What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Erosion
- Sediment
Jacob A. Covault mainly investigates Turbidite, Sedimentary depositional environment, Paleontology, Geomorphology and Submarine pipeline.
His study looks at the intersection of Turbidite and topics like Turbidity current with Aggradation, Channelized, Erosion and Sediment gravity flow.
Jacob A. Covault works mostly in the field of Sedimentary depositional environment, limiting it down to topics relating to Sediment transport and, in certain cases, Littoral zone and Radiocarbon dating, as a part of the same area of interest.
His study in the fields of Structural basin under the domain of Paleontology overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.
His studies deal with areas such as Monterey Canyon and Bedform as well as Submarine pipeline.
Within one scientific family, Jacob A. Covault focuses on topics pertaining to Canyon under Bedform, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Oceanography.
His most cited work include:
- Environmental signal propagation in sedimentary systems across timescales (223 citations)
- Architecture of turbidite channel systems on the continental slope: Patterns and predictions (206 citations)
- Highstand fans in the California borderland: The overlooked deep-water depositional systems (164 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jacob A. Covault spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Geomorphology, Structural basin, Sedimentary depositional environment and Sediment.
His research investigates the connection between Geomorphology and topics such as Submarine that intersect with problems in Seismology.
The various areas that Jacob A. Covault examines in his Structural basin study include Hydrology and Bathymetry.
His work deals with themes such as Continental shelf, Oceanography, Submarine pipeline and Mass wasting, which intersect with Sedimentary depositional environment.
His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Denudation, Erosion, Geochemistry and Continental margin.
Many of his research projects under Sedimentary rock are closely connected to Context with Context, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
