Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Philippe Claeys spends much of his time researching Impact crater, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Cretaceous and Shocked quartz. His work in Impact crater covers topics such as Impactite which are related to areas like Lechatelierite and Conodont. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Silicate, Mineralogy, Earth and Asteroid.

His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Impact structure, Felsic and Meteorite. His work on Phanerozoic, Late Devonian extinction, Avialae and Archaeopteryx as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Paraves, bridging the gap between disciplines. The concepts of his Cretaceous study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock and Tektite.

His most cited work include:

  • The Chicxulub Asteroid Impact and Mass Extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary (792 citations)
  • Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs (375 citations)
  • Coeval 40Ar/39Ar Ages of 65.0 Million Years Ago from Chicxulub Crater Melt Rock and Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Tektites. (260 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Paleontology, Impact crater, Meteorite and Mineralogy. In the subject of general Geochemistry, his work in Breccia, Petrography and Clastic rock is often linked to Platinum group, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work on Cretaceous, Late Devonian extinction and Devonian as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Extinction event and Boundary, thus linking different fields of science.

His work deals with themes such as Drilling and Petrology, which intersect with Impact crater. To a larger extent, Philippe Claeys studies Astrobiology with the aim of understanding Meteorite. Philippe Claeys is involved in the study of Mineralogy that focuses on Diagenesis in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (25.43%)
  • Paleontology (22.22%)
  • Impact crater (16.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (25.43%)
  • Paleontology (22.22%)
  • Meteorite (11.11%)

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

Geochemistry, Paleontology, Meteorite, Trace element and Cretaceous are his primary areas of study. His study on Petrography, Breccia and Crust is often connected to Ring and Gold mineralization as part of broader study in Geochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Impact crater and East antarctica in addition to Paleontology.

His research in Impact crater intersects with topics in Scientific drilling and Lithology. His studies deal with areas such as Mineralogy and Olivine as well as Meteorite. His research investigates the link between Cretaceous and topics such as Paleoclimatology that cross with problems in Physical geography, Period and Stalagmite.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rock fluidization during peak-ring formation of large impact structures (37 citations)
  • The First Day of the Cenozoic (31 citations)
  • Extraordinary rocks from the peak ring of the Chicxulub impact crater: P-wave velocity, density, and porosity measurements from IODP/ICDP Expedition 364 (31 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Trace element, Geochemistry, Cave and Meteorite. His Cyclostratigraphy, Cenozoic and Window study in the realm of Paleontology connects with subjects such as Excursion and Doushantuo Formation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Leaching, Impact crater, Enamel paint and Pore water pressure.

His Impact crater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Volcanic ash, Plagioclase and Nunatak. His Cave research incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Physical geography and Diagenesis. The Chondrite research Philippe Claeys does as part of his general Meteorite study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ablation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
