Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics

Mario Boccaletti mainly investigates Paleontology, Seismology, Tectonics, Neogene and Extensional tectonics. His work on Thrust fault, Volcanism, Inversion and Plate tectonics as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Balearic islands, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Seismology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Quaternary.

His Tectonics research incorporates themes from Structural basin and Evaporite. Mario Boccaletti has researched Neogene in several fields, including Sedimentary basin, Back-arc basin, Clastic rock, Biostratigraphy and Magnetostratigraphy. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Extensional tectonics, Late Miocene, Subduction, Tethys Ocean and Asthenosphere is strongly linked to Foreland basin.

His most cited work include:

  • Plate Tectonic Models for the Development of the Western Alps and Northern Apennines (220 citations)
  • Palinspastic restoration and paleogeographic reconstruction of the peri-Tyrrhenian area during the Neogene (200 citations)
  • Late Neogene evolution of the Taza-Guercif Basin (Rifian Corridor, Morocco) and implications for the Messinian salinity crisis (181 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Seismology, Neogene, Tectonics and Structural basin. His work on Thrust fault, Foreland basin and Sedimentary rock as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study on Lithosphere, Fault and Sinistral and dextral is often connected to Oblique case as part of broader study in Seismology.

His Neogene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mediterranean climate, Shear zone, Back-arc basin and Continental margin. The various areas that Mario Boccaletti examines in his Tectonics study include Structural geology and Quaternary. His Structural basin study incorporates themes from Geochemistry and Cretaceous.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (52.54%)
  • Seismology (37.29%)
  • Neogene (32.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2016)?

  • Seismology (37.29%)
  • Tectonics (32.20%)
  • Paleontology (52.54%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Seismology, Tectonics, Paleontology, Quaternary and Neogene. In the subject of general Seismology, his work in Fault, Lithosphere and Sinistral and dextral is often linked to Oblique case, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies deal with areas such as Induced seismicity and Structural geology as well as Tectonics.

His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Basement and Foreland basin. His work focuses on many connections between Quaternary and other disciplines, such as Geomorphology, that overlap with his field of interest in Earth science. His Neogene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shear zone and Mediterranean sea.

Between 1996 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Late Neogene evolution of the Taza-Guercif Basin (Rifian Corridor, Morocco) and implications for the Messinian salinity crisis (181 citations)
  • Crustal section based on CROP seismic data across the North Tyrrhenian–Northern Apennines–Adriatic Sea (163 citations)
  • Successive orthogonal and oblique extension episodes in a rift zone: Laboratory experiments with application to the Ethiopian Rift (122 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics

His primary areas of study are Seismology, Shear, Sinistral and dextral, Tectonics and Quaternary. His biological study focuses on Extensional tectonics. His studies in Shear integrate themes in fields like Fault scarp and Rift.

His Tectonics study is associated with Paleontology. His Structural basin, Biostratigraphy, Magnetostratigraphy and Evaporite study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Sea level. His research integrates issues of Induced seismicity, Fold, Structural geology and Sedimentology in his study of Quaternary.
