Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

Paleontology, Zircon, Proterozoic, Craton and Trace fossil are his primary areas of study. His study in Geochronology, Precambrian, Terrane, Ordovician and Group is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology. His Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary depositional environment and Siliciclastic.

His research integrates issues of Provenance and Gondwana in his study of Siliciclastic. In his research, Petrology is intimately related to Laurentia, which falls under the overarching field of Proterozoic. He combines subjects such as Head, Devonian, Stratotype and Zoophycos with his study of Trace fossil.

His most cited work include:

  • A candidate stratotype for the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary, Fortune Head, Burin Peninsula, southeastern Newfoundland (228 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?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Paleozoic, Ordovician, Sedimentary depositional environment and Siliciclastic. His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Precambrian, Facies, Unconformity, Proterozoic and Zircon. His Precambrian research incorporates themes from Trace fossil, Sediment and Clastic rock.

His studies examine the connections between Paleozoic and genetics, as well as such issues in Stage, with regards to Taxon. As part of the same scientific family, Paul M. Myrow usually focuses on Ordovician, concentrating on Gondwana and intersecting with Provenance and Orogeny. His Siliciclastic research focuses on Trilobite and how it relates to Biostratigraphy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (67.48%)
  • Paleozoic (17.89%)
  • Ordovician (17.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Paleontology (67.48%)
  • Paleozoic (17.89%)
  • Geochemistry (12.20%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Paleozoic, Geochemistry, Ordovician and Proterozoic. Paul M. Myrow conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Paleontology and Boundary through his research. His work deals with themes such as Environmental change, Ecological succession and National monument, which intersect with Paleozoic.

Paul M. Myrow works mostly in the field of Ordovician, limiting it down to topics relating to Unconformity and, in certain cases, Gondwana, Redlichia, Orogeny, Marine transgression and Siliciclastic. His Proterozoic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary rock, Basement and Craton. His work in Sedimentary depositional environment tackles topics such as Facies which are related to areas like Ichnology and Sedimentology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dodging snowballs: Geochronology of the Gaskiers glaciation and the first appearance of the Ediacaran biota (142 citations)
  • Cambrian–Ordovician orogenesis in Himalayan equatorial Gondwana (39 citations)
  • Rapid sea level rise in the aftermath of a Neoproterozoic snowball Earth (15 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

Paul M. Myrow focuses on Paleontology, Paleozoic, Craton, Sedimentary depositional environment and Proterozoic. His work in Ordovician, Biostratigraphy, Stage, Diamictite and Trilobite are all subfields of Paleontology research. His studies deal with areas such as Orogeny and Unconformity as well as Ordovician.

His work carried out in the field of Trilobite brings together such families of science as Conglomerate and Gondwana. His studies in Craton integrate themes in fields like Range, Cenozoic and Geochemistry. His research investigates the connection between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Basement that intersect with problems in Foreland basin, Mesozoic, Sedimentary rock and Zircon.
