Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics

Peter D. Clift mainly investigates Paleontology, Monsoon, Oceanography, East Asian Monsoon and Provenance. His research in Monsoon intersects with topics in Fluvial, Clastic rock, Holocene, Hydrology and Geologic time scale. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Plateau, Sediment, Terrigenous sediment and Illite.

His East Asian Monsoon study combines topics in areas such as Basalt, Paleoclimatology and Weathering. His studies in Provenance integrate themes in fields like Indus and Zircon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Subduction and Continental crust in addition to Geomorphology.

His most cited work include:

  • Controls on tectonic accretion versus erosion in subduction zones: Implications for the origin and recycling of the continental crust (611 citations)
  • Correlation of Himalayan exhumation rates and Asian monsoon intensity (413 citations)
  • Palaeogeographic and palaeotectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Neotethys (309 citations)

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

Peter D. Clift focuses on Paleontology, Geochemistry, Oceanography, Sediment and Monsoon. His study ties his expertise on Geomorphology together with the subject of Paleontology. Peter D. Clift has included themes like Indus and Forearc in his Geochemistry study.

His work on East Asian Monsoon, Sea level and Continental shelf as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to South china, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Sediment research integrates issues from Hydrology, Erosion, Glacial period and Weathering. His Monsoon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Foreland basin, Holocene, Late Miocene, Physical geography and Plateau.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (32.11%)
  • Geochemistry (31.30%)
  • Oceanography (28.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (31.30%)
  • Erosion (22.15%)
  • Monsoon (21.75%)

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

Peter D. Clift mostly deals with Geochemistry, Erosion, Monsoon, Sediment and Provenance. His Geochemistry research incorporates themes from Structural basin and Indus. The Erosion study combines topics in areas such as Global cooling and Earth science.

To a larger extent, Peter D. Clift studies Oceanography with the aim of understanding Monsoon. His Sediment research incorporates elements of Canyon and Deccan Traps. His work deals with themes such as Quaternary and Last Glacial Maximum, which intersect with Provenance.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Past East Asian monsoon evolution controlled by paleogeography, not CO2 (34 citations)
  • Past East Asian monsoon evolution controlled by paleogeography, not CO2 (34 citations)
  • Regional Pliocene exhumation of the Lesser Himalaya in the Indus drainage (15 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Erosion

Peter D. Clift spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Provenance, Sediment, Erosion and Zircon. Peter D. Clift combines subjects such as Siliciclastic and Indus with his study of Geochemistry. His Sediment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Illite and Deccan Traps.

His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Clastic rock, Precipitation, Physical geography, Weathering and Global cooling. His research on International Ocean Discovery Program also deals with topics like

  • Pleistocene and related Monsoon,
  • Tectonics that intertwine with fields like Subsidence, Earth science and Solid earth. His Sedimentary rock study is concerned with the larger field of Paleontology.
