Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology
  • Ecology

Mitchell W Lyle mainly focuses on Oceanography, Sediment, Total organic carbon, Holocene and Productivity. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period and Sedimentation. His research investigates the connection between Sedimentation and topics such as Pacific ocean that intersect with issues in Calcium carbonate and Paleontology.

Mitchell W Lyle works mostly in the field of Sediment, limiting it down to topics relating to Diagenesis and, in certain cases, Accretion and Nodule. Mitchell W Lyle focuses mostly in the field of Total organic carbon, narrowing it down to matters related to Surface water and, in some cases, Seasonality, Transect, Environmental chemistry and Redox. His Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Quaternary and Pleistocene.

His most cited work include:

  • Regional climate shifts caused by gradual global cooling in the Pliocene epoch. (488 citations)
  • The record of Late Pleistocene biogenic sedimentation in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (240 citations)
  • Collapse of the California Current During Glacial Maxima Linked to Climate Change on Land (234 citations)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Table, Paleontology, Mineralogy and Sediment. His Oceanography research includes themes of Glacial period, Neogene and Carbonate compensation depth. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Holocene under Glacial period, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Total organic carbon.

His research links Deep sea with Paleontology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geochemistry, Diagenesis and Structural basin. His Geochemistry research incorporates elements of Sedimentation and Hydrothermal circulation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (29.80%)
  • Table (20.34%)
  • Paleontology (20.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Table (20.34%)
  • Mineralogy (15.76%)
  • Paleontology (20.06%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Table, Mineralogy, Paleontology, Geochemistry and Oceanography. In general Paleontology, his work in Stratigraphy and Magnetostratigraphy is often linked to Astrochronology linking many areas of study. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Structural basin, Pleistocene, Sediment, Holocene and Continental margin.

His Sediment course of study focuses on Sedimentary depositional environment and Carbonate compensation depth. As part of the same scientific family, Mitchell W Lyle usually focuses on Oceanography, concentrating on Central American Seaway and intersecting with Late Miocene. His studies deal with areas such as Diatom and Neogene as well as Upwelling.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An astronomically dated record of Earth's climate and its predictability over the last 66 million years. (52 citations)
  • Glacial-Interglacial Changes in Central Tropical Pacific Surface Seawater Property Gradients (26 citations)
  • Biogenic sediment regimes in the Neogene equatorial Pacific, IODP Site U1338: Burial, production, and diatom community (25 citations)
