- Distributions and stable carbon isotopic compositions of biomarkers in torbanites from different palaeogeographical locations (72 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Organic chemistry
- Catalysis
- Hydrogen
His primary areas of study are Permian, Paleontology, Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry and Phytane.
His Permian study also includes
- Glacial period, Meteoric water, Hopanoids, Paleozoic and δ13C most often made with reference to Botryococcus,
- Abundance, Relative species abundance, Early Triassic and Sedimentary depositional environment most often made with reference to Laurasia.
His Structural basin, Deposition and Petroleum study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Extinction event, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Catalysis, Sulfur, Dibenzothiophene, Adsorption and Biphenyl.
His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary rock, Hydrous pyrolysis, Maturity and Source rock.
