Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Sediment

Mike Leeder mainly focuses on Paleontology, Sediment, Sedimentary rock, Alluvium and Geomorphology. His work on Sediment gravity flow, Sedimentary budget and Suspended load as part of general Sediment study is frequently linked to Gravity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Sedimentary rock study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Fault.

His Fault study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary basin, Structural basin and Basement. His work carried out in the field of Alluvium brings together such families of science as Geochemistry, Stratification and Sinuosity. The various areas that Mike Leeder examines in his Geomorphology study include Floodplain and Stratigraphy.

His most cited work include:

  • Tectono-sedimentary evolution of active extensional basins (677 citations)
  • A simulation model of alluvial stratigraphy (500 citations)
  • Sediment gravity flows (227 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Geomorphology, Rift, Fault and Structural basin. In his work, Peninsula is strongly intertwined with Sea level, which is a subfield of Paleontology. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Geomorphology, concentrating on Floodplain and intersecting with Channel.

His Rift study combines topics in areas such as Plio-Pleistocene and Graben. Mike Leeder has researched Fault in several fields, including Horst, Passive margin and Holocene. His studies deal with areas such as Lithosphere and North sea as well as Structural basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (39.13%)
  • Geomorphology (34.78%)
  • Rift (26.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Rift (26.96%)
  • Paleontology (39.13%)
  • Structural basin (20.00%)

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

Mike Leeder spends much of his time researching Rift, Paleontology, Structural basin, Geomorphology and Tectonics. The Rift study combines topics in areas such as Fault and Submarine pipeline. His studies in Fault integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock and Passive margin.

His Paleontology study focuses on Tectonic uplift in particular. His Geomorphology research integrates issues from Stratigraphy and Sea level. The study incorporates disciplines such as Marine isotope stage and Cenozoic in addition to Tectonics.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Fault architecture, basin structure and evolution of the Gulf of Corinth Rift, central Greece (82 citations)
  • Rapid spatiotemporal variations in rift structure during development of the Corinth Rift, central Greece (57 citations)
  • Tectonic sedimentology: sediment systems deciphering global to local tectonics (53 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Sediment

Rift, Sedimentary rock, Seismology, Half-graben and Paleontology are his primary areas of study. His Rift study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Fault. He has included themes like Fault linkage, Sinistral and dextral and Submarine pipeline in his Sedimentary rock study.

His Seismology and Overprinting and Tectonics investigations all form part of his Seismology research activities. His Half-graben research is classified as research in Geomorphology. His Structural basin research incorporates elements of Lithosphere and Magmatism.
