Guang Rong Shi

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Paleontology
• Ecology
• Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Permian, Extinction event, Fauna and Gondwana. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Paleontology and South china in his research. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Boreal, Temperate climate, Biogeography and Terrane, which intersect with Permian.

His work on Permian–Triassic extinction event as part of general Extinction event research is frequently linked to Isotopes of strontium, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Guang Rong Shi focuses mostly in the field of Gondwana, narrowing it down to topics relating to Glacial period and, in certain cases, Range, Peninsula, Suture and Rift. Guang Rong Shi interconnects Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Section and Hindeodus in the investigation of issues within Conodont.

His most cited work include:

• Multivariate data analysis in palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography—a review (234 citations)
• End-Permian catastrophe by a bolide impact: Evidence of a gigantic release of sulfur from the mantle (215 citations)
• Distribution and characteristics of mixed (transitional) mid-Permian (Late Artinskian—Ufimian) marine faunas in Asia and their palaeogeographical implications (147 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Permian, Fauna, Extinction event and South china. His study in Paleontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and China. His work focuses on many connections between China and other disciplines, such as Carboniferous, that overlap with his field of interest in Devonian and Rift.

His study explores the link between Permian and topics such as Terrane that cross with problems in Biogeography. His Fauna research includes themes of Assemblage, Block, Temperate climate and Group. Guang Rong Shi combines subjects such as Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Trace fossil and Facies with his study of Extinction event.

He most often published in these fields:

• Paleontology (97.55%)
• Permian (79.90%)
• Fauna (28.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

• Paleontology (97.55%)
• Permian (79.90%)
• Extinction event (20.59%)

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

Guang Rong Shi spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Permian, Extinction event, Trace fossil and Fauna. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Permian–Triassic extinction event and Paleontology. Guang Rong Shi incorporates Permian and South china in his studies.

His Extinction event research incorporates elements of Ecology, Anoxic waters, Bioturbation, Thalassinoides and Marine ecosystem. His work carried out in the field of Trace fossil brings together such families of science as Sedimentary structures, Rhizocorallium and Clastic rock. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Fauna, concentrating on Glacial period and intersecting with Water column.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Late Permian marine ecosystem collapse began in deeper waters: evidence from brachiopod diversity and body size changes (43 citations)
• Early Triassic (early Olenekian) life in the interior of East Gondwana: mixed marine–terrestrial biota from the Kockatea Shale, Western Australia (37 citations)
• Fluctuations of redox conditions across the Permian–Triassic boundary—New evidence from the GSSP section in Meishan of South China (37 citations)

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

• Paleontology
• Ecology
• Sedimentary rock

Guang Rong Shi focuses on Paleontology, Permian, Extinction event, Permian–Triassic extinction event and Ecology. The various areas that Guang Rong Shi examines in his Paleontology study include Subtropics, Paleoclimatology and Pyrite. Permian and South china are two areas of study in which Guang Rong Shi engages in interdisciplinary research.

His Extinction event research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Trace fossil, Facies and Anoxic waters. His Permian–Triassic extinction event study incorporates themes from Bathyal zone, Bathymetry, Species diversity and Oxygen minimum zone. His studies examine the connections between Ecology and genetics, as well as such issues in Acritarch, with regards to Foraminifera, Claraia, Biotope and Ecological succession.
