Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics
  • Basalt

His primary areas of study are Paleomagnetism, Paleontology, Earth's magnetic field, Seismology and Geophysics. His study ties his expertise on Geomagnetic pole together with the subject of Paleomagnetism. His study in the field of Cretaceous, Subduction, Rift and Volcanic rock also crosses realms of Collision.

His Earth's magnetic field study combines topics in areas such as Lava and Magnetic dipole. His study in Seismology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transition zone and Archaeomagnetic dating. Robert S. Coe usually deals with Geophysics and limits it to topics linked to Geomagnetic reversal and Mantle.

His most cited work include:

  • Geomagnetic paleointensities from radiocarbon‐dated lava flows on Hawaii and the question of the Pacific nondipole low (617 citations)
  • Constraints on the early uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau (472 citations)
  • The role of the Earth's mantle in controlling the frequency of geomagnetic reversals (442 citations)

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

Robert S. Coe spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Earth's magnetic field, Geophysics and Lava. His work on Magnetostratigraphy, Terrane and Cretaceous as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Excursion, bridging the gap between disciplines. Robert S. Coe interconnects Seismology, Geomagnetic pole, Secular variation and Volcanic rock in the investigation of issues within Paleomagnetism.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Basalt, Mineralogy and Remanence in addition to Earth's magnetic field. His study on Geophysics also encompasses disciplines like

  • Geomagnetic reversal and related Mantle,
  • Dynamo theory that connect with fields like Sedimentary rock. His Lava research focuses on Volcanism and how it connects with Hotspot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (52.00%)
  • Paleomagnetism (52.00%)
  • Earth's magnetic field (28.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Paleomagnetism (52.00%)
  • Paleontology (52.00%)
  • Hotspot (6.29%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleomagnetism, Paleontology, Hotspot, Geochemistry and Geophysics. His Paleomagnetism research integrates issues from Chronology, Radiocarbon dating, Archaeology, Geomorphology and Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field study combines topics in areas such as Escarpment, Stratigraphy and Coercivity.

His research combines Dynamo theory and Paleontology. His Hotspot research incorporates themes from Rhyolite, Rift, Explosive eruption, Monocline and Basin and range topography. His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Geodesy, Magnetization and Magnetic polarity.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Pervasive remagnetization of detrital zircon host rocks in the Jack Hills, Western Australia and implications for records of the early geodynamo (34 citations)
  • Reduced convergence within the Tibetan Plateau by 26 Ma (25 citations)
  • Magnetic Polarity Reversals in the Core (25 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Robert S. Coe mainly investigates Paleontology, Paleomagnetism, Polarity, Zircon and Geochemistry. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Hotspot. His Paleomagnetism research incorporates elements of Tectonics and Paleoclimatology.

His Polarity research spans across into fields like Earth's magnetic field, Magnetic polarity, Order of magnitude, Geodesy and Geophysics. His Zircon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geochronology, Geologic record and Dynamo. In general Geochemistry study, his work on Conglomerate often relates to the realm of Large igneous province, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
