What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
His main research concerns Paleontology, Geochemistry, Zircon, Terrane and Cretaceous.
His study in Paleontology focuses on Transtension, Stratigraphy, Late Miocene and Paleomagnetism.
His work on Metamorphic rock, Continental crust, Andesite and Mafic as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Plateau, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
In Zircon, Michael McWilliams works on issues like Provenance, which are connected to Sedimentary rock.
His study looks at the relationship between Terrane and fields such as Gondwana, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
Michael McWilliams works mostly in the field of Cretaceous, limiting it down to concerns involving Suture and, occasionally, Crustal recycling and Batholith.
His most cited work include:
- Tectonics of the Qinling (Central China): tectonostratigraphy, geochronology, and deformation history (638 citations)
- Volcanic and structural evolution of Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand: a review (577 citations)
- Exhumation of ultrahigh‐pressure continental crust in east central China: Late Triassic‐Early Jurassic tectonic unroofing (543 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paleontology, Geochemistry, Paleomagnetism, Cretaceous and Seismology are his primary areas of study.
His work in Cenozoic, Fold, Volcanic rock, Terrane and Tectonics are all subfields of Paleontology research.
His work deals with themes such as Foreland basin, Permian and Geomorphology, which intersect with Fold.
Metamorphic rock, Metamorphism, Zircon, Igneous rock and Geochronology are among the areas of Geochemistry where he concentrates his study.
His biological study deals with issues like Paleozoic, which deal with fields such as Dike.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Cretaceous, Subduction are connected with Plate tectonics and Continental crust and other disciplines.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (54.48%)
- Geochemistry (38.06%)
- Paleomagnetism (35.07%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?
- Geochemistry (38.06%)
- Paleontology (54.48%)
- Cretaceous (18.66%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Paleontology, Cretaceous, Tectonics and Cenozoic.
His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Earth science and Amphibole.
While working on this project, Michael McWilliams studies both Paleontology and Stratotype.
His Cretaceous research incorporates elements of Metamorphism, Permian and Terrane.
His Terrane study which covers Metamorphic facies that intersects with Plutonism and Petrology.
As part of the same scientific family, Michael McWilliams usually focuses on Sinistral and dextral, concentrating on Subsidence and intersecting with Paleomagnetism and Seismology.
Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Thermo-tectonic history of the Issyk-Kul basement (Kyrgyz Northern Tien Shan, Central Asia) (98 citations)
- Thermo-tectonic history of the Issyk-Kul basement (Kyrgyz Northern Tien Shan, Central Asia) (98 citations)
- The North American-Caribbean Plate boundary in Mexico-Guatemala-Honduras (78 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
Michael McWilliams focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Terrane, Petrology and Geochemistry.
His research on Paleontology often connects related topics like Geomorphology.
His Cretaceous study combines topics in areas such as Accretion, Cenozoic and Peneplain.
He works mostly in the field of Terrane, limiting it down to concerns involving Metamorphism and, occasionally, Foreland basin, Craton and Tectonics.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Geochronology, Gondwana, Island arc and Zircon.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Metamorphic facies and Magmatism, Plutonism.
