What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
Peter G. DeCelles spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Foreland basin, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Thrust fault.
Paleontology is represented through his Cretaceous, Zircon, Paleosol, Suture and Crust research.
The concepts of his Foreland basin study are interwoven with issues in Mountain formation, Provenance, Fluvial and Unconformity.
His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentary rock and Elevation.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Late Miocene and Plateau.
His biological study deals with issues like Nappe, which deal with fields such as Main Central Thrust.
His most cited work include:
- Foreland basin systems (1056 citations)
- Late Jurassic to Eocene evolution of the Cordilleran thrust belt and foreland basin system, western U.S.A. (601 citations)
- Geological records of the Lhasa-Qiangtang and Indo-Asian collisions in the Nima area of central Tibet (555 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Peter G. DeCelles mainly focuses on Paleontology, Foreland basin, Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Cretaceous.
His Paleontology study focuses mostly on Sedimentary rock, Cenozoic, Provenance, Conglomerate and Structural basin.
His research in Foreland basin intersects with topics in Sedimentary depositional environment, Nappe, Thrust fault and Unconformity.
His Geomorphology course of study focuses on Subduction and Mantle.
His research investigates the connection between Geochemistry and topics such as Magmatism that intersect with issues in Earth science.
His Cretaceous study also includes fields such as
- Terrane, which have a strong connection to Paleosol and Detritus,
- Proterozoic which connect with Basement.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (57.46%)
- Foreland basin (32.02%)
- Geomorphology (24.56%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Paleontology (57.46%)
- Cenozoic (16.23%)
- Foreland basin (32.02%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Peter G. DeCelles focuses on Paleontology, Cenozoic, Foreland basin, Geomorphology and Cretaceous.
His is doing research in Structural basin, Suture, Tectonics, Zircon and Subduction, both of which are found in Paleontology.
The various areas that he examines in his Zircon study include Provenance and Geochronology.
Peter G. DeCelles has included themes like Sedimentary rock, Deposition, Sedimentary depositional environment, Stratigraphy and Subsidence in his Foreland basin study.
His study looks at the intersection of Geomorphology and topics like Plateau with Lithology.
His work carried out in the field of Cretaceous brings together such families of science as Nappe, Rift, Transect, Petrology and Thermochronology.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Paleocene-Eocene foreland basin evolution in the Himalaya of southern Tibet and Nepal: Implications for the age of initial India-Asia collision (252 citations)
- Tracking changes in crustal thickness during orogenic evolution with Sr/Y: An example from the North American Cordillera (134 citations)
- Quantifying crustal thickness over time in magmatic arcs. (125 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
Paleontology, Cenozoic, Subduction, Foreland basin and Zircon are his primary areas of study.
His Paleontology study deals with Geomorphology intersecting with Terrane.
The Cenozoic study combines topics in areas such as Tectonics, Volcanic glass and Mesozoic.
His Subduction research integrates issues from Fold and thrust belt, Earth science, Mantle and Crust.
Peter G. DeCelles interconnects Deposition and Stratigraphy in the investigation of issues within Foreland basin.
His work in Zircon addresses issues such as Provenance, which are connected to fields such as Thrust fault, Outcrop, Fluvial, Paleocurrent and Siliciclastic.
