What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Volcano
His primary scientific interests are in Structural basin, Pleistocene, Rift, Paleontology and East African Rift.
Jean-Jacques Tiercelin combines subjects such as Arid, Glacial lake, Glacial period and Shrub with his study of Pleistocene.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Radiocarbon dating, Triple junction, Oceanography, Shore and Proterozoic.
His research integrates issues of Outcrop and Holocene in his study of Shore.
His East African Rift study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock and Volcanic rock.
His Sedimentary rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rift valley and Basement.
His most cited work include:
- Tectonic Uplift and Eastern Africa Aridification (324 citations)
- New palaeogeographic and lake-level reconstructions of Lake Tanganyika: implications for tectonic, climatic and biological evolution in a rift lake (149 citations)
- The Ziway–Shala lake basin system, Main Ethiopian Rift: Influence of volcanism, tectonics, and climatic forcing on basin formation and sedimentation (105 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jean-Jacques Tiercelin spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Rift, Geochemistry, East African Rift and Structural basin.
His Paleontology research focuses on Human evolution and how it relates to Paleoclimatology, Stone tool, Paleoanthropology and Homo sapiens.
His research in Rift intersects with topics in Outcrop, Alluvial fan, Oceanography and Fluvial.
In his research on the topic of Geochemistry, Subaerial, Hot spring and Hydrology is strongly related with Rift valley.
His work in East African Rift covers topics such as Hydrothermal circulation which are related to areas like Carbonate minerals and Rift zone.
His Sedimentary rock research integrates issues from Sediment and Geomorphology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (48.91%)
- Rift (45.65%)
- Geochemistry (32.61%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?
- Paleontology (48.91%)
- Rift (45.65%)
- East African Rift (23.91%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Jean-Jacques Tiercelin mainly investigates Paleontology, Rift, East African Rift, Structural basin and Sedimentary rock.
Jean-Jacques Tiercelin regularly links together related areas like Permafrost in his Paleontology studies.
His research on Rift frequently links to adjacent areas such as Holocene.
His study in East African Rift is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alluvial fan, Half-graben, Archaeology and Cretaceous.
His Sedimentary rock research incorporates themes from Storm, Sediment, Geomorphology and Shore.
His biological study deals with issues like Geochemistry, which deal with fields such as Tufa and Hot spring.
Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- East African mid-Holocene wet–dry transition recorded in palaeo-shorelines of Lake Turkana, northern Kenya Rift (100 citations)
- Lake Ohrid, Albania, provides an exceptional multi-proxy record of environmental changes during the last glacial-interglacial cycle (73 citations)
- Impact of lake-level changes on the formation of thermogene travertine in continental rifts: Evidence from Lake Bogoria, Kenya Rift Valley (56 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Volcano
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Structural basin, Holocene, Rift and Rift valley.
His work in the fields of Neogene and Paleogene overlaps with other areas such as Vertebrate.
His research in Holocene focuses on subjects like Palynology, which are connected to Paleoclimatology and Climate change.
The concepts of his Paleoclimatology study are interwoven with issues in Deglaciation, Quaternary, Interglacial and Physical geography.
He undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Rift and Context in his work.
Jean-Jacques Tiercelin has researched Rift valley in several fields, including Geochemistry, Subaerial, Hot spring, Geomorphology and Human evolution.
