Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Phanerozoic, Biodiversity, Sedimentary rock and Extinction event. Shanan E. Peters works in the field of Paleontology, namely Geologic record. Much of his study explores Phanerozoic relationship to Paleozoic.

Biodiversity is closely attributed to Cenozoic in his work. The concepts of his Cenozoic study are interwoven with issues in Marine invertebrates, Cretaceous, Species richness, Species diversity and Neogene. Shanan E. Peters interconnects Paleobiology Database and Plate tectonics in the investigation of issues within Sedimentary rock.

His most cited work include:

  • Phanerozoic trends in the global diversity of marine invertebrates. (506 citations)
  • Phanerozoic trends in the global diversity of marine invertebrates. (506 citations)
  • Biodiversity in the Phanerozoic: a reinterpretation (285 citations)

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

Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Phanerozoic, Ecology and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. His study looks at the relationship between Paleontology and topics such as Extinction event, which overlap with Climate change. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geologic record, Sediment and Earth science.

His Phanerozoic study is concerned with the larger field of Cenozoic. His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Relative species abundance, Spatial heterogeneity and Species diversity. Shanan E. Peters has included themes like Neogene and Marine invertebrates in his Species diversity study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (47.75%)
  • Sedimentary rock (22.52%)
  • Phanerozoic (21.62%)

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

  • Paleontology (47.75%)
  • Earth science (9.91%)
  • Sedimentary rock (22.52%)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Earth science, Sedimentary rock, Data science and Geochemistry. His work in the fields of Paleontology, such as Unconformity, Glacial period and Phanerozoic, intersects with other areas such as Multi proxy and Stable isotope ratio. He integrates many fields, such as Phanerozoic and Supercontinent, in his works.

His Earth science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geologic map, Sediment and Continental crust, Crust. His Continental crust study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Biodiversity. His work on Diagenesis and Authigenic is typically connected to In situ, Micron scale and Excursion as part of general Geochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Delayed fungal evolution did not cause the Paleozoic peak in coal production. (60 citations)
  • Plate tectonic regulation of global marine animal diversity (50 citations)
  • Neoproterozoic glacial origin of the Great Unconformity (40 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Shanan E. Peters mostly deals with Earth science, Sedimentary rock, Continental crust, Phanerozoic and Paleontology. The Earth science study combines topics in areas such as Geologic map and Igneous rock. His work deals with themes such as Bedrock, Stratigraphy and Lithology, which intersect with Sedimentary rock.

His Continental crust research integrates issues from Global biodiversity, Biodiversity, Sediment, Pangaea and Biogeography. His work carried out in the field of Phanerozoic brings together such families of science as Proterozoic, Plate tectonics, Stromatolite, Dominance and Extinction event. His Paleontology and Zircon, Snowball Earth, Bolide, Unconformity and Subduction investigations all form part of his Paleontology research activities.
