What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Ecology
His main research concerns Paleontology, Basement, Plateau, Provenance and Zircon.
His research ties Ice sheet and Paleontology together.
His Basement study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary basin, Foreland basin and Craton.
His work carried out in the field of Plateau brings together such families of science as Structural basin, Deposition and Neogene.
His Structural basin research includes themes of Biomass and Arid.
His work in Provenance addresses issues such as Sedimentary rock, which are connected to fields such as Erosion, Physical geography, Denudation and Sediment.
His most cited work include:
- Loess Plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan Plateau-derived Yellow River sediment. (182 citations)
- Linking sedimentation in the northern Andes to basement configuration, Mesozoic extension, and Cenozoic shortening: Evidence from detrital zircon U-Pb ages, Eastern Cordillera, Colombia (127 citations)
- The late Miocene through present paleoelevation history of southwestern Tibet (126 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Structural basin, Provenance, Plateau and Geomorphology.
His is doing research in Cretaceous, Late Miocene, Cenozoic, Tectonics and Paleogene, both of which are found in Paleontology.
Joel E. Saylor studies Structural basin, namely Neogene.
His Neogene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arid, Massif and Biomass.
Joel E. Saylor has researched Provenance in several fields, including Sedimentary basin, Sedimentary rock, Foreland basin, Sediment and Basement.
His work deals with themes such as Physical geography and Progradation, which intersect with Plateau.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (66.23%)
- Structural basin (44.16%)
- Provenance (31.17%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Paleontology (66.23%)
- Provenance (31.17%)
- Geochemistry (16.88%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Provenance, Geochemistry, Structural basin and Plateau.
His research related to Cretaceous, Stratigraphy, Late Miocene, Cenozoic and Lithosphere might be considered part of Paleontology.
His Provenance research incorporates elements of Foreland basin, Sediment transport and Laurentia.
His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Frontier, Sediment and Collision zone.
His research in Structural basin focuses on subjects like Tectonophysics, which are connected to Chronology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Sedimentation and Hydrology.
Plateau is closely attributed to Weathering in his work.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Magnetic polarity stratigraphy, provenance, and paleoclimate analysis of Cenozoic strata in the Qaidam Basin, NE Tibetan Plateau (29 citations)
- Characterizing sediment sources by non-negative matrix factorization of detrital geochronological data (15 citations)
- Implications of variable late Cenozoic surface uplift across the Peruvian central Andes (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Ecology
Joel E. Saylor mainly focuses on Cenozoic, Provenance, Paleontology, Geochemistry and Plateau.
His Cenozoic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Drainage basin, Lithosphere, Mantle and Orographic lift.
His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Orogeny, Sediment transport and Pennsylvanian in his study of Provenance.
Volcano, Permian and Laurentia are among the areas of Paleontology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sediment, Isotope analysis and Ecological succession.
His Plateau research includes elements of Structural basin and Stratigraphy.
