What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Basalt
Martin J. Van Kranendonk spends much of his time researching Pilbara Craton, Archean, Geochemistry, Paleontology and Warrawoona Group.
His Pilbara Craton research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Hydrothermal circulation and Analytical chemistry.
His Archean study incorporates themes from Crust, Precambrian, Volcanic glass and Terrane.
His Crust research integrates issues from Earth's internal heat budget, Craton and Earth science.
His Geochemistry research focuses on Basalt, Banded iron formation and Greenstone belt.
The concepts of his Warrawoona Group study are interwoven with issues in Siderite, Felsic, Infrared spectroscopy and Volcanic rock.
His most cited work include:
- Questioning the evidence for Earth's oldest fossils (682 citations)
- Review: secular tectonic evolution of Archean continental crust: interplay between horizontal and vertical processes in the formation of the Pilbara Craton, Australia (270 citations)
- Rapid emergence of life shown by discovery of 3,700-million-year-old microbial structures (266 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Archean, Pilbara Craton, Paleontology and Craton.
While the research belongs to areas of Geochemistry, Martin J. Van Kranendonk spends his time largely on the problem of Stromatolite, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Sedimentary depositional environment.
His studies in Archean integrate themes in fields like Precambrian, Tectonics, Earth science and Clastic rock.
Martin J. Van Kranendonk specializes in Pilbara Craton, namely Warrawoona Group.
His Craton study also includes fields such as
- Plate tectonics that connect with fields like Earth's internal heat budget,
- Hadean and Geologic record most often made with reference to Early Earth.
His Crust study deals with Mantle intersecting with Mantle plume.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (72.89%)
- Archean (57.83%)
- Pilbara Craton (46.99%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Geochemistry (72.89%)
- Archean (57.83%)
- Stromatolite (16.27%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Martin J. Van Kranendonk spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Archean, Stromatolite, Pilbara Craton and Sedimentary rock.
His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Facies.
His Archean study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geologic record, Abiogenesis, Earth science, Clastic rock and Mantle.
His Pilbara Craton study results in a more complete grasp of Paleontology.
His work on Plate tectonics, Assemblage and Basalt as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Nucleus, bridging the gap between disciplines.
As a part of the same scientific study, Martin J. Van Kranendonk usually deals with the Sedimentary rock, concentrating on Diagenesis and frequently concerns with Carbonate minerals, Metamorphism, Metamorphic facies, Fold and Outcrop.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Microbial life and biogeochemical cycling on land 3,220 million years ago (37 citations)
- Globally asynchronous sulphur isotope signals require re-definition of the Great Oxidation Event (36 citations)
- Nano−porous pyrite and organic matter in 3.5-billion-year-old stromatolites record primordial life (24 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Ecology
Geochemistry, Pyrite, Pilbara Craton, Stromatolite and Archean are his primary areas of study.
His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Solar System and Meteorite.
His studies deal with areas such as Organic matter and Paleoarchean as well as Pyrite.
His Pilbara Craton research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary depositional environment, Waves and shallow water and Mass-independent fractionation.
His Stromatolite research focuses on Sedimentary rock and how it connects with Fold, Sulphur isotope and Earth science.
His Archean research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mantle, Abiogenesis, Volatiles and Ultramafic rock.
