What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Oceanography
Her primary areas of study are Paleontology, Benthic zone, Paleogene, Foraminifera and Oceanography.
Laia Alegret performs multidisciplinary studies into Paleontology and Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in her work.
Her work investigates the relationship between Benthic zone and topics such as Fauna that intersect with problems in Deep sea and Clastic rock.
Her research on Paleogene often connects related areas such as Stage.
Laia Alegret conducted interdisciplinary study in her works that combined Foraminifera and Extinction event.
Much of her study explores Oceanography relationship to Ecosystem.
Her most cited work include:
- The Chicxulub Asteroid Impact and Mass Extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary (792 citations)
- The Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Danian Stage (Paleocene, Paleogene, "Tertiary", Cenozoic) at El Kef, Tunisia - Original definition and revision (143 citations)
- End-Cretaceous marine mass extinction not caused by productivity collapse (105 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Laia Alegret mostly deals with Paleontology, Benthic zone, Foraminifera, Oceanography and Paleogene.
Her work on Cretaceous, Biozone and Stratotype as part of her general Paleontology study is frequently connected to Extinction event and Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
The Benthic zone study combines topics in areas such as Abyssal zone, Seafloor spreading, Fauna and Plankton.
Laia Alegret interconnects Glacial period, Trace fossil, Terrigenous sediment and Turbidity current in the investigation of issues within Foraminifera.
Her research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Biota and Table.
Her Paleogene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cenozoic, Paleoclimatology, Pelagic zone, Ice sheet and Stratigraphy.
She most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (70.63%)
- Benthic zone (54.76%)
- Foraminifera (45.24%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Extinction event (21.43%)
- Paleogene (34.13%)
- Paleontology (70.63%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Extinction event, Paleogene, Paleontology, Benthic zone and Oceanography.
Her Extinction event research spans across into subjects like Cretaceous, Earth science and Carbon cycle.
Her Cretaceous research integrates issues from Marine productivity, Ecosystem and Biological pump.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including International Ocean Discovery Program, Subduction, Tectonics, Trough and Sea level.
Her Stratotype, Crust and Biostratigraphy study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Integrated approach.
Her study in the field of Foraminifera is also linked to topics like δ18O.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (48 citations)
- Rapid ocean acidification and protracted Earth system recovery followed the end-Cretaceous Chicxulub impact. (30 citations)
- Continental-scale geographic change across Zealandia during Paleogene subduction initiation (21 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Sedimentary rock
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Extinction event, Paleogene, Carbon cycle, Earth science and Paleontology.
Extinction event is integrated with Global warming, Global change and Oceanography in her study.
Her Global warming research includes elements of Bolide and Ice sheet.
She combines subjects such as Foraminifera and Marine productivity with her study of Paleogene.
Her work on Solubility pump as part of general Carbon cycle study is frequently linked to Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Her Paleontology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Sea level.
