What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Oceanography
Her primary scientific interests are in Sedimentary rock, Geomorphology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Seafloor spreading and Contourite.
Her Sedimentary rock research includes themes of Structural basin, Tectonics, Continental margin, Continental shelf and Turbidity current.
She has included themes like Quaternary and Paleogene in her Tectonics study.
Geomorphology is closely attributed to Fault in her study.
Her Sedimentary depositional environment study deals with the bigger picture of Paleontology.
Her work in Seafloor spreading tackles topics such as Sedimentary basin which are related to areas like Progradation.
Her most cited work include:
- Sedimentary processes in the Selvage sediment‐wave field, NE Atlantic: new insights into the formation of sediment waves by turbidity currents (107 citations)
- Gas-charged sediments and large pockmark-like features on the Gulf of Cadiz slope (SW. Spain) (104 citations)
- Along-slope oceanographic processes and sedimentary products around the Iberian margin (95 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Gemma Ercilla spends much of her time researching Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock, Paleontology, Contourite and Oceanography.
Her Geomorphology study combines topics in areas such as Continental shelf, Tectonics and Bathymetry.
Her study in Sedimentary rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin, Seafloor spreading and Continental margin.
Gemma Ercilla works mostly in the field of Sedimentary depositional environment, limiting it down to topics relating to Facies and, in certain cases, Geochemistry.
When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, her work on Quaternary, Pleistocene, Neogene and Glacial period is frequently linked to work in Margin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Her research integrates issues of Water mass, Canyon and Sedimentation in her study of Contourite.
She most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (36.28%)
- Sedimentary rock (35.40%)
- Paleontology (30.97%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Paleontology (30.97%)
- Contourite (24.78%)
- Sedimentary rock (35.40%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Gemma Ercilla mainly investigates Paleontology, Contourite, Sedimentary rock, Mediterranean climate and Tectonics.
Her Paleontology and Continental margin, Quaternary, Pleistocene, Turbidite and Volcanic cone investigations all form part of her Paleontology research activities.
Gemma Ercilla combines subjects such as Continental shelf, Canyon and Facies with her study of Contourite.
Her Sedimentary rock study incorporates themes from Slope stability and Seafloor spreading.
Her Tectonics research incorporates themes from Submarine landslide, Structural basin, Late Miocene and Fault.
Landslide is a subfield of Geomorphology that Gemma Ercilla investigates.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Textural characteristics and facies of sand‐rich contourite depositional systems (21 citations)
- Sponge skeletons as an important sink of silicon in the global oceans (18 citations)
- Tectonic indentation in the central Alboran Sea (westernmost Mediterranean) (13 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Oceanography
Her primary areas of study are Paleontology, Contourite, Continental margin, Tectonics and Sedimentary rock.
Her Contourite study is within the categories of Sedimentary depositional environment, Geomorphology and Turbidite.
Her work deals with themes such as Sedimentary basin, Sediment, Facies and Interglacial, which intersect with Sedimentary depositional environment.
Gemma Ercilla usually deals with Geomorphology and limits it to topics linked to Ridge and Canyon.
Her work in Tectonics addresses issues such as Fault, which are connected to fields such as Structural basin, Marine transgression, Seafloor spreading and Continental shelf.
Her study in Outburst flood extends to Sedimentary rock with its themes.
