What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Sediment
- Erosion
His scientific interests lie mostly in Contourite, Geomorphology, Facies, Paleontology and Sedimentary rock.
Contourite is the subject of his research, which falls under Sedimentary depositional environment.
His is doing research in Turbidity current and Turbidite, both of which are found in Geomorphology.
His Turbidity current study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sediment transport, Submarine pipeline, Continental shelf, Deposition and Sedimentology.
His Turbidite research is under the purview of Sediment.
Jean-Claude Faugères interconnects Remote sensing and Lithology in the investigation of issues within Sedimentary rock.
His most cited work include:
- Marine hyperpycnal flows: initiation, behavior and related deposits. A review (612 citations)
- Seismic features diagnostic of contourite drifts (463 citations)
- Bottom currents, contourites and deep-sea sediment drifts: current state-of-the-art (211 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jean-Claude Faugères mainly focuses on Geomorphology, Sedimentary rock, Paleontology, Contourite and Facies.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Geomorphology, Accretionary wedge is strongly linked to Geochemistry.
His Sedimentary rock research incorporates themes from Glacial period, Sedimentation, Oceanography and Continental margin.
His Contourite study combines topics in areas such as Antarctic Bottom Water, Thermohaline circulation and Bathymetry.
The Facies study combines topics in areas such as Nepheloid layer and Slumping.
His Turbidite research integrates issues from Deep sea, Hummocky cross-stratification, Quaternary and River mouth.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (52.94%)
- Sedimentary rock (44.12%)
- Paleontology (38.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2011)?
- Paleontology (38.24%)
- Contourite (35.29%)
- Facies (29.41%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Jean-Claude Faugères mostly deals with Paleontology, Contourite, Facies, Sedimentary rock and Geomorphology.
Jean-Claude Faugères works in the field of Paleontology, focusing on Hummocky cross-stratification in particular.
His Contourite study is related to the wider topic of Sedimentary depositional environment.
His Facies research includes themes of Outcrop, Sequence and Thermohaline circulation.
Jean-Claude Faugères combines subjects such as Neogene and Bouma sequence, Turbidity current with his study of Sedimentary rock.
His research in Geomorphology intersects with topics in Sea level and Alluvial plain.
Between 2007 and 2011, his most popular works were:
- Chapter 13 Contourite Facies and the Facies Model (98 citations)
- Contourite drifts: nature, evolution and controls (74 citations)
- Hummocky cross-stratification-like structures in deep-sea turbidites: Upper Cretaceous Basque basins (Western Pyrenees, France) (67 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Sediment
- Erosion
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Contourite, Context, Homogeneous and Sequence.
Jean-Claude Faugères studies Paleontology, namely Bouma sequence.
His Bouma sequence study is focused on Geomorphology in general.
While working on this project, he studies both Context and Facies.
His Flysch research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary structures, Hummocky cross-stratification and Turbidity current.
