What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
Robert F. Butler spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Magnetostratigraphy, Paleomagnetism, Cretaceous and Neogene.
His works in Structural basin, Chronostratigraphy, Geochronology, Terrane and Tectonics are all subjects of inquiry into Paleontology.
His Magnetostratigraphy research includes themes of Foreland basin, Plateau, North American origin and Fauna.
Paleomagnetism connects with themes related to Stratigraphy in his study.
His Cretaceous research is mostly focused on the topic Paleogene.
Robert F. Butler focuses mostly in the field of Neogene, narrowing it down to matters related to Clockwise and, in some cases, Volcanic rock, Fold, Tectonophysics, Block and Sedimentary rock.
His most cited work include:
- Tectonic history of the Altyn Tagh fault system in northern Tibet inferred from Cenozoic sedimentation (477 citations)
- Theoretical single‐domain grain size range in magnetite and titanomagnetite (444 citations)
- 2.6-Million-year-old stone tools and associated bones from OGS-6 and OGS-7, Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. (305 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Robert F. Butler focuses on Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Cretaceous, Structural basin and Magnetostratigraphy.
His study involves Cenozoic, Sedimentary rock, Stratigraphy, Terrane and Biostratigraphy, a branch of Paleontology.
His studies deal with areas such as Seismology, Clockwise, Geomorphology and Volcanic rock as well as Paleomagnetism.
His Cretaceous research incorporates themes from Neogene, Sinistral and dextral and Shear zone.
Many of his research projects under Structural basin are closely connected to Magnetic polarity and Magnetic mineralogy with Magnetic polarity and Magnetic mineralogy, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His Magnetostratigraphy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sequence stratigraphy, Plateau and Stratigraphic section.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (61.95%)
- Paleomagnetism (58.41%)
- Cretaceous (24.78%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?
- Paleomagnetism (58.41%)
- Paleontology (61.95%)
- Seismology (18.58%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleomagnetism, Paleontology, Seismology, Neogene and Archaeology.
The various areas that Robert F. Butler examines in his Paleomagnetism study include Paleogene, Cretaceous, Fold, Pluton and Clockwise.
His research investigates the connection between Cretaceous and topics such as Magnetostratigraphy that intersect with issues in Chulpasia and Biostratigraphy.
Paleontology is frequently linked to Plateau in his study.
His Seismology study combines topics in areas such as Geophysics and Igneous rock.
When carried out as part of a general Archaeology research project, his work on Biological anthropology is frequently linked to work in Manufactured material and East africa, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- 2.6-Million-year-old stone tools and associated bones from OGS-6 and OGS-7, Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. (305 citations)
- U-Th-Pb geochronology of the Coast Mountains batholith in north-coastal British Columbia: Constraints on age and tectonic evolution (196 citations)
- A Female Homo erectus Pelvis from Gona, Ethiopia (190 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
- Plate tectonics
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Neogene, Paleogene, Cretaceous and Paleomagnetism.
His work deals with themes such as Human evolution and Ardipithecus, which intersect with Paleontology.
He has researched Neogene in several fields, including Context, Sahelanthropus, Australopithecus anamensis, Orrorin and Ardipithecus ramidus.
His Paleogene research includes elements of Volcanic rock, Fold, Magnetostratigraphy, Plateau and Thermal subsidence.
His studies in Cretaceous integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary basin, Structural basin, Clockwise and Tectonophysics.
