What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
Simon C. Brassell spends much of his time researching Hopanoids, Sedimentary depositional environment, Mineralogy, Paleontology and Source rock.
His biological study deals with issues like Geochemistry, which deal with fields such as Sterane.
His study looks at the relationship between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Sedimentary rock, which overlap with Biota, Anoxic waters and Sedimentation.
His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry and Phytane.
His Alkenone and Range study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Solar luminosity.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Source rock, narrowing it down to issues related to the Carbonate, and often Relative species abundance.
His most cited work include:
- Organic geochemical indicators of palaeoenvironmental conditions of sedimentation (1445 citations)
- Molecular stratigraphy: a new tool for climatic assessment (883 citations)
- Chemical fossils: the geological fate of steroids. (541 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Sedimentary rock, Oceanography and Diagenesis.
His study focuses on the intersection of Paleontology and fields such as Anoxic waters with connections in the field of Sedimentary organic matter.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Deep sea, Total organic carbon, Oil shale, Source rock and Sediment.
His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Organic geochemistry, Outcrop, Environmental change, Biogeochemical cycle and Olduvai Gorge.
His research in Diagenesis intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry, Bioindicator, Organic matter and Catagenesis.
Sedimentary depositional environment and Hopanoids are frequently intertwined in his study.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Simon C. Brassell mostly deals with Sedimentary rock, Olduvai Gorge, Pleistocene, Biogeochemical cycle and Sediment.
Sedimentary rock is the subject of his research, which falls under Paleontology.
His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of δ18O and TEX86.
His study looks at the intersection of Olduvai Gorge and topics like Geochemistry with Pennsylvanian, Abiogenic petroleum origin and Methanogenesis.
His research in Biogeochemical cycle tackles topics such as Paleoceanography which are related to areas like Global change.
Simon C. Brassell has researched Sediment in several fields, including Heterotroph, Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Sedimentary depositional environment and Carbon.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Cretaceous sea-surface temperature evolution: Constraints from TEX86 and planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes (152 citations)
- Sub-Milankovitch paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental variability in East Africa recorded by Pleistocene lacustrine sediments from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania (18 citations)
- Carbon isotopic composition of intact branched GDGT core lipids in Greenland lake sediments and soils (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
