Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Igneous rock
  • Paleontology
  • Quartz

Roger L. Gibson mostly deals with Geochemistry, Archean, Granulite, Craton and Metamorphism. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Geochemistry, Anatexis is strongly linked to Biotite. Roger L. Gibson has researched Archean in several fields, including Dome and Basement.

His work investigates the relationship between Granulite and topics such as Impact crater that intersect with problems in Cataclasite, Mylonite and Greenschist. His research in the fields of Transvaal Supergroup overlaps with other disciplines such as Carbonate, δ13C and Isotopes of carbon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Structural basin and Metamorphic rock.

His most cited work include:

  • Precise U–Pb titanite age constraints on the emplacement of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa (156 citations)
  • A SHRIMP U–Pb and LA-ICP-MS trace element study of the petrogenesis of garnet–cordierite–orthoamphibole gneisses from the Central Zone of the Limpopo Belt, South Africa (116 citations)
  • High-δ13C Paleoproterozoic carbonates from the Transvaal Supergroup, South Africa (81 citations)

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

Roger L. Gibson focuses on Geochemistry, Impact structure, Impact crater, Metamorphism and Metamorphic rock. His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Dome and Craton. His Impact structure research incorporates themes from Petrography, Petrology, Geomorphology and Borehole.

In his research on the topic of Impact crater, Planetary Evolution and Asteroid is strongly related with Meteorite. His research investigates the connection with Metamorphism and areas like Granulite which intersect with concerns in Anatexis and Biotite. His Metamorphic rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plagioclase, Tectonics, Mineralogy and Mafic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (57.98%)
  • Impact structure (33.61%)
  • Impact crater (23.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (57.98%)
  • Craton (16.81%)
  • Meteorite (9.24%)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Craton, Meteorite, Impact crater and Space Science. His work deals with themes such as Structural basin, Chlorite, Shock metamorphism and Impact structure, which intersect with Geochemistry. His study in Craton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mesozoic, Metamorphism, Shear zone, Dome and Zircon.

His research in Dome intersects with topics in Greenschist, Basement and Terrane. His Meteorite study combines topics in areas such as Basalt, Breccia and Asteroid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Feldspar, Silicate and Sapphirine.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New constraints on the age and conditions of LPHT metamorphism in the southwestern Central Zone of the Damara Belt, Namibia and implications for tectonic setting (18 citations)
  • Amphibolites of the central zone: New shrimp U-Pb ages and implications for the evolution of the Damara Orogen, Namibia (12 citations)
  • Comment on “Searching for giant, ancient impact structures on Earth: The Mesoarchaean Maniitsoq structure, West Greenland” by Garde et al. [Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 337–338 (2012) 197–210] (12 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Igneous rock
  • Mineral

Geochemistry, Craton, Shear zone, Metamorphism and Art history are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Geochemistry, Roger L. Gibson often connects relevant areas like Terrane. His study in Craton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Petrology and Mafic.

His studies in Shear zone integrate themes in fields like Dome, Basement, Greenschist, Gneiss and Archean. His Metamorphism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Metamorphic rock, Schist, Sillimanite, Migmatite and Granulite.
