Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

His primary scientific interests are in Archean, Paleontology, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock and Sedimentary depositional environment. His Archean research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metamorphic rock, Provenance, Proterozoic, Terrigenous sediment and Terrane. His Provenance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Felsic, Mafic, Igneous rock and Clastic rock.

His study in Siliciclastic, Precambrian, Group and Geologic record are all subfields of Paleontology. In general Geochemistry, his work in Volcanic rock, Greenstone belt, Crustal recycling and Zircon is often linked to Age distribution linking many areas of study. In his research on the topic of Sedimentary depositional environment, Continental shelf, Continental margin and Alluvium is strongly related with Facies.

His most cited work include:

  • Crustal Evolution of Southern Africa (333 citations)
  • Geochemistry of shales from the Archean (~3.0 Ga) Buhwa Greenstone Belt, Zimbabwe: Implications for provenance and source-area weathering (300 citations)
  • Crustal Evolution of Southern Africa: 3.8 Billion Years of Earth History (265 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Geochemistry, Facies, Sedimentary depositional environment and Sedimentary rock. His Geochemistry study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Geomorphology. His research in Facies focuses on subjects like Precambrian, which are connected to Geologic record.

In Sedimentary depositional environment, he works on issues like Diagenesis, which are connected to Illite. He studied Sedimentary rock and Rift that intersect with Continental margin. The Archean study combines topics in areas such as Felsic, Provenance, Terrigenous sediment, Gneiss and Terrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (55.07%)
  • Geochemistry (34.06%)
  • Facies (29.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (34.06%)
  • Paleontology (55.07%)
  • Sedimentary depositional environment (26.81%)

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

Geochemistry, Paleontology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Petrography and Dolomite are his primary areas of study. His study on Liptinite is often connected to Cementation as part of broader study in Geochemistry. Structural basin, Fluvial and Facies are the primary areas of interest in his Paleontology study.

His Structural basin study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock and Tectonics. His study explores the link between Facies and topics such as Late Devonian extinction that cross with problems in Alluvium. He interconnects Devonian and Sequence in the investigation of issues within Sedimentary depositional environment.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Depositional and diagenetic controls on deeply-buried Eocene sublacustrine fan reservoirs in the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China (17 citations)
  • Mineralogical influences on water quality from weathering of surface coal mine spoils (16 citations)
  • Fluid flow and related diagenetic processes in a rift basin: Evidence from the fourth member of the Eocene Shahejie Formation interval, Dongying depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China (14 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Paleontology

His main research concerns Anhydrite, Diagenesis, Sedimentary depositional environment, Paleontology and Sulfate. His Anhydrite research incorporates themes from Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Dolomite and Ankerite. His study in the field of Authigenic and Calcite is also linked to topics like Isotope fractionation.

His Sedimentary depositional environment research incorporates elements of Petrology, Tectonics, Petrography and Illite. His study in Paleozoic, Source rock, Onlap, Sedimentary rock and Rift falls within the category of Paleontology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chlorite, Kaolinite and Evaporite.
