What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Plate tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
R. Damian Nance focuses on Paleontology, Terrane, Gondwana, Supercontinent and Laurentia.
His work carried out in the field of Terrane brings together such families of science as Basement and Craton.
His Gondwana research focuses on subjects like Ordovician, which are linked to Paleo-Tethys Ocean.
His Supercontinent study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pangaea and Earth science.
R. Damian Nance combines subjects such as Supercontinent cycle, Plate tectonics and Continental crust with his study of Earth science.
To a larger extent, R. Damian Nance studies Paleozoic with the aim of understanding Laurentia.
His most cited work include:
- Evolution of the Rheic Ocean (412 citations)
- The supercontinent cycle: A retrospective essay (360 citations)
- Contrasting basement isotopic signatures and the palinspastic restoration of peripheral orogens: Example from the Neoproterozoic Avalonian-Cadomian belt (283 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Terrane, Geochemistry, Gondwana and Supercontinent.
His work in Paleozoic, Ordovician, Subduction, Passive margin and Tectonics are all subfields of Paleontology research.
His Terrane study combines topics in areas such as Devonian, Precambrian, Craton and Basement.
His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Cornubian batholith and Petrology.
His Gondwana study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ophiolite, Rodinia, Laurentia and Accretion.
His Supercontinent research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pangaea, Earth science, Mantle and Cadomian Orogeny.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (63.06%)
- Terrane (33.33%)
- Geochemistry (22.52%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Paleontology (63.06%)
- Tectonics (8.11%)
- Batholith (4.50%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
R. Damian Nance spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Tectonics, Batholith, Geochemistry and Archaeology.
His research in Paleontology is mostly focused on Gondwana.
His Batholith research includes themes of Orogeny, Mafic and Pluton.
R. Damian Nance studied Mafic and Basalt that intersect with Supercontinent.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Basement, Geochronology, Country rock and Zircon, Monazite.
His Pangaea research includes elements of Rodinia, Laurentia and Lithosphere, Mantle convection.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Supercontinents: Myths, mysteries, and milestones (17 citations)
- Supercontinents and the case for Pannotia (17 citations)
- Role of Avalonia in the development of tectonic paradigms (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Plate tectonics
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Batholith, Geochemistry, Cornubian batholith and Mythology.
Specifically, his work in Paleontology is concerned with the study of Tectonics.
R. Damian Nance interconnects Orogeny, Continental collision, Metasomatism, Supercontinent and Mafic in the investigation of issues within Batholith.
Geochemistry connects with themes related to Pluton in his study.
The concepts of his Cornubian batholith study are interwoven with issues in Basement, Petrology and Monazite.
He integrates Mythology with Ancient history in his study.
