Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Joseph G. Meert mainly investigates Paleontology, Supercontinent, Rodinia, Gondwana and Craton. His Paleontology study focuses mostly on Paleomagnetism, Baltica, Apparent polar wander, Paleozoic and Tectonics. His study in Paleomagnetism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earth science and Geochronology.

His Supercontinent study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Laurentia. Joseph G. Meert has included themes like Precambrian, Mafic, Proterozoic and Zircon in his Rodinia study. His study explores the link between Gondwana and topics such as Orogeny that cross with problems in Mozambique Belt and Terrane.

His most cited work include:

  • A synopsis of events related to the assembly of eastern Gondwana (766 citations)
  • Phanerozoic polar wander, palaeogeography and dynamics (707 citations)
  • Continental break-up and collision in the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic — A tale of Baltica and Laurentia (658 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Joseph G. Meert focuses on Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Geochemistry, Gondwana and Craton. Supercontinent, Rodinia, Laurentia, Baltica and Proterozoic are among the areas of Paleontology where Joseph G. Meert concentrates his study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleozoic, Precambrian, Tectonics and Geochronology.

As part of one scientific family, Joseph G. Meert deals mainly with the area of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Magmatism, and often Igneous rock. His work deals with themes such as Orogeny, Shear zone, Earth science and Mozambique Belt, which intersect with Gondwana. In his work, Polar wander and Aridification is strongly intertwined with True polar wander, which is a subfield of Apparent polar wander.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (69.10%)
  • Paleomagnetism (55.62%)
  • Geochemistry (30.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (30.34%)
  • Paleontology (69.10%)
  • Craton (22.47%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Joseph G. Meert mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Paleontology, Craton, Paleomagnetism and Archean. His research integrates issues of Magmatism and Terrane in his study of Geochemistry. His work on Supercontinent, True polar wander and Rodinia as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to East Asia, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Supercontinent research includes elements of Geochronology, Proterozoic and Tectonic zone. His Apparent polar wander study in the realm of Paleomagnetism connects with subjects such as Intersection. The various areas that he examines in his Zircon study include Orogeny and Gondwana.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Late Triassic intra-oceanic arc system within Neotethys: Evidence from cumulate appinite in the Gangdese belt, southern Tibet (24 citations)
  • Detrital Zircons Reveal Evidence of Hadean Crust in the Singhbhum Craton, India: A Reply (21 citations)
  • The magnificent seven: A proposal for modest revision of the Van der Voo (1990) quality index (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Large igneous province and Craton. His Geochemistry study which covers Terrane that intersects with Subduction and Lithosphere. His Paleontology study frequently links to other fields, such as Aridification.

His work carried out in the field of Paleomagnetism brings together such families of science as Permian, Tectonics and Plate reconstruction. His studies in Craton integrate themes in fields like Hadean, Mantle and Crust. Joseph G. Meert combines subjects such as Dharwar Craton, Granulite, Gondwana and Zircon with his study of Archean.
