Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Geomorphology

Janok P. Bhattacharya mainly focuses on Paleontology, Facies, Geomorphology, Sedimentary depositional environment and Fluvial. He has included themes like Storm and Oceanography in his Paleontology study. His studies deal with areas such as Outcrop and Cretaceous as well as Facies.

In general Geomorphology, his work in Alluvial fan is often linked to Context, River mouth and Noachian linking many areas of study. His work on Transgressive as part of general Sedimentary depositional environment research is often related to Longshore drift, thus linking different fields of science. As a member of one scientific family, Janok P. Bhattacharya mostly works in the field of Sequence stratigraphy, focusing on Stratigraphy and, on occasion, Stratigraphic section.

His most cited work include:

  • 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)
  • Wave-influenced deltas: geomorphological implications for facies reconstruction (379 citations)

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

Janok P. Bhattacharya mainly investigates Paleontology, Facies, Cretaceous, Geomorphology and Outcrop. His study in Paleontology concentrates on Fluvial, Sequence stratigraphy, Sequence, Foreland basin and Cenomanian. In his research on the topic of Facies, Geochemistry is strongly related with Sedimentary depositional environment.

His Cretaceous study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clastic wedge, Oil shale, Delta front and Transgressive. Geomorphology is frequently linked to Discharge in his study. His research in Outcrop intersects with topics in Paleocurrent, Tectonics and Mineralogy, Diagenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (60.31%)
  • Facies (45.04%)
  • Cretaceous (37.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Paleontology (60.31%)
  • Cretaceous (37.40%)
  • Facies (45.04%)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Cretaceous, Facies, Geomorphology and Outcrop. As part of his studies on Paleontology, he often connects relevant subjects like Sinuosity. His Cretaceous research incorporates elements of Geochemistry, Oil shale, Sequence and Hydrology.

His Facies research includes elements of Aggradation, Mineralogy and Tributary. In the subject of general Geomorphology, his work in Growth fault is often linked to Bedding and Mouth bar, thereby combining diverse domains of study. He interconnects Hyperspectral imaging, Sink, Diagenesis and Calcite in the investigation of issues within Outcrop.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Estimation of source area, river paleo-discharge, paleoslope, and sediment budgets of linked deep-time depositional systems and implications for hydrocarbon potential (93 citations)
  • Facies Architecture and Stratigraphic Evolution of A River-Dominated Delta Front, Turonian Ferron Sandstone, Utah, U.S.A. (52 citations)
  • Evaluating along-strike variation using thin-bedded facies analysis, Upper Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta, Utah (36 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Geomorphology

Janok P. Bhattacharya spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Geomorphology, Fluvial, Facies and Cretaceous. All of his Paleontology and Sedimentary depositional environment, Outcrop, Sequence stratigraphy and Sedimentary structures investigations are sub-components of the entire Paleontology study. His research integrates issues of Isopach map, Geologic time scale and Sequence in his study of Outcrop.

His work deals with themes such as Foreland basin and Reservoir modeling, which intersect with Fluvial. Janok P. Bhattacharya performs multidisciplinary study in Facies and Bedding in his work. His work in Cretaceous addresses issues such as Floodplain, which are connected to fields such as Cenomanian and Canyon.
