Overview

Leonid E. Popov is affiliated with Cardiff University in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily falls within the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on paleontology, geophysics, atmospheric science, oceanography, and geology. Their scholarly work covers topics related to the paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils, geology and paleoclimatology research, geological and geochemical analysis, geological studies and exploration, marine biology and ecology research, as well as geological formations and processes.

Popov's notable recent publications include:

  • "The oldest Cambrian trilobite - brachiopod association in South China" (2020, Gondwana Research)
  • "Stratigraphic and volcanic signatures of Miaolingian-Late Ordovician rift pulses in the Alborz Mountains, northern Iran" (2022, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences)
  • "The identity and significance of the high-latitude Early Ordovician Mediterranean brachiopod Province" (2021, Geological Magazine)
  • "Climatic changes and astrochronology: an Ordovician perspective" (2020, Spectrum Research Repository, Concordia University)
  • "Ordovician of Kazakhstan" (2023, Geological Society London Special Publications)

Popov has frequently collaborated with several co-authors, including Mansoureh Ghobadi Pour, Lars E. Holmer, Zhifei Zhang, L. Robin M. Cocks, and Yue Liang. These collaborations reflect an interdisciplinary approach to the research topics.

Their work has appeared in a range of publication venues, with multiple papers published in the Geological Society London Special Publications, Geological Magazine, Journal of Paleontology, Papers in Palaeontology, and Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences Geology.

In addition to journal articles, Popov has contributed to book publications, notably with Wiley, including the book "A mid-Ordovician brachiopod evolutionary hotspot in southern Kazakhstan" published in 2021.
