Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Roberto Ventura Santos mostly deals with Paleontology, Geochemistry, Carbonatite, Monsoon and Speleothem. All of his Paleontology and Siliciclastic, Sedimentary rock, Zircon, Marine transgression and Geochronology investigations are sub-components of the entire Paleontology study. His Sedimentary rock research incorporates elements of Permian, Rift and Gondwana.

His primary area of study in Geochemistry is in the field of Fractional crystallization. His Carbonatite study combines topics in areas such as Apatite, δ13C, Magmatism and Infrared spectroscopy. He has researched Monsoon in several fields, including Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and Holocene climatic optimum.

His most cited work include:

  • Shrimp U-Pb zircon dating and palynology of bentonitic layers from the Permian Irati Formation, Paraná Basin, Brazil (149 citations)
  • 15N NATURAL ABUNDANCE IN WOODY PLANTS AND SOILS OF CENTRAL BRAZILIAN SAVANNAS (CERRADO) (108 citations)
  • The effect of creatine supplementation upon inflammatory and muscle soreness markers after a 30km race (105 citations)

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

Roberto Ventura Santos focuses on Geochemistry, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Cave and Carbonatite. Geochemistry is frequently linked to Magmatism in his study. Roberto Ventura Santos focuses mostly in the field of Sedimentary rock, narrowing it down to matters related to Glacial period and, in some cases, Diamictite.

His study focuses on the intersection of Diamictite and fields such as Dolomite with connections in the field of Isotopes of carbon. His studies in Cave integrate themes in fields like Holocene and Climatology, Monsoon. His Carbonatite research integrates issues from Fractional crystallization and Metasomatism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (31.25%)
  • Paleontology (21.09%)
  • Sedimentary rock (14.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (31.25%)
  • Paleontology (21.09%)
  • Amazonian (7.81%)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Paleontology, Amazonian, Sedimentary rock and Cave. His work on Carbonatite, Igneous rock and Diamictite is typically connected to Rare-earth element as part of general Geochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Macrofossil, δ18O, δ13C and Craton in his study of Amazonian.

His studies deal with areas such as Sphalerite, Mineralization, Overprinting, Precambrian and Archean as well as Sedimentary rock. His Cave research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Monsoon, Physical geography and Holocene. Roberto Ventura Santos studied Monsoon and Water cycle that intersect with Glacial period.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A high-resolution history of the South American Monsoon from Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene (57 citations)
  • Assessing response of local moisture conditions in central Brazil to variability in regional monsoon intensity using speleothem 87Sr/86Sr values (35 citations)
  • South American monsoon response to iceberg discharge in the North Atlantic. (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Monsoon, Speleothem, Geochemistry and Cave. His Paleontology study typically links adjacent topics like Ecological succession. His research in Monsoon intersects with topics in Subtropics, Holocene, Detritus, Physical geography and Southern Hemisphere.

Roberto Ventura Santos works in the field of Geochemistry, namely Tonian. His work deals with themes such as Climatology, Marl, Global warming, Bedrock and Hypogene, which intersect with Cave. Roberto Ventura Santos interconnects Sedimentary rock, Provenance, Amazonian and Zircon in the investigation of issues within Foreland basin.
