What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Genus
Jonathan C. Aitchison spends much of his time researching Terrane, Paleontology, Subduction, Geochemistry and Ophiolite.
His Terrane research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary rock, Metamorphism, Carboniferous and Paleozoic.
His study in Suture, Gondwana, Tectonics, Plate tectonics and Biogeography falls within the category of Paleontology.
He focuses mostly in the field of Suture, narrowing it down to matters related to Cretaceous and, in some cases, Radiolaria and Mesozoic.
His work carried out in the field of Tectonics brings together such families of science as Paleogene, East Asia and Clastic rock.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Geochemistry, concentrating on Petrology and intersecting with Chromite.
His most cited work include:
- When and where did India and Asia collide (608 citations)
- Gondwana to Asia: plate tectonics, paleogeography and the biological connectivity of the Indian sub-continent from the Middle Jurassic through latest Eocene (166-35 Ma) (366 citations)
- Remnants of a Cretaceous intra-oceanic subduction system within the Yarlung-Zangbo suture (southern Tibet) (262 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Jonathan C. Aitchison focuses on Paleontology, Terrane, Geochemistry, Ophiolite and Suture.
Cretaceous, Tectonics, Paleozoic, Subduction and Devonian are among the areas of Paleontology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
His studies deal with areas such as Carboniferous, Gondwana, Island arc and Volcanic rock as well as Terrane.
Jonathan C. Aitchison has included themes like Batholith and Petrology in his Geochemistry study.
The various areas that Jonathan C. Aitchison examines in his Ophiolite study include Earth science, Forearc, Geomorphology, Oceanic crust and Pillow lava.
Jonathan C. Aitchison has researched Suture in several fields, including Sedimentary rock, Clastic rock, Biostratigraphy and Molasse.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (58.00%)
- Terrane (23.33%)
- Geochemistry (23.67%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Paleontology (58.00%)
- Geochemistry (23.67%)
- Ophiolite (19.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Jonathan C. Aitchison mostly deals with Paleontology, Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Ordovician and Subduction.
Paleontology and Fauna are frequently intertwined in his study.
His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Batholith, Continental collision and Suture.
His Ophiolite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Metamorphism, Passive margin, Island arc and Continental margin.
Taxonomy and Radiolaria is closely connected to Taxon in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ordovician.
Jonathan C. Aitchison interconnects Massif, Faunal assemblage, Oceanic basin and Seamount in the investigation of issues within Subduction.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Lajishankou Ophiolite Complex: Implications for Paleozoic Multiple Accretionary and Collisional Events in the South Qilian Belt (30 citations)
- The Spongtang Massif in Ladakh, NW Himalaya: An Early Cretaceous record of spontaneous, intra-oceanic subduction initiation in the Neotethys (22 citations)
- Accumulation of vulnerabilities in the aftermath of the 2015 Nepal earthquake: Household displacement, livelihood changes and recovery challenges (22 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Genus
Paleontology, Ophiolite, Ordovician, Geochemistry and Structural basin are his primary areas of study.
His work deals with themes such as Fauna and Plankton, which intersect with Paleontology.
His Ophiolite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subduction, Island arc, Passive margin and Terrane.
Jonathan C. Aitchison studies Geochemistry, focusing on Zircon in particular.
His Zircon research focuses on Sedimentary depositional environment and how it connects with Suture.
In his research on the topic of Structural basin, Global cooling, Foreland basin, Tectonics, Detritus and Basement is strongly related with Plateau.
