Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Sedimentary rock
Plate tectonics
Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Laurentia, Terrane, Gondwana and Orogeny. His research related to Devonian, Rodinia, Proterozoic and Supercontinent might be considered part of Paleontology. He interconnects Basement and Detritus in the investigation of issues within Rodinia.

His Laurentia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Baltica and Zircon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geochemistry, Subduction and Rift. His research in Gondwana focuses on subjects like Ordovician, which are connected to Paleo-Tethys Ocean and Pangaea.

His most cited work include:

Evolution of the Rheic Ocean (412 citations)
Transpression and transtension zones (325 citations)
Sedimentary basin and detrital zircon record along East Laurentia and Baltica during assembly and breakup of Rodinia (258 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Laurentia and Orogeny. Ordovician, Devonian, Terrane, Rodinia and Detritus are the primary areas of interest in his Paleontology study. The concepts of his Devonian study are interwoven with issues in Suture, Gondwana and Paleozoic.

Within one scientific family, Rob Strachan focuses on topics pertaining to Pluton under Geochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Igneous rock and Magmatism. Rob Strachan combines subjects such as Shear, Nappe, Metamorphic facies and Supergroup with his study of Metamorphism. His Laurentia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Foreland basin, Baltica, Supercontinent, Craton and Transpression.

He most often published in these fields:

Paleontology (46.67%)
Geochemistry (40.83%)
Metamorphism (22.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

Geochemistry (40.83%)
Orogeny (20.83%)
Terrane (20.83%)

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

Rob Strachan mainly investigates Geochemistry, Orogeny, Terrane, Paleontology and Zircon. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ophiolite, Tectonics and Shetland. His research integrates issues of Laurentia, Proterozoic and Supercontinent in his study of Orogeny.

His Laurentia research includes themes of Shear, Baltica and Pluton. His study ties his expertise on Mainland together with the subject of Paleontology. His work deals with themes such as Devonian, Subduction and Supergroup, which intersect with Zircon.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The Laurentian Caledonides of Scotland and Ireland (45 citations)
The Neoproterozoic to Mid-Devonian evolution of Scotland: a review and unresolved issues (28 citations)
Armorican provenance for the mélange deposits below the Lizard ophiolite (Cornwall, UK):evidence for Devonian obduction of Cadomian and Lower Palaeozoic crust onto the southern margin of Avalonia (22 citations)

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

Sedimentary rock
Plate tectonics
Igneous rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Metamorphism, Devonian, Geochemistry, Paleontology and Zircon. His studies in Metamorphism integrate themes in fields like Baltica, Laurentia and Archean. As part of his studies on Devonian, Rob Strachan frequently links adjacent subjects like Terrane.

His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Orosirian, Subduction and Granulite. Rob Strachan is interested in Orogeny, which is a branch of Paleontology. His Zircon research incorporates themes from Ophiolite and Ordovician.
