Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Extinction event, Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Sanidine. His study in Volcano, Rift, Volcanism, Geochronology and Magmatism is done as part of Paleontology. He has included themes like Bolide, Permian and Earth science in his Extinction event study.

His study explores the link between Geochemistry and topics such as Sedimentary depositional environment that cross with problems in Uranium-thorium dating, Replicate, Volcanic ash, Craton and Tonian. The study incorporates disciplines such as Analytical chemistry, Exponential decay, Holocene and Radiogenic nuclide in addition to Mineralogy. His Sanidine study combines topics in areas such as Canyon, Earth's magnetic field, Isotope dilution and Electron capture.

His most cited work include:

  • Intercalibration of standards, absolute ages and uncertainties in 40Ar/39Ar dating (1463 citations)
  • Intercalibration of standards, absolute ages and uncertainties in 40Ar/39Ar dating (1463 citations)
  • Synchronizing Rock Clocks of Earth History (978 citations)

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

Paul R. Renne mostly deals with Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Mineralogy and Volcano. As a part of the same scientific family, Paul R. Renne mostly works in the field of Paleontology, focusing on Extinction event and, on occasion, Permian. His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Paleomagnetism and Pluton.

His work on Canyon expands to the thematically related Geochronology. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plagioclase, Biotite, Sanidine, Meteorite and Argon. The various areas that Paul R. Renne examines in his Volcano study include Plateau and Earth science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (61.31%)
  • Geochemistry (47.84%)
  • Geochronology (35.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Paleontology (61.31%)
  • Geochemistry (47.84%)
  • Geochronology (35.23%)

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

Paul R. Renne focuses on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Volcano and Extinction event. Paleontology connects with themes related to Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in his study. He interconnects Chronostratigraphy, Radiochemistry, Isotopes of argon, Mineralogy and Analytical chemistry in the investigation of issues within Geochronology.

He combines subjects such as Rhyolite, Sanidine, Alder and Zircon with his study of Mineralogy. His study in Volcano is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earth science and Mantle. His work in Extinction event addresses subjects such as Flood basalt, which are connected to disciplines such as Climate change and Mantle plume.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • State shift in Deccan volcanism at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, possibly induced by impact. (208 citations)
  • State shift in Deccan volcanism at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, possibly induced by impact. (208 citations)
  • IUPAC-IUGS recommendation on the half life of 87Rb (111 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

His main research concerns Paleontology, Volcano, Extinction event, Volcanism and Geochemistry. His work on Paleontology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Volcano, Flood basalt is strongly linked to Earth science.

His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Lithosphere and Asthenosphere. In his research, Geochronology is intimately related to Diachronous, which falls under the overarching field of Cretaceous. His Geochronology research includes elements of Thermochronology, Zircon, Geologic time scale and Mineralogy.
