What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
- Igneous rock
His main research concerns Paleontology, Paleozoic, Ophiolite, Terrane and Gondwana.
José R. Martínez Catalán works in the field of Paleontology, namely Subduction.
José R. Martínez Catalán focuses mostly in the field of Paleozoic, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ordovician and, in certain cases, Provenance.
He has included themes like Geochemistry, Devonian, Massif, Zircon and Lithosphere in his Ophiolite study.
His studies link Suture with Terrane.
His work in Gondwana addresses subjects such as Continental margin, which are connected to disciplines such as Accretionary complex.
His most cited work include:
- Space and time in the tectonic evolution of the northwestern Iberian Massif: Implications for the Variscan belt (204 citations)
- Variscan accretionary complex of northwest Iberia: Terrane correlation and succession of tectonothermal events (182 citations)
- A rootless suture and the loss of the roots of a mountain chain: The Variscan belt of NW Iberia (179 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Massif, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Terrane and Petrology.
His work deals with themes such as Crenulation, Ophiolite, Structural geology and Thrust fault, which intersect with Massif.
All of his Paleontology and Gondwana, Subduction, Suture, Paleozoic and Devonian investigations are sub-components of the entire Paleontology study.
As a member of one scientific family, José R. Martínez Catalán mostly works in the field of Gondwana, focusing on Continental margin and, on occasion, Laurentia and Accretionary complex.
While the research belongs to areas of Suture, he spends his time largely on the problem of Orocline, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Strike-slip tectonics.
His studies deal with areas such as Nappe, Shear zone and Crust as well as Petrology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Massif (31.11%)
- Geochemistry (30.00%)
- Paleontology (28.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Geochemistry (30.00%)
- Zircon (16.67%)
- Magnetic anomaly (8.89%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
José R. Martínez Catalán focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Magnetic anomaly, Allochthon and Massif.
His Geochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nappe and Terrane.
His Terrane study combines topics in areas such as Assemblage, Devonian, Ophiolite and Protolith.
His Zircon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Provenance and Geochronology.
His Allochthon research focuses on Petrology and how it connects with Shear zone and Sedimentary rock.
His Massif research incorporates themes from Gondwana and Crust.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Relationships between syn-orogenic sedimentation and nappe emplacement in the hinterland of the Variscan belt in NW Iberia deduced from detrital zircons (20 citations)
- Correlation of allochthonous terranes and major tectonostratigraphic domains between NW Iberia and the Bohemian Massif, European Variscan belt (17 citations)
- Structural and microstructural analysis of the Retortillo Syncline (Variscan belt, Central Iberia). Implications for the Central Iberian Orocline (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Tectonics
- Igneous rock
His primary scientific interests are in Seismology, Geochemistry, Extensional definition, Terrane and Allochthon.
In his work, Evaporite and Sedimentary rock is strongly intertwined with Fold, which is a subfield of Seismology.
Geochemistry is closely attributed to Nappe in his study.
The various areas that José R. Martínez Catalán examines in his Nappe study include Andalusite, Metamorphic rock, Orocline, Syncline and Paleozoic.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Terrane, Passive margin are connected with Petrology and other disciplines.
His Allochthon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metamorphism, Protolith, Massif, Devonian and Gondwana.
