Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Cap carbonate, Proterozoic, Doushantuo Formation and Marinoan glaciation. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Continental shelf. He has included themes like Paleomagnetism and Deep sea in his Cap carbonate study.

His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry and Zircon as well as Proterozoic. He works mostly in the field of Marinoan glaciation, limiting it down to topics relating to Snowball Earth and, in certain cases, Paleoclimatology, Permafrost and Carbonate rock, as a part of the same area of interest. Nicholas Christie-Blick combines subjects such as Phanerozoic, Global change and Cretaceous with his study of Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • The Phanerozoic Record of Global Sea-Level Change (2075 citations)
  • Strike-Slip Deformation, Basin Formation, and Sedimentation (416 citations)
  • Deformation and Basin Formation Along Strike-Slip Faults (411 citations)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Proterozoic, Sea level, Facies and Sedimentary depositional environment. His study involves Sequence, Sequence stratigraphy, Sedimentary rock, Onlap and Cap carbonate, a branch of Paleontology. His work in Proterozoic addresses subjects such as Precambrian, which are connected to disciplines such as Plate tectonics.

Sea level is a subfield of Oceanography that Nicholas Christie-Blick tackles. His research in Sedimentary depositional environment intersects with topics in Outcrop and Unconformity. His study looks at the relationship between Snowball Earth and fields such as Paleoclimatology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (64.89%)
  • Proterozoic (16.79%)
  • Sea level (16.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Paleontology (64.89%)
  • Geochemistry (9.16%)
  • Sedimentary depositional environment (14.50%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Sedimentary depositional environment, Red sandstone and Proterozoic. Holocene, Sequence stratigraphy, Stratigraphy, Mesozoic and Outcrop are subfields of Paleontology in which his conducts study. His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paleoclimatology, Physical geography and Phreatomagmatic eruption.

The Sequence stratigraphy study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Deposition, Sea level, Continental margin and Subsidence. His biological study deals with issues like Tectonics, which deal with fields such as Range. His work investigates the relationship between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Facies that intersect with problems in Foreland basin, Aggradation, Fluvial and Cretaceous.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Stratigraphic and Tectonic Framework of Upper Proterozoic and Cambrian Rocks in the Western United States (27 citations)
  • Tectonically Controlled Nearshore Deposition: Cozzette Sandstone, Book Cliffs, Colorado, U.S.A. (17 citations)
  • Do phreatomagmatic eruptions at Ubehebe Crater (Death Valley, California) relate to a wetter than present hydro‐climate? (17 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Sedimentary depositional environment, Petrology, Tectonics and Paleoclimatology. His study in Paleontology concentrates on Siliciclastic, Fluvial, Cretaceous, Outcrop and Facies. His Sedimentary depositional environment research integrates issues from Foreland basin and Aggradation.

His Petrology research includes themes of Geochemistry, Zircon, Phanerozoic and Turbidite. His work deals with themes such as Precambrian and Mesozoic, which intersect with Tectonics. His Paleoclimatology research incorporates themes from Physical geography, Holocene and Phreatomagmatic eruption.
