Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

Michael D. Blum mainly investigates Fluvial, Paleontology, Sediment, Hydrology and Holocene. His Fluvial study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary basin, Coastal plain and Unconformity. His Sedimentary basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geologic record, Climate change, Earth science and Continental margin.

He does research in Paleontology, focusing on Sequence stratigraphy specifically. Michael D. Blum combines subjects such as Progradation and Subsidence with his study of Sediment. His study focuses on the intersection of Holocene and fields such as Glacial period with connections in the field of Physical geography, Paleosol, Macrofossil and Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy (883 citations)
  • Fluvial responses to climate and sea‐level change: a review and look forward (866 citations)
  • Reply to the comments of W. Helland-Hansen on "Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy" by Catuneanu et al. (Earth-Sciences Review 92(2009)1-33) (812 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Fluvial, Holocene, Oceanography and Sediment. His study brings together the fields of Canyon and Paleontology. In Fluvial, Michael D. Blum works on issues like Sedimentary depositional environment, which are connected to Natural.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Pleistocene, Glacial period, Radiocarbon dating and Sea level in addition to Holocene. His research in Sediment intersects with topics in Hydrology, Routing, Mesozoic and Subsidence. Sequence covers Michael D. Blum research in Sequence stratigraphy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (46.88%)
  • Fluvial (25.00%)
  • Holocene (21.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (46.88%)
  • BENGAL (9.38%)
  • Sediment (19.79%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, BENGAL, Sediment, Zircon and Geochemistry. He combines Paleontology and Scaling in his research. His studies examine the connections between BENGAL and genetics, as well as such issues in Deep sea, with regards to Climate change.

His studies deal with areas such as Routing and Oceanography as well as Sediment. His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glacial period, Canyon, Subsidence and Holocene. His Quaternary research integrates issues from Sedimentary depositional environment, Sequence stratigraphy, Shore and Landform.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Allogenic and Autogenic Signals in the Stratigraphic Record of the Deep-Sea Bengal Fan (37 citations)
  • Validation of empirical source-to-sink scaling relationships in a continental-scale system: The Gulf of Mexico basin Cenozoic record (21 citations)
  • Application of fluvial scaling relationships to reconstruct drainage-basin evolution and sediment routing for the Cretaceous and Paleocene of the Gulf of Mexico (18 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Structural basin, Paleontology, Sediment, Routing and Geochemistry are his primary areas of study. His primary area of study in Structural basin is in the field of Cenozoic. His research combines Canyon and Paleontology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oceanography, Quaternary and Mesozoic. The study incorporates disciplines such as Siliciclastic, Plateau and Eagle in addition to Geochemistry. The concepts of his Provenance study are interwoven with issues in Deep sea, Glacial period, Tectonics, Pleistocene and BENGAL.
