What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Sediment
Paleontology, Sequence stratigraphy, Sequence, Facies and Deposition are his primary areas of study. His Transgressive, Sedimentary depositional environment, Fluvial, Unconformity and Turbidite investigations are all subjects of Paleontology research. His Sedimentary depositional environment research incorporates themes from Foreland basin, Sinuosity and Striation.
His Sequence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stratigraphic section, Bounding overwatch and Stratigraphy. His study focuses on the intersection of Facies and fields such as Quaternary with connections in the field of Subaerial, Sea level and Shore. The Subaerial study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock and Geomorphology.
His most cited work include:
- An Overview of the Fundamentals of Sequence Stratigraphy and Key Definitions (1385 citations)
- Eustatic Controls on Clastic Deposition I—conceptual Framework (1071 citations)
- Eustatic Controls on Clastic Deposition II—sequence and Systems Tract Models (1066 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Sequence stratigraphy and Facies. Paleontology is often connected to Sea level in his work. His work in the fields of Structural basin and Fluvial overlaps with other areas such as Communication channel.
His work in Sedimentary depositional environment tackles topics such as Turbidite which are related to areas like Overbank and Turbidity current. His research investigates the connection between Sequence stratigraphy and topics such as Siliciclastic that intersect with problems in Petroleum geology. Henry W. Posamentier usually deals with Facies and limits it to topics linked to Sedimentary rock and Sinuosity.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (47.92%)
- Geomorphology (34.38%)
- Sedimentary depositional environment (27.08%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?
- Paleontology (47.92%)
- Geomorphology (34.38%)
- Sedimentary depositional environment (27.08%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Paleontology, Geomorphology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Sequence and Sequence stratigraphy. His research brings together the fields of Bay and Paleontology. His work in the fields of Geomorphology, such as Outcrop and Aggradation, overlaps with other areas such as Communication channel and Carbonate.
He combines subjects such as Continental shelf, Petroleum exploration, Quaternary and Fluvial with his study of Sedimentary depositional environment. Henry W. Posamentier interconnects Facies and Stratigraphy in the investigation of issues within Sequence. Henry W. Posamentier merges Sequence stratigraphy with Nomenclature in his research.
Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy (883 citations)
- Reply to the comments of W. Helland-Hansen on "Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy" by Catuneanu et al. (Earth-Sciences Review 92(2009)1-33) (812 citations)
- Sequence stratigraphy: methodology and nomenclature (467 citations)
