What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Plate tectonics
- Tectonics
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of study are Seismology, Crust, Tectonics, Cenozoic and Fault.
His Seismology study deals with Mesozoic intersecting with Paleozoic.
His Crust study combines topics in areas such as Anticline, Rift and Thrust fault.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Precambrian and Geomorphology.
His study looks at the intersection of Geomorphology and topics like Metamorphic rock with Igneous rock.
His study looks at the relationship between Cenozoic and topics such as Basin and Range Province, which overlap with Décollement, Basin and range topography, Extensional tectonics, Extensional definition and Schist.
His most cited work include:
- Thin-skinned tectonics in the crystalline southern Appalachians; COCORP seismic-reflection profiling of the Blue Ridge and Piedmont (365 citations)
- Cenozoic and Mesozoic structure of the eastern Basin and Range province, Utah, from COCORP seismic-reflection data (269 citations)
- Structure of the Laramide Wind River Uplift, Wyoming, from Cocorp deep reflection data and from gravity data (154 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Sidney Kaufman focuses on Seismology, Crust, Paleontology, Tectonics and Rift.
His Seismology research incorporates elements of Precambrian and Cenozoic.
