What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
His scientific interests lie mostly in Seismology, Geomorphology, Seafloor spreading, Plate tectonics and Oceanic crust.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Estuary and Continental shelf.
His Continental shelf research incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment, Sedimentary rock, Sediment transport and Sea level.
As a part of the same scientific study, James A. Austin usually deals with the Seafloor spreading, concentrating on Transtension and frequently concerns with Triple junction and Slab window.
His Plate tectonics study incorporates themes from Transform fault, Basement and Holocene.
His Oceanic crust study is concerned with Paleontology in general.
His most cited work include:
- Deep structure of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin, offshore South Carolina, from coincident ocean bottom and multichannel seismic data (119 citations)
- Continental margin sedimentation : from sediment transport to sequence stratigraphy (115 citations)
- Continental-Oceanic Crustal Transition Off Southwest Africa (109 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
James A. Austin spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Continental shelf, Geomorphology, Seismology and Oceanography.
His Continental shelf study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sediment transport, Quaternary, Continental margin, Sedimentary depositional environment and Stratigraphy.
His Continental margin research focuses on subjects like Passive margin, which are linked to Clastic wedge.
His work deals with themes such as Seafloor spreading, Sea level and Bathymetry, which intersect with Geomorphology.
His work on Submarine pipeline expands to the thematically related Seismology.
His work in the fields of Holocene and Seabed overlaps with other areas such as Ocean exploration.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (38.10%)
- Continental shelf (26.19%)
- Geomorphology (23.81%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?
- Paleontology (38.10%)
- Oceanography (19.64%)
- Seismology (22.02%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
James A. Austin mostly deals with Paleontology, Oceanography, Seismology, Geomorphology and Bathymetry.
James A. Austin combines subjects such as Continental shelf and Peninsula with his study of Paleontology.
His Continental shelf research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glacial period and Siliciclastic.
James A. Austin usually deals with Oceanography and limits it to topics linked to Marine transgression and Inlet, Outwash plain, Facies and Last Glacial Maximum.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sequence stratigraphy and Submarine pipeline in addition to Seismology.
His work on Fluvial as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Base, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The impact of Hurricane Sandy on the shoreface and inner shelf of Fire Island, New York: Large bedform migration but limited erosion (26 citations)
- First Evidence for the Presence of Iron Oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria at the Levantine Continental Margins (24 citations)
- Crustal structure variations along the NW-African continental margin: A comparison of new and existing models from wide-angle and reflection seismic data (23 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
Seismology, Sediment, Subduction, Submarine pipeline and Oceanic crust are his primary areas of study.
His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neogene and Paleontology.
His studies deal with areas such as Continental shelf and Geophysical mapping as well as Paleontology.
His Sediment research incorporates themes from Ecology, Methane and Nautilus.
The Subduction study combines topics in areas such as Shear and Plate tectonics.
James A. Austin interconnects Passive margin, Rift, Continental crust and Plate reconstruction in the investigation of issues within Oceanic crust.
