What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Erosion
- Paleontology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Aeolian processes, Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock and Mars Exploration Program.
The concepts of his Aeolian processes study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary structures, Sedimentary budget, Sediment and Delta.
His research in the fields of Sequence stratigraphy and Younger Dryas overlaps with other disciplines such as Population, Conceptual framework and Optically stimulated luminescence.
Gary Kocurek has included themes like Pleistocene and Field in his Geomorphology study.
In his study, Pennsylvanian, Paleozoic, Permian, Isopach map and Morrison Formation is inextricably linked to Fluvial, which falls within the broad field of Sedimentary rock.
His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry and Impact crater.
His most cited work include:
- A habitable fluvio-lacustrine environment at Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars. (499 citations)
- Deposition, exhumation, and paleoclimate of an ancient lake deposit, Gale crater, Mars. (313 citations)
- Aeolian system sediment state: theory and Mojave Desert Kelso dune field example (306 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Gary Kocurek mainly investigates Aeolian processes, Geomorphology, Paleontology, Mars Exploration Program and Sedimentary rock.
His Aeolian processes research incorporates themes from Structural basin, Sand dune stabilization, Stratification, Sediment and Geochemistry.
His study in the field of Bedform and Sedimentary depositional environment also crosses realms of Crest.
His study in Bedform is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sedimentary structures, Facies and Meteorology.
His work in Paleontology tackles topics such as Sea level which are related to areas like Sedimentary budget.
Gary Kocurek works mostly in the field of Pleistocene, limiting it down to topics relating to Quaternary and, in certain cases, Holocene.
He most often published in these fields:
- Aeolian processes (52.90%)
- Geomorphology (40.58%)
- Paleontology (35.51%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Aeolian processes (52.90%)
- Geomorphology (40.58%)
- Paleontology (35.51%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Gary Kocurek mostly deals with Aeolian processes, Geomorphology, Paleontology, Mars Exploration Program and Sediment.
His studies in Aeolian processes integrate themes in fields like Geochemistry and Structural basin.
His primary area of study in Geomorphology is in the field of Bedform.
His work in the fields of Paleontology, such as Sedimentary rock, Sedimentary depositional environment and Aggradation, overlaps with other areas such as Similarity and Sequence.
The Sedimentary depositional environment study which covers Outcrop that intersects with Sedimentology.
His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Turbulence and Impact crater.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Observations of an aeolian landscape: From surface to orbit in Gale Crater (59 citations)
- Shaler: in situ analysis of a fluvial sedimentary deposit on Mars (31 citations)
- Carving intracrater layered deposits with wind on Mars (27 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Erosion
- Paleontology
Geomorphology, Aeolian processes, Paleontology, Bedform and Mars Exploration Program are his primary areas of study.
Gary Kocurek has researched Geomorphology in several fields, including Stratigraphy and Architecture.
His Aeolian processes study combines topics in areas such as Geochemistry, Geologic record, Erosion and Atmospheric sciences.
Many of his research projects under Paleontology are closely connected to Similarity with Similarity, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
The various areas that he examines in his Bedform study include Flume and Fluvial.
While the research belongs to areas of Mars Exploration Program, Gary Kocurek spends his time largely on the problem of Impact crater, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Katabatic wind, Desert pavement, Denudation, Bedrock and Aeolian landform.
