Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Genus

His main research concerns Paleontology, Gondwana, Structural basin, Sedimentary basin and Sequence stratigraphy. His work on Paleontology deals in particular with Facies, Paleozoic, Subduction, Permian and Foreland basin. His Facies study incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment and Unconformity.

His work in Gondwana addresses issues such as Rift, which are connected to fields such as Orogeny, Zircon and Continental margin. His research investigates the connection with Sedimentary basin and areas like Provenance which intersect with concerns in Clastic rock, Diagenesis and Felsic. His Sequence stratigraphy study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Sedimentary basin analysis and Cretaceous.

His most cited work include:

  • The Neuquén Basin: an overview (233 citations)
  • Late Triassic-Early Jurassic continental extension in southwestern Gondwana; tectonic segmentation and pre-break-up rifting (189 citations)
  • Mesozoic break-up of SW Gondwana: implications for regional hydrocarbon potential of the southern South Atlantic (147 citations)

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

Paleontology, Facies, Structural basin, Gondwana and Sedimentary rock are his primary areas of study. Paleozoic, Sequence stratigraphy, Cretaceous, Permian and Sedimentary basin are the core of his Paleontology study. His study looks at the relationship between Facies and fields such as Fluvial, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His study on Structural basin is covered under Geomorphology. His Geomorphology course of study focuses on Back-arc basin and Foreland basin. His work carried out in the field of Gondwana brings together such families of science as Rift and Mesozoic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (51.91%)
  • Facies (24.43%)
  • Structural basin (19.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Paleontology (51.91%)
  • Sedimentary depositional environment (15.27%)
  • Geochemistry (15.27%)

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

Luis Antonio Spalletti spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Geochemistry, Facies and Siliciclastic. His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Gondwana and Plesiosauria. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedimentary rock, Clastic rock, Pennsylvanian and Archaeology.

His studies deal with areas such as Silt, Aeolian processes, Compaction, Lamination and Cuesta as well as Geochemistry. Luis Antonio Spalletti works mostly in the field of Facies, limiting it down to concerns involving Marl and, occasionally, Lithology, Mineralogy, Illite and Oil shale. His study in Siliciclastic is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Terrigenous sediment and Cretaceous.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Depositional controls on mixed carbonate–siliciclastic cycles and sequences on gently inclined shelf profiles (31 citations)
  • Expanding the spectrum of shallow-marine, mixed carbonate–siliciclastic systems: processes, facies distribution and depositional controls of a siliciclastic-dominated example (27 citations)
  • Climatically Versus Eustatically Controlled, Sediment-Supply-Driven Cycles: Carbonate–Siliciclastic, High-Frequency Sequences In the Valanginian of the Neuquén Basin (Argentina) (19 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Genus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Facies, Carbonate and Siliciclastic. His study in the field of Gondwana, Permian and Paleozoic is also linked to topics like Pliosaurus and Mandibular symphysis. His Gondwana research includes elements of Basement, Period, Red beds and Carboniferous.

When carried out as part of a general Sedimentary depositional environment research project, his work on Sequence stratigraphy is frequently linked to work in Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Luis Antonio Spalletti has included themes like Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Anticline and Petrology in his Sequence stratigraphy study. His Facies study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Cretaceous.
