Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Sediment

Provenance, Sediment, Sedimentary rock, Fluvial and Erosion are his primary areas of study. His Provenance study results in a more complete grasp of Paleontology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sediment, Bed load is strongly linked to Silt.

Glacial period and Monsoon is closely connected to Physical geography in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Sedimentary rock. His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry, Suspended load, Tributary and Detritus as well as Fluvial. The concepts of his Erosion study are interwoven with issues in Plateau and Tectonics.

His most cited work include:

  • Grain-size dependence of sediment composition and environmental bias in provenance studies (206 citations)
  • Mineralogical and chemical variability of fluvial sediments 2. Suspended-load silt (Ganga–Brahmaputra, Bangladesh) (203 citations)
  • Orogenic belts and orogenic sediment provenance (183 citations)

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

Sergio Andò mostly deals with Provenance, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock and Sediment. Sergio Andò interconnects Mineralogy, Petrography and Fluvial in the investigation of issues within Provenance. His Fluvial research integrates issues from Aeolian processes and Tributary.

The various areas that Sergio Andò examines in his Geochemistry study include Indus and Geomorphology. His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary depositional environment, Bed load, Sediment transport and Diagenesis. His research integrates issues of Silt and Erosion in his study of Sediment.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Provenance (55.42%)
  • Geochemistry (46.39%)
  • Paleontology (23.49%)

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

  • Provenance (55.42%)
  • Geochemistry (46.39%)
  • Raman spectroscopy (11.45%)

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

Sergio Andò mainly investigates Provenance, Geochemistry, Raman spectroscopy, Mineralogy and Sedimentary rock. His Provenance research includes elements of Sediment transport, Silt, Indus, Turbidite and Weathering. Sergio Andò frequently studies issues relating to Sediment and Geochemistry.

His work carried out in the field of Raman spectroscopy brings together such families of science as Resolution, Ice core and Electron microprobe. The Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Isotopic composition and Grain size. His study on Sedimentary rock is covered under Paleontology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A detrital record of the Nile River and its catchment (41 citations)
  • Heavy Minerals for Junior Woodchucks (32 citations)
  • Causes of dust size variability in central East Antarctica (Dome B):Atmospheric transport from expanded South American sources during Marine Isotope Stage 2 (28 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Basalt

His primary areas of study are Provenance, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Paleontology and Sediment transport. His research in Provenance intersects with topics in Silt, Siliciclastic, Weathering, Loess and Continental margin. His work in Heavy mineral, Diagenesis, Zircon and Detritus is related to Geochemistry.

He works mostly in the field of Zircon, limiting it down to concerns involving Quaternary and, occasionally, Glacial period and Sediment. In his study, Bedrock, Coastal plain, Siltstone, Pleistocene and Paleoclimatology is strongly linked to Continental shelf, which falls under the umbrella field of Paleontology. His Sediment transport research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Black sand, Canyon and Roundness.
