Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Sediment

Provenance, Sediment, Erosion, Sedimentary rock and Detritus are his primary areas of study. His Provenance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Denudation, Recrystallization, Mineralogy and Geomorphology. His study on Petrography is often connected to Grid as part of broader study in Mineralogy.

His Sediment research integrates issues from Geochemistry, Silt and Fluvial. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Structural basin, Plateau, Tectonics and Physical geography. His Detritus study is associated with Paleontology.

His most cited work include:

  • Timing of India‐Asia collision: Geological, biostratigraphic, and palaeomagnetic constraints (431 citations)
  • Grain-size dependence of sediment composition and environmental bias in provenance studies (206 citations)
  • Orogenic belts and orogenic sediment provenance (183 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Provenance, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock and Detritus. His work carried out in the field of Provenance brings together such families of science as Subduction, Metamorphic rock, Sediment, Geomorphology and Petrography. His Sediment research incorporates themes from Silt and Erosion.

His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tectonics, Mineralogy, Petrology and Fluvial. His Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Siliciclastic, Volcanic rock, Rift, Weathering and Zircon. He has included themes like Clastic rock, Penninic, Heavy mineral, Basement and Facies in his Detritus study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Provenance (50.45%)
  • Geochemistry (47.75%)
  • Paleontology (33.33%)

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

  • Paleontology (33.33%)
  • Provenance (50.45%)
  • Geochemistry (47.75%)

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

Giovanni Vezzoli mainly focuses on Paleontology, Provenance, Geochemistry, Detritus and Structural basin. His work on Cenozoic as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Margin, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies deal with areas such as Siliciclastic and Turbidite as well as Provenance.

His research investigates the connection between Geochemistry and topics such as Deep sea that intersect with issues in Passive margin. His research integrates issues of Metamorphic rock, Fluvial, Heavy mineral, Rock fragment and Alluvial plain in his study of Detritus. His Neogene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fission track dating and Paleogene.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The initiation and evolution of the River Nile (34 citations)
  • Palaeodrainage evolution of the large rivers of East Asia, and Himalayan-Tibet tectonics (25 citations)
  • Dynamic uplift, recycling, and climate control on the petrology of passive-margin sand (Angola) (22 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Provenance, Detritus, Paleontology, Drainage basin and Cenozoic. His research in Provenance is mostly concerned with Heavy mineral. His work in Continental margin addresses issues such as Terrigenous sediment, which are connected to fields such as Petrology.

The various areas that he examines in his Siliciclastic study include Foreland basin, Sediment transport, Ophiolite and Geochemistry. The Fission track dating study combines topics in areas such as Neogene, Structural basin and Paleogene. His Basement research incorporates elements of Pleistocene and Delta.
