Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

Paul L. Heller mainly investigates Geomorphology, Structural basin, Sedimentary basin, Alluvium and Subsidence. His study in Foreland basin, Progradation, Sediment, Tectonic uplift and Canyon falls under the purview of Geomorphology. He works mostly in the field of Structural basin, limiting it down to topics relating to Tectonics and, in certain cases, Sea level, Downcutting, Floodplain and Geologic time scale.

In his research on the topic of Sedimentary basin, Passive margin, Forearc, Thermal subsidence and Sediment transport is strongly related with Subsidence. He works mostly in the field of Alluvium, limiting it down to topics relating to Avulsion and, in certain cases, Levee, Petroleum reservoir, Channel bank and Aggradation, as a part of the same area of interest. His Subsidence study results in a more complete grasp of Paleontology.

His most cited work include:

  • The large‐scale dynamics of grain‐size variation in alluvial basins, 1: Theory (512 citations)
  • Two-phase stratigraphic model of foreland-basin sequences (285 citations)
  • Interpreting avulsion process from ancient alluvial sequences: Guadalope-Matarranya system (northern Spain) and Wasatch Formation (western Colorado) (271 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Geomorphology, Structural basin, Subsidence and Sedimentary rock. As a member of one scientific family, Paul L. Heller mostly works in the field of Paleontology, focusing on Sea level and, on occasion, Stratigraphy, Sediment and Rift. His is doing research in Alluvium, Foreland basin, Progradation, Tectonic uplift and Erosion, both of which are found in Geomorphology.

His Structural basin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plateau and Tectonics. The concepts of his Subsidence study are interwoven with issues in Seismology, Doming and Back-stripping. His Sedimentary rock study combines topics in areas such as Provenance, Morrison Formation and Terrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (41.51%)
  • Geomorphology (38.68%)
  • Structural basin (26.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Paleontology (41.51%)
  • Geomorphology (38.68%)
  • Structural basin (26.42%)

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

Paul L. Heller mostly deals with Paleontology, Geomorphology, Structural basin, Alluvium and Tectonics. The Cenozoic, Laramide orogeny, Subduction and Aggradation research Paul L. Heller does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Total organic carbon, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies deal with areas such as Fault and Drainage as well as Geomorphology.

His Structural basin research includes themes of Plateau and Provenance. Paul L. Heller has researched Alluvium in several fields, including Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Stratigraphy and Subsidence. His Subsidence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sea level and Fluvial.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Fluvial response to abrupt global warming at the Palaeocene/Eocene boundary (117 citations)
  • Significance of channel-belt clustering in alluvial basins (104 citations)
  • Flow-Depth Scaling in Alluvial Architecture and Nonmarine Sequence Stratigraphy: Example from the Castlegate Sandstone, Central Utah, U.S.A. (49 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Structural basin, Paleontology, Alluvium, Subsidence and Stratigraphy. His studies in Structural basin integrate themes in fields like Global warming and Earth science. His research on Paleontology often connects related areas such as Geomorphology.

He focuses mostly in the field of Subsidence, narrowing it down to topics relating to Sequence stratigraphy and, in certain cases, Fluvial. His Stratigraphy research incorporates themes from Paleocurrent, Overbank and Ferris Formation. His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Outcrop, Petrology, Proterozoic and Paleozoic.
