Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • World War II

Nigel Woodcock mainly focuses on Paleontology, Ordovician, Laurentia, Devonian and Paleozoic. His study involves Orogeny, Continental margin, Passive margin, Tectonics and Clastic rock, a branch of Paleontology. His study on Continental margin also encompasses disciplines like

  • Thrust tectonics which intersects with area such as Strike-slip tectonics,
  • Cretaceous and related Fold and Sedimentary rock.

His work in Laurentia addresses subjects such as Gondwana, which are connected to disciplines such as Pangaea. Nigel Woodcock focuses mostly in the field of Devonian, narrowing it down to matters related to Suture and, in some cases, Transpression, Carboniferous, Midlands Microcraton and Terrane. His Paleozoic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Welsh, Archaeology and Period.

His most cited work include:

  • Strike-slip duplexes (506 citations)
  • Specification of fabric shapes using an eigenvalue method (459 citations)
  • Evolution of the Rheic Ocean (412 citations)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Archaeology, Paleozoic, Tectonics and Ordovician. Devonian, Sedimentary rock, Orogeny, Gondwana and Laurentia are among the areas of Paleontology where Nigel Woodcock concentrates his study. Nigel Woodcock has researched Devonian in several fields, including Suture, Transpression, Terrane and Unconformity.

His study focuses on the intersection of Sedimentary rock and fields such as Petrology with connections in the field of Fault and Fault breccia. In Archaeology, he works on issues like Environmental ethics, which are connected to Economic history. His biological study focuses on Welsh Basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (32.99%)
  • Archaeology (24.37%)
  • Paleozoic (13.71%)

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

  • Paleontology (32.99%)
  • Ordovician (10.66%)
  • Geochemistry (9.14%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Ordovician, Geochemistry, Devonian and Archaeology. As part of the same scientific family, Nigel Woodcock usually focuses on Paleontology, concentrating on Petrology and intersecting with Late Devonian extinction. The Ordovician study combines topics in areas such as Sea level, Fold and Structural basin, Gondwana.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Gondwana, Paleozoic are connected with Paleo-Tethys Ocean and other disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fault, Batholith and Fissure. The Devonian study which covers Suture that intersects with Transtension, Magmatism, Transpression and Terrane.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A brief history of the Rheic Ocean (150 citations)
  • Tectonic controls on post-subduction granite genesis and emplacement: The late Caledonian suite of Britain and Ireland (39 citations)
  • Record of paleofluid circulation in faults revealed by hematite (U-Th)/He and apatite fission-track dating: An example from Gower Peninsula fault fissures, Wales (21 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • World War II

Nigel Woodcock focuses on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Suture, Ordovician and Devonian. His work on Paleontology deals in particular with Rift, Zircon and Hydrothermal circulation. His research integrates issues of Fault and Terrane in his study of Geochemistry.

His Suture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Orogeny, Laurentia, Paleozoic and Gondwana, Paleo-Tethys Ocean. His study explores the link between Ordovician and topics such as Volcano that cross with problems in Structural basin. His Devonian research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transtension, Subduction, Continental crust, Transpression and Magmatism.
