Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Paleontology

Gary J. Axen focuses on Cenozoic, Paleontology, Paleozoic, Foreland basin and Seismology. His study in Subduction and Lithosphere is carried out as part of his Paleontology studies. Gary J. Axen works mostly in the field of Paleozoic, limiting it down to topics relating to Permian and, in certain cases, Gondwana and Zircon, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Zircon research integrates issues from Crust, Petrology and Geochronology. His work deals with themes such as Fold and Unconformity, which intersect with Foreland basin. His study in the fields of Fault, Tectonics and Sinistral and dextral under the domain of Seismology overlaps with other disciplines such as Surface finish.

His most cited work include:

  • On the role of isostasy in the evolution of normal fault systems (484 citations)
  • Basin and Range extensional tectonics at the latitude of Las Vegas, Nevada (302 citations)
  • Evolution of fault-surface roughness with slip (247 citations)

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

Gary J. Axen mainly investigates Seismology, Paleontology, Geomorphology, Detachment fault and Rift. The Fault, Normal fault, Strike-slip tectonics and Sinistral and dextral research Gary J. Axen does as part of his general Seismology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Brittleness, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The concepts of his Geomorphology study are interwoven with issues in Geochemistry, Colorado plateau, Spring and Thrust fault.

His Rift research also works with subjects such as

  • Magmatism together with Mantle,
  • Lithosphere that intertwine with fields like Basin and range topography. As part of one scientific family, Gary J. Axen deals mainly with the area of Cenozoic, narrowing it down to issues related to the Paleozoic, and often Zircon and Unconformity. His Zircon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Basement and Geochronology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (38.46%)
  • Paleontology (41.26%)
  • Geomorphology (21.68%)

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

  • Paleontology (41.26%)
  • Seismology (38.46%)
  • Detachment fault (18.88%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Seismology, Detachment fault, Mantle and Rift. In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Trough, Tectonics, Crust and Unconformity is often linked to Geoid, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Gary J. Axen has researched Crust in several fields, including Shear zone, Zircon and Magnetic anomaly.

His study in the field of Normal fault and Fault also crosses realms of Kinematic modeling. His Detachment fault research includes themes of Metamorphic rock, Metamorphic core complex, Cretaceous, Metamorphism and Thermochronology. His Mantle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lithosphere and Petrology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Basal continental mantle lithosphere displaced by flat-slab subduction (44 citations)
  • Tectonic subsidence, geoid analysis, and the Miocene-Pliocene unconformity in the Rio Grande rift, southwestern United States: Implications for mantle upwelling as a driving force for rift opening (10 citations)
  • Two‐Phase Exhumation of the Santa Rosa Mountains: Low‐ and High‐Angle Normal Faulting During Initiation and Evolution of the Southern San Andreas Fault System (7 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Paleontology

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Seismology, Trough, Mantle and Detachment fault. His Thermochronology and Metamorphic rock investigations are all subjects of Paleontology research. His work on Normal fault, Tectonics and Fault is typically connected to Clockwise and Isochron dating as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Geochemistry, Crust, Pleistocene and Magnetic anomaly in addition to Trough. His Mantle research incorporates elements of Tectonic subsidence, Rift, Upwelling and Unconformity. His work carried out in the field of Detachment fault brings together such families of science as Metamorphic core complex, Paleogene, Cretaceous, Metamorphism and Plateau.
