What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Genus
Nigel C. Hughes focuses on Paleontology, Trilobite, Ordovician, Zircon and Sedimentary depositional environment.
His Siliciclastic, Terrane, Craton, Foreland basin and Unconformity investigations are all subjects of Paleontology research.
Nigel C. Hughes combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology, Trunk, Drepanuroides and Pygidium with his study of Trilobite.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oceanography, Ice sheet and Last Glacial Maximum.
His Zircon research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Proterozoic and Group.
His Sedimentary depositional environment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Provenance and Gondwana.
His most cited work include:
- The Magnitude and Duration of Late Ordovician–Early Silurian Glaciation (288 citations)
- Integrated tectonostratigraphic analysis of the Himalaya and implications for its tectonic reconstruction (194 citations)
- Extraordinary transport and mixing of sediment across Himalayan central Gondwana during the Cambrian–Ordovician (184 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Nigel C. Hughes mainly focuses on Paleontology, Trilobite, Ordovician, Paleozoic and Anatomy.
His work is connected to Sedimentary depositional environment, Taxon, Craton, Zircon and Biostratigraphy, as a part of Paleontology.
When carried out as part of a general Trilobite research project, his work on Trunk segmentation is frequently linked to work in Body plan, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
The concepts of his Ordovician study are interwoven with issues in Tectonics, Gondwana, Unconformity, Red beds and Sexual dimorphism.
His research investigates the connection between Paleozoic and topics such as Ecological succession that intersect with issues in Canning basin.
His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Asaphidae, Trunk and Crustacean.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (73.83%)
- Trilobite (48.60%)
- Ordovician (20.56%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Paleontology (73.83%)
- Trilobite (48.60%)
- Paleozoic (14.95%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nigel C. Hughes spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Trilobite, Paleozoic, Stage and Geochemistry.
By researching both Paleontology and Pulse, Nigel C. Hughes produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
Olenoides and Triarthrus is closely connected to Anatomy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Trilobite.
His Paleozoic study combines topics in areas such as Ecological succession, Proterozoic and Diamictite.
His Stage research incorporates elements of Taxon and Genus.
His biological study deals with issues like Seawater, which deal with fields such as Bedrock, Weathering, Geochronology, Thermochronology and Zircon.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A paired apatite and calcite clumped isotope thermometry approach to estimating Cambro-Ordovician seawater temperatures and isotopic composition (29 citations)
- Ecologically Driven Ultrastructural and Hydrodynamic Designs in Stomatopod Cuticles (26 citations)
- Zircon (U‐Th)/He Thermochronometric Constraints on Himalayan Thrust Belt Exhumation, Bedrock Weathering, and Cenozoic Seawater Chemistry (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Genus
Nigel C. Hughes mostly deals with Geochemistry, Craton, Cenozoic, Seawater and Paleozoic.
His Craton study deals with the bigger picture of Paleontology.
His Cenozoic study incorporates themes from Weathering, Geochronology, Bedrock and Thermochronology, Zircon.
His work deals with themes such as Diagenesis, Calcite, Isotope analysis, Phanerozoic and Isotopes of oxygen, which intersect with Seawater.
His Paleozoic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Carbonate platform and Facies.
