Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Main Central Thrust, Geomorphology, Shear zone and Plateau. His research investigates the connection with Main Central Thrust and areas like Thrust fault which intersect with concerns in Thermochronology and Tectonostratigraphy. The Geomorphology study combines topics in areas such as Volcano and Sedimentary rock.

His study in Shear zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fault and Graben. His work investigates the relationship between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Paleomagnetism that intersect with problems in Geochemistry. His Neogene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Batholith, Isochron and Pluton.

His most cited work include:

  • Stratigraphy, structure, and tectonic evolution of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in western Nepal (426 citations)
  • Tertiary structural evolution of the Gangdese Thrust System, southeastern Tibet (316 citations)
  • Identification of inherited radiogenic Pb in monazite and its implications for U–Pb systematics (304 citations)

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

Peter Copeland mainly focuses on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geomorphology, Seismology and Thermochronology. The Structural basin research Peter Copeland does as part of his general Geomorphology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Plateau, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. In general Seismology, his work in Shear zone, Main Central Thrust and Batholith is often linked to Phase linking many areas of study.

His Shear zone research incorporates themes from Fold and thrust belt, Fault and Nappe. Peter Copeland interconnects Suture, Detritus and Thrust fault in the investigation of issues within Main Central Thrust. The various areas that Peter Copeland examines in his Thermochronology study include Late Miocene, Terrane and Calcite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (39.13%)
  • Geochemistry (37.68%)
  • Geomorphology (17.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (37.68%)
  • Geochronology (10.14%)
  • Mixing (4.35%)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Geochronology, Mixing, Series and Magma. His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Stratigraphy, Canyon and Fluid inclusions. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Back-arc basin, Progradation, Late Miocene and Thermochronology, Zircon.

Mixing is integrated with Sediment, Structural basin and Geomorphology in his research. His Series study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Table.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Location, location, location: The variable lifespan of the Laramide orogeny (42 citations)
  • Impact of the North American monsoon on isotope paleoaltimeters: Implications for the paleoaltimetry of the American southwest (10 citations)
  • Geochemistry and geochronology of Grenada and Union islands, Lesser Antilles: The case for mixing between two magma series generated from distinct sources (9 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

Peter Copeland mainly investigates Seismology, Farallon Plate, Subduction, Laramide orogeny and Climatology. Peter Copeland has included themes like Colorado plateau, Oceanography and Isotopes of oxygen in his Climatology study.
