What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Seismology, Geochemistry, Crust and Foreland basin.
His Paleontology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Geomorphology.
As a part of the same scientific family, Lothar Ratschbacher mostly works in the field of Seismology, focusing on Shear and, on occasion, Transpression and Sinistral and dextral.
His Geochemistry research focuses on Craton and how it connects with Orogeny.
His studies deal with areas such as Mantle, Gneiss and Tectonics, Lithosphere as well as Crust.
He combines subjects such as Compression, Orocline and Collision zone with his study of Foreland basin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (34.33%)
- Seismology (28.36%)
- Geochemistry (21.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Paleontology (34.33%)
- Seismology (28.36%)
- Crust (19.40%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Lothar Ratschbacher mainly focuses on Paleontology, Seismology, Crust, Geochemistry and Lithosphere.
The Foreland basin, Fold, Cenozoic and Nappe research he does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Plateau, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Lothar Ratschbacher has researched Foreland basin in several fields, including Provenance and Décollement.
His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Slab and Slip.
His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thermochronology, Tectonics, Shear zone, Continental collision and Mantle.
His Lithosphere research focuses on subjects like Deformation, which are linked to Paleozoic.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Deep India meets deep Asia: Lithospheric indentation, delamination and break-off under Pamir and Hindu Kush (Central Asia) (91 citations)
- Seismotectonics of the Pamir (79 citations)
- Titanite petrochronology of the Pamir gneiss domes: Implications for middle to deep crust exhumation and titanite closure to Pb and Zr diffusion (68 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Tectonics
His main research concerns Seismology, Crust, Paleontology, Tectonics and Shear zone.
His Seismology study often links to related topics such as Cenozoic.
His Crust study combines topics in areas such as Mantle, Metamorphism, Lithosphere and Clockwise.
His Paleontology study typically links adjacent topics like Geomorphology.
Lothar Ratschbacher usually deals with Shear zone and limits it to topics linked to Paleogene and Imbrication, Nappe and Neogene.
His study looks at the relationship between Foreland basin and fields such as Fission track dating, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
