Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Lithosphere

Lithosphere, Seismology, Tectonics, Structural basin and Paleontology are his primary areas of study. The Lithosphere study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary basin, Geophysics, Crust, Intraplate earthquake and Rift. His work carried out in the field of Seismology brings together such families of science as Seismic tomography, Stress field and Compression.

His research integrates issues of Induced seismicity, Outcrop, Ridge and Subsidence in his study of Tectonics. His work focuses on many connections between Structural basin and other disciplines, such as Deformation, that overlap with his field of interest in Feature and Peninsula. Sierd Cloetingh works mostly in the field of Paleontology, limiting it down to concerns involving Geomorphology and, occasionally, Fault, Lake capture and Drainage system.

His most cited work include:

  • Dynamic processes controlling evolution of rifted basins (382 citations)
  • Dynamics of intra-plate compressional deformation: the Alpine foreland and other examples (370 citations)
  • Late Precambrian to Triassic history of the East European Craton: dynamics of sedimentary basin evolution (299 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Lithosphere, Tectonics, Paleontology, Seismology and Structural basin. Sierd Cloetingh interconnects Geophysics, Mantle, Crust, Rift and Petrology in the investigation of issues within Lithosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Graben and Continental margin in addition to Rift.

His Tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Induced seismicity, Fault and Compression. His work in Seismology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Seismic tomography. His Structural basin study contributes to a more complete understanding of Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lithosphere (43.16%)
  • Tectonics (34.99%)
  • Paleontology (31.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Lithosphere (43.16%)
  • Tectonics (34.99%)
  • Paleontology (31.08%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Lithosphere, Tectonics, Paleontology, Petrology and Structural basin. His Lithosphere study is focused on Seismology in general. His Subduction and Collision zone study in the realm of Seismology interacts with subjects such as Oblique case.

In the subject of general Tectonics, his work in Back-arc basin, Geodynamics and Continental collision is often linked to Pannonian basin, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His research investigates the link between Petrology and topics such as Plume that cross with problems in Breakup. As a member of one scientific family, Sierd Cloetingh mostly works in the field of Structural basin, focusing on Sedimentary rock and, on occasion, Earth science.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The link between tectonics and sedimentation in back???arc basins: New genetic constraints from the analysis of the Pannonian Basin (77 citations)
  • Slip re-orientation in oblique rifts (55 citations)
  • Geothermal energy in deep aquifers: A global assessment of the resource base for direct heat utilization (53 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock

Sierd Cloetingh mostly deals with Lithosphere, Seismology, Subduction, Crust and Tectonics. His Lithosphere study incorporates themes from Rift, Geophysics and Plate tectonics. His work on Collision zone as part of his general Seismology study is frequently connected to Oblique case, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

He works mostly in the field of Subduction, limiting it down to topics relating to Foreland basin and, in certain cases, Continental collision, as a part of the same area of interest. Sierd Cloetingh focuses mostly in the field of Crust, narrowing it down to matters related to Metamorphic rock and, in some cases, Mesozoic. His Tectonics research focuses on Petrology and how it relates to Sedimentary depositional environment, Subsidence, Sea level, Sediment and Half-graben.
