Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Loren E. Babcock mostly deals with Paleontology, Stage, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Ecology and Permian. His Paleontology and Taphonomy, Cambrian Series 3, Chronostratigraphy, Gondwana and Trilobite investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities. His Trilobite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biostratigraphy and Biozone.

His research in Stage focuses on subjects like Series, which are connected to Stratotype. His research in Ecology tackles topics such as Burgess Shale which are related to areas like Fauna. His Permian research includes themes of Paleozoic, Glacier, Crayfish, Burrow and Tetrapod.

His most cited work include:

  • The Cambrian Period (292 citations)
  • Advances in Cambrian stratigraphy and paleontology: Integrating correlation techniques, paleobiology, taphonomy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction (216 citations)
  • The Geological Society of America Geologic Time Scale (144 citations)

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

Loren E. Babcock mainly focuses on Volume, Composite material, Paleontology, Stage and Trilobite. His work in Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Series, Stratotype, Taphonomy and Chronostratigraphy is related to Paleontology. Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point is a subfield of Section that he investigates.

As part of his studies on Taphonomy, Loren E. Babcock often connects relevant subjects like Lagerstätte. The various areas that he examines in his Stage study include Laurentia and China. Loren E. Babcock works on Trilobite which deals in particular with Cambrian Series 3.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Volume (49.22%)
  • Composite material (48.44%)
  • Paleontology (42.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Paleontology (42.58%)
  • Trilobite (10.55%)
  • Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (9.77%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Trilobite, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Taphonomy and Stage. Series, Laurentia, Trace fossil, Chronostratigraphy and Cambrian Series 2 are the primary areas of interest in his Paleontology study. His Trilobite study incorporates themes from Biostratigraphy and Genus, Type specimen.

Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point and Stratotype are commonly linked in his work. His Taphonomy study combines topics in areas such as Range, Lagerstätte and Lotagnostus. His research in Stage intersects with topics in Horizon and Acritarch.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Cambrian Period (292 citations)
  • The Geological Society of America Geologic Time Scale (144 citations)
  • Global Cambrian trilobite palaeobiogeography assessed using parsimony analysis of endemicity (44 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Trilobite, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Stratotype and Chronostratigraphy. His work deals with themes such as Hyolitha and Global Standard Stratigraphic Age, which intersect with Paleontology. His Trilobite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genus, Type specimen, Type species and Arthricocephalites.

His Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point research is classified as research in Stage. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glacial period, Period and Geologic time scale. Loren E. Babcock has included themes like Series, Cambrian Stage 3 and Cambrian Series 3 in his Cambrian Series 2 study.
