What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Basalt
His primary areas of study are Craton, Geochemistry, Gondwana, Foreland basin and Shear zone.
The subject of his Craton research is within the realm of Paleontology.
His study brings together the fields of Geomorphology and Paleontology.
His studies link Batholith with Geochemistry.
He combines subjects such as Orogeny, Rodinia and Crust with his study of Gondwana.
His study in Foreland basin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metamorphism, Ophiolite and Terrane.
His most cited work include:
- Himalayan-type indenter-escape tectonics model for the southern part of the late Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic East African– Antarctic orogen (292 citations)
- The Kalahari Craton during the assembly and dispersal of Rodinia (206 citations)
- Precambrian evolution of the Sirwa Window, Anti-Atlas Orogen, Morocco (182 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Robert J. Thomas mainly investigates Geochemistry, Geologic map, Earth science, Geomorphology and Zircon.
His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Quaternary and Terrane.
His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentary rock and Paleontology.
Robert J. Thomas interconnects Orogeny, Provenance, Craton, Geochronology and Gneiss in the investigation of issues within Zircon.
Robert J. Thomas usually deals with Orogeny and limits it to topics linked to Gondwana and Rodinia, Paleozoic and Crust.
He works mostly in the field of Craton, limiting it down to concerns involving Shear zone and, occasionally, Igneous rock.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (40.57%)
- Geologic map (25.47%)
- Earth science (21.70%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Geochemistry (40.57%)
- Geologic map (25.47%)
- Geomorphology (20.28%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert J. Thomas mostly deals with Geochemistry, Geologic map, Geomorphology, Earth science and Zircon.
Robert J. Thomas has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Quaternary and Sabkha.
His Geologic map study combines topics in areas such as Geological survey, Archaeology and Ancient history.
His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Orogeny, Craton, Geochronology, Gneiss and Gondwana.
Robert J. Thomas has included themes like Subduction and Archean in his Craton study.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Metamorphic rock, Igneous rock is strongly linked to Basement.
Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Neoproterozoic–Cambrian stratigraphic framework of the Anti-Atlas and Ouzellagh promontory (High Atlas), Morocco (47 citations)
- Records of Ocean Growth and Destruction in the Oman–UAE Ophiolite (42 citations)
- Genesis of the Tonian Imorona–Itsindro magmatic Suite in central Madagascar: Insights from U–Pb, oxygen and hafnium isotopes in zircon (39 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Basalt
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Craton and Metamorphism.
His Geochemistry research includes elements of Basement, Subduction and Charnockite.
His Zircon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Orogeny, Igneous rock, Archean, Gneiss and Terrane.
In his work, Gondwana and Ice sheet is strongly intertwined with Paleozoic, which is a subfield of Terrane.
As a part of the same scientific study, Robert J. Thomas usually deals with the Craton, concentrating on Migmatite and frequently concerns with Xenolith, Back-arc basin and Pluton.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Lurio, Supercontinent and Plutonism in addition to Metamorphism.
