The various areas that he examines in his Turbidity current study include Traction, Outcrop and Debris.
His study looks at the relationship between Geomorphology and fields such as Subaerial, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
The concepts of his Paleontology study are interwoven with issues in Submarine and Sea level.
His studies in Facies integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock and Petroleum reservoir.
His most cited work include:
- 50 years of the turbidite paradigm (1950s—1990s): deep-water processes and facies models—a critical perspective (349 citations)
- Significance of Coniferous Rain Forests and Related Organic Matter in Generating Commercial Quantities of Oil, Gippsland Basin, Australia (326 citations)
- Fan-deltas and braid deltas: Varieties of coarse-grained deltas (319 citations)
