Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Magnetostratigraphy, Biostratigraphy, Paleomagnetism and Gondwana. His Permian, Stratigraphy, Stage, Conodont and Pleistocene study are his primary interests in Paleontology. His work deals with themes such as Tidal forcing, Carbonate platform, Forcing and Zircon, which intersect with Magnetostratigraphy.

His research integrates issues of Outcrop and Stratotype in his study of Biostratigraphy. His Paleomagnetism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Paleosol, Chronostratigraphy, Facies and Unconformity. The concepts of his Gondwana study are interwoven with issues in Pangaea, Orogeny, Carboniferous and Early Triassic.

His most cited work include:

  • Early Permian Pangea 'B' to Late Permian Pangea 'A" (290 citations)
  • Onset of major Pleistocene glaciations in the Alps (192 citations)
  • Tethyan magnetostratigraphy from Pizzo Mondello (Sicily) and correlation to the Late Triassic Newark astrochronological polarity time scale (173 citations)

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

Paleontology, Magnetostratigraphy, Paleomagnetism, Biostratigraphy and Section are his primary areas of study. All of his Paleontology and Permian, Conodont, Pleistocene, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point and Sedimentary rock investigations are sub-components of the entire Paleontology study. His Permian research incorporates themes from Gondwana, Carboniferous and Paleozoic.

His Magnetostratigraphy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sediment, Ladinian and Sequence. His research in the fields of Apparent polar wander overlaps with other disciplines such as Clockwise. His studies deal with areas such as Outcrop, Sedimentary Geology and Stratigraphy as well as Biostratigraphy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (82.44%)
  • Magnetostratigraphy (31.71%)
  • Paleomagnetism (22.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Paleontology (82.44%)
  • Magnetostratigraphy (31.71%)
  • Paleomagnetism (22.93%)

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

Giovanni Muttoni spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Magnetostratigraphy, Paleomagnetism, Pleistocene and Section. Paleontology is represented through his Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Stage, Biostratigraphy, Sedimentary rock and Permian research. His Biostratigraphy study incorporates themes from Ammonite, Marl, Chronology and Carboniferous.

His Permian study combines topics in areas such as Gondwana and Latitude. His Magnetostratigraphy research includes themes of Stratigraphy, Cave and Conodont. Giovanni Muttoni interconnects Paleocurrent, Longitude and Morrison Formation, Cretaceous in the investigation of issues within Paleomagnetism.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Astrochronostratigraphic polarity time scale (APTS) for the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic from continental sediments and correlation with standard marine stages (73 citations)
  • Geothermal energy and the public: A case study on deliberative citizens’ engagement in central Italy (34 citations)
  • The Pignola‐Abriola section (southern Apennines, Italy): a new GSSP candidate for the base of the Rhaetian Stage (26 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics

Giovanni Muttoni mainly focuses on Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Magnetostratigraphy, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point and Stage. Paleontology connects with themes related to Carbon cycle in his study. His research integrates issues of Promontory and Morrison Formation in his study of Paleomagnetism.

His research in Magnetostratigraphy tackles topics such as Conodont which are related to areas like Ladinian, Geochronology, Geologic time scale and Zircon. His Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stratotype, Stratigraphy and Carbonate compensation depth. The Polarity chron study combines topics in areas such as Early Pleistocene, Pleistocene, Interglacial and Ecosystem.
