What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Erosion
- Basalt
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geomorphology, Holocene, Fault, Paleontology and Massif.
Many of his studies on Geomorphology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Fold.
His study on Holocene also encompasses disciplines like
- Glacial period which intersects with area such as Basin and Range Province and Plateau,
- Loess that intertwine with fields like Neotectonics, Thermoluminescence dating, Alluvial fan, Fault scarp and Active fault.
His study in the fields of Thermochronology, Nappe, Metamorphic core complex and Cretaceous under the domain of Paleontology overlaps with other disciplines such as Cosmogenic nuclide.
His Massif study combines topics in areas such as Shear, Petrology, Shear zone, Precambrian and Metamorphic facies.
In his study, Quartz is strongly linked to Seismology, which falls under the umbrella field of Interglacial.
His most cited work include:
- Miocene NNE-directed extensional unroofing in the Menderes Massif, southwestern Turkey (203 citations)
- An active bivergent rolling-hinge detachment system: Central Menderes metamorphic core complex in western Turkey (181 citations)
- Bivergent extension in orogenic belts: The Menderes massif (southwestern Turkey) (180 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geomorphology, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Thrust fault and Seismology.
His Geomorphology research includes elements of Denudation and Holocene.
His Holocene study incorporates themes from Loess, Glacial period, Interglacial and Thermoluminescence dating.
His research integrates issues of Shear zone, Metamorphic facies and East European Craton in his study of Geochemistry.
His biological study deals with issues like Fault scarp, which deal with fields such as Neotectonics and Alluvial fan.
His study in Fault and Fault slip is done as part of Seismology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (32.62%)
- Geochemistry (26.24%)
- Paleontology (21.28%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Paleontology (21.28%)
- Geodesy (5.67%)
- Slip rate (5.67%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Paleontology, Geodesy, Slip rate, Geochemistry and River terraces.
In the field of Paleontology, his study on Alluvial fan, Graben, Late Miocene and Zircon overlaps with subjects such as High angle.
Ralf Hetzel mostly deals with Massif in his studies of Geochemistry.
His study in Massif is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Erosion, Fission track dating and Metamorphic core complex.
His River terraces study improves the overall literature in Geomorphology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Fault scarp and Fluvial terrace, Fluvial in addition to Thrust fault.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A constant slip rate for the western Qilian Shan frontal thrust during the last 200 ka consistent with GPS-derived and geological shortening rates (22 citations)
- Preliminary results of CoQtz-N: A quartz reference material for terrestrial in-situ cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al measurements (10 citations)
- High-Angle Normal Faulting at the Tangra Yumco Graben (Southern Tibet) since ∼15 Ma (10 citations)
