What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Oceanography
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Oceanography, Sequence stratigraphy, Continental margin and Sedimentary rock.
His work in Paleontology covers topics such as Sea level which are related to areas like Neogene.
His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climatology, Hydrology and Intertropical Convergence Zone, Precipitation.
The Continental margin study combines topics in areas such as Abyssal zone, Mantle, Boundary current and Plate tectonics.
His Sedimentary rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deposition, Liquefaction, Thixotropy and Grain flow.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reef, Continental shelf and Marine transgression.
His most cited work include:
- A Discussion and Classification of Subaqueous Mass-Transport with Particular Application to Grain. Flow, Slurry-Flow, and Fluxoturbidites (154 citations)
- New evidence for episodic post-glacial sea-level rise, central Great Barrier Reef, Australia (138 citations)
- Astronomical calibration of a southern hemisphere Plio-Pleistocene reference section, Wanganui Basin, New Zealand (110 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Robert M Carter mainly investigates Paleontology, Oceanography, Glacial period, Sedimentary rock and Sea level.
His works in Sequence stratigraphy, Pleistocene, Terrigenous sediment, Cyclothems and Sedimentary depositional environment are all subjects of inquiry into Paleontology.
His studies deal with areas such as Sediment, Marine transgression and Continental margin as well as Oceanography.
His Glacial period research includes elements of Stage, Ice core and Neogene.
His work carried out in the field of Sedimentary rock brings together such families of science as Bay, Progradation and Paleogene.
His research investigates the connection between Sea level and topics such as Stratigraphy that intersect with problems in Milankovitch cycles and Cyclostratigraphy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (45.45%)
- Oceanography (33.64%)
- Glacial period (19.09%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?
- Climatology (7.27%)
- Oceanography (33.64%)
- Climate change (7.27%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert M Carter mainly focuses on Climatology, Oceanography, Climate change, Global warming and Paleontology.
His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Atmospheric sciences, Global temperature, La Niña, Earth and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
Robert M Carter has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Structural basin, Sediment and Continental margin.
His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Milankovitch cycles, Quaternary and Sequence stratigraphy, Facies in his study of Continental margin.
His Global warming research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Political economy of climate change and Greenhouse gas.
While the research belongs to areas of Paleontology, Robert M Carter spends his time largely on the problem of Sea level, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cyclostratigraphy.
Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Application of Global Sea‐Level and Sequence‐Stratigraphic Models in Southern Hemisphere Neogene Strata from New Zealand (84 citations)
- Dynamics of the intertropical convergence zone over the western Pacific during the Little Ice Age (83 citations)
- Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature (39 citations)
