Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Seismology, Orocline and Neogene. His work on Paleontology deals in particular with Paleogene and Red beds. His Paleomagnetism research focuses on Volcano and how it connects with Reversed polarity and Geophysics.

His research in Volcanic arc and Oceanic crust are components of Seismology. His research integrates issues of Slab, Convergent boundary, Oceanic plateau and Slab window in his study of Orocline. His Neogene research includes elements of Foreland basin and Clockwise.

His most cited work include:

  • Horizontal subduction zones, convergence velocity and the building of the Andes (139 citations)
  • Horizontal subduction zones, convergence velocity and the building of the Andes (139 citations)
  • Records of geomagnetic reversals from volcanic islands of French Polynesia : 2. Paleomagnetic study of a flow sequence (1.2-0.6 Ma) from the island of Tahiti and discussion of reversal models (123 citations)

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

Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Cretaceous, Clockwise and Tectonics are his primary areas of study. His research related to Paleogene, Terrane, Structural basin, Sedimentary rock and Cenozoic might be considered part of Paleontology. The Paleomagnetism study combines topics in areas such as Orocline, Volcanic rock, Geomorphology, Seismology and Neogene.

His work investigates the relationship between Orocline and topics such as Batholith that intersect with problems in Plate tectonics. His Cretaceous study incorporates themes from Fold and thrust belt and Basalt. His Clockwise research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lineation, Red beds, Fold, Mesozoic and Forearc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (58.65%)
  • Paleomagnetism (55.64%)
  • Cretaceous (29.32%)

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

  • Paleontology (58.65%)
  • Terrane (12.78%)
  • Paleomagnetism (55.64%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Terrane, Paleomagnetism, Structural basin and Tectonics. His work focuses on many connections between Paleontology and other disciplines, such as Clockwise, that overlap with his field of interest in Fault. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cenozoic, Island arc and Geochronology.

He has researched Paleomagnetism in several fields, including Plate tectonics and Tectonophysics. His work on Magnetostratigraphy as part of general Structural basin research is frequently linked to Water cycle, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as Westerlies and Volcanic rock, which intersect with Paleogene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Burma Terrane part of the Trans-Tethyan Arc during collision with India according to palaeomagnetic data. (60 citations)
  • Central Asian moisture modulated by proto-Paratethys Sea incursions since the early Eocene (27 citations)
  • Paleogene evolution and demise of the proto‐Paratethys Sea in Central Asia (Tarim and Tajik basins): Role of intensified tectonic activity at ca. 41 Ma (27 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Pierrick Roperch focuses on Paleontology, Collision zone, Paleomagnetism, Structural basin and Provenance. His research combines Sea level and Paleontology. His Collision zone research focuses on Forearc and how it relates to Volcanic arc, Accretionary wedge and Unconformity.

A large part of his Structural basin studies is devoted to Paleogene. His Provenance research incorporates elements of Geochronology, Orogeny, Cenozoic and Terrane. His studies deal with areas such as Fault, Island arc and Clockwise as well as Cretaceous.
