What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Snowball Earth, Glacial period, Cap carbonate and Sturtian glaciation.
Paleontology is a component of his Laurentia, Supercontinent cycle and Tectonics studies.
His Snowball Earth study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Earth science.
His Earth science study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Greenhouse gas, Sea level, Proterozoic and Ice sheet.
Paul F. Hoffman is interested in Deglaciation, which is a branch of Glacial period.
His Cap carbonate research includes themes of Ice age, Zonal and meridional and Marinoan glaciation.
His most cited work include:
- A Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth (1867 citations)
- Did the breakout of laurentia turn gondwanaland inside-out? (1349 citations)
- United Plates of America, The Birth of a Craton: Early Proterozoic Assembly and Growth of Laurentia (1140 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paul F. Hoffman mainly focuses on Paleontology, Glacial period, Snowball Earth, Geochemistry and Cap carbonate.
Paul F. Hoffman works in the field of Glacial period, focusing on Sturtian glaciation in particular.
His Snowball Earth research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary rock, Deglaciation, Earth science and Ice sheet.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Magmatism and Proterozoic.
His work carried out in the field of Proterozoic brings together such families of science as Carbonate rock and Archean.
His studies deal with areas such as Dolostone, Diachronous and Pyrite as well as Cap carbonate.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (86.84%)
- Glacial period (60.53%)
- Snowball Earth (54.39%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Glacial period (60.53%)
- Snowball Earth (54.39%)
- Paleontology (86.84%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Glacial period, Snowball Earth, Paleontology, Geochemistry and Sedimentary rock.
His research on Glacial period focuses in particular on Sturtian glaciation.
His Snowball Earth research includes elements of Deglaciation and Earth science.
His work in the fields of Unconformity, Diamictite, Forebulge and Supercontinent overlaps with other areas such as Rock magnetism.
When carried out as part of a general Geochemistry research project, his work on Group is frequently linked to work in Isotopes of carbon and Isotope geochemistry, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Paul F. Hoffman interconnects Sulfur cycle, Mineralogy, Pyrite and Isotopes of oxygen in the investigation of issues within Cap carbonate.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Snowball Earth climate dynamics and Cryogenian geology-geobiology (196 citations)
- Snowball Earth climate dynamics and Cryogenian geology-geobiology (196 citations)
- Triple oxygen and multiple sulfur isotope constraints on the evolution of the post-Marinoan sulfur cycle (35 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
Paul F. Hoffman spends much of his time researching Snowball Earth, Glacial period, Cap carbonate, Paleontology and Sturtian glaciation.
His Snowball Earth study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Ecology, Isotopes of oxygen and Zircon.
His Sedimentary rock research integrates issues from Geomorphology and Diamictite.
His Ecology research incorporates themes from Glacier, Meltwater, Sea level, Ice sheet and Atmospheric circulation.
Atmospheric circulation is closely attributed to Earth science in his work.
The concepts of his Isotopes of oxygen study are interwoven with issues in Sulfur cycle and Mineralogy, Pyrite.
