly related with Loess. His studies in Pleistocene integrate themes in fields like Glacial period, Pollen and Physical geography. The various areas that Erwin Appel examines in his Sedimentary rock study include Foreland basin, Tectonic uplift and Outcrop.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cenozoic magnetostratigraphy of the Xining Basin, NE Tibetan Plateau, and its constraints on paleontological, sedimentological and tectonomorphological evolution (40 citations)
  • Dust Storm Outbreak in Central Asia After ~3.5 kyr BP (12 citations)
  • Late Pliocene vegetation turnover on the NE Tibetan Plateau (Central Asia) triggered by early Northern Hemisphere glaciation (9 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Glacial period, Pleistocene and Physical geography. His studies in Early Pleistocene, Structural basin, Sedimentary rock and Magnetostratigraphy are all subfields of Paleontology research. In the subject of general Sedimentary rock, his work in Cyclostratigraphy is often linked to Remanence and Rock magnetism, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His research integrates issues of Volcanic rock, Permian, Strike-slip tectonics, Loess and Sedimentary depositional environment in his study of Paleomagnetism. His Physical geography research focuses on Northern Hemisphere and how it relates to Dust storm. The concepts of his Tectonic uplift study are interwoven with issues in Aridification and Cenozoic.
