Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Carbon dioxide

Rudy Swennen mainly investigates Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Sediment, Tomography and Soil contamination. His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Porosity and Recrystallization. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Leaching, Organic matter and Arsenic.

His Sediment study incorporates themes from Tailings, Dredging, Contamination, Pollution and Heavy metals. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tufa, Carbonate, Calcite, Isotope geochemistry and Facies. His Dolomite study introduces a deeper knowledge of Geochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Applications of X-ray computed tomography in the geosciences (291 citations)
  • Large deep-water coral banks in the Porcupine Basin, southwest of Ireland (259 citations)
  • Quantitative analysis of reservoir rocks by microfocus X-ray computerised tomography (184 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Diagenesis, Mineralogy, Paleontology and Carbonate. Rudy Swennen has included themes like Geomorphology and Dolomitization in his Geochemistry study. His study in Diagenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Foreland basin, Tectonics, Petrology, Facies and Sedimentary depositional environment.

His Mineralogy research includes elements of Porosity, Petrophysics and Tomography. Tomography is closely attributed to X-ray in his study. His research related to Outcrop, Cretaceous, Sedimentary rock and Sedimentology might be considered part of Paleontology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (32.24%)
  • Diagenesis (21.57%)
  • Mineralogy (14.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (32.24%)
  • Diagenesis (21.57%)
  • Carbonate (13.29%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Diagenesis, Carbonate, Petrography and Paleontology. His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin and Siliciclastic. His Diagenesis research incorporates elements of Sedimentology, Outcrop, Petrology and Facies.

His work on Tufa as part of general Carbonate study is frequently linked to Water flow, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Petrography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shrub, Micrite, Petrophysics and Clastic rock. In the field of Paleontology, his study on Fault, Tectonics, Stratigraphy and Pleistocene overlaps with subjects such as Context.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New insight into the microtexture of chalks from NMR analysis (39 citations)
  • Considering economic and geological uncertainty in the simulation of realistic investment decisions for CO2-EOR projects in the North Sea (35 citations)
  • Shrub morpho-types as indicator for the water flow energy - Tivoli travertine case (Central Italy) (33 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Diagenesis, Petrography, Paleontology and Carbonate. Rudy Swennen studies Calcite which is a part of Geochemistry. His Diagenesis research includes themes of Sedimentary depositional environment, Tectonics and Evaporite.

His studies deal with areas such as Porosity, Petrophysics, Clastic rock, Outcrop and Lithology as well as Petrography. His research in Paleontology tackles topics such as Tufa which are related to areas like Subaerial and Isotope geochemistry. His study focuses on the intersection of Carbonate and fields such as Sedimentology with connections in the field of Geothermal gradient.
