Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Glacier

His primary areas of investigation include Glacial period, Paleontology, Facies, Geomorphology and Ice sheet. As part of one scientific family, Nicholas Eyles deals mainly with the area of Glacial period, narrowing it down to issues related to the Rodinia, and often Laurasia. His works in Sedimentary depositional environment, Pleistocene, Structural basin, Snowball Earth and Rift are all subjects of inquiry into Paleontology.

His Facies study incorporates themes from Quaternary, Interglacial and Fluvial. His research integrates issues of Geochemistry, Debris and Stratigraphy in his study of Geomorphology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Antarctic sea ice, Gondwana, Ice stream and Supercontinent in addition to Ice sheet.

His most cited work include:

  • Lithofacies types and vertical profile models; an alternative approach to the description and environmental interpretation of glacial diamict and diamictite sequences (572 citations)
  • Earth's glacial record and its tectonic setting (316 citations)
  • 'Zipper-rift': a tectonic model for Neoproterozoic glaciations during the breakup of Rodinia after 750 Ma (252 citations)

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

Nicholas Eyles focuses on Paleontology, Glacial period, Geomorphology, Ice sheet and Pleistocene. His study in Diamictite, Facies, Sedimentary rock, Structural basin and Sedimentary depositional environment is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology. His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Continental shelf and Fluvial.

The Geomorphology study combines topics in areas such as Drumlin and Geochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Seabed gouging by ice, Ice stream, Wisconsin glaciation and Deglaciation as well as Ice sheet. The concepts of his Pleistocene study are interwoven with issues in Glacial lake, Basement and Quaternary.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (46.02%)
  • Glacial period (42.05%)
  • Geomorphology (36.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Geomorphology (36.93%)
  • Paleontology (46.02%)
  • Ice sheet (31.25%)

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

Nicholas Eyles mainly focuses on Geomorphology, Paleontology, Ice sheet, Glacial period and Ice stream. His Geomorphology research integrates issues from Drumlin and Debris. The study incorporates disciplines such as Elevation, Intraplate earthquake, Graben, STREAMS and Bedrock in addition to Ice sheet.

His study in Glacial period is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geochemistry, Lineation and Pleistocene. In the field of Ice stream, his study on Glacier morphology overlaps with subjects such as Coregonus clupeaformis. His studies in Snowball Earth integrate themes in fields like Diachronous and Facies.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Streamlined hard beds formed by palaeo-ice streams: A review (46 citations)
  • Erosional origin of drumlins and megaridges (43 citations)
  • Rock drumlins and megaflutes of the Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, Canada: a hard bed landform assemblage cut by the Saginaw–Huron Ice Stream (33 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion
  • Glacier

His primary areas of study are Ice sheet, Paleontology, Geomorphology, Glacial period and Drumlin. His research integrates issues of Bedrock and Slumping in his study of Ice sheet. His Paleontology and Snowball Earth, Deglaciation and Facies investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities.

His Deglaciation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ice age, Diamictite, Outcrop, Diachronous and Craton. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lineation and Ice stream. His study looks at the relationship between Drumlin and fields such as Debris, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
