What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Paleoclimatology, Geochemistry, Earth science and Weathering.
His study on Paleontology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Extinction event.
He has included themes like Isotopes of carbon, Atmospheric sciences, Pedogenesis and Holocene climatic optimum in his Paleoclimatology study.
His study in the fields of Diagenesis under the domain of Geochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Biogeosciences.
His Earth science research incorporates elements of Phanerozoic, Terrestrial ecosystem and Proterozoic.
His Weathering research also works with subjects such as
- Basalt which is related to area like Rift,

Nathan D. Sheldon mainly focuses on Biogeochemical cycle, Atmospheric sciences, Paleoclimatology, Isotopes of carbon and Late Miocene.
His Biogeochemical cycle research integrates issues from Archean, Terrestrial ecosystem, Earth science and Weathering.
Nathan D. Sheldon has researched Atmospheric sciences in several fields, including Soil water, Pedogenesis, Biosphere and Seasonality.
His Paleoclimatology study combines topics in areas such as Global warming, Atmospheric carbon cycle, Carbon dioxide and Biogeochemistry.
His study in Isotopes of carbon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metasequoia, Herbaceous plant, Water-use efficiency, Ecosystem and Genus.
His Late Miocene study deals with the bigger picture of Paleontology.
