1969 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Precambrian, Stromatolite, Ecology and Algae. He merges many fields, such as Paleontology and Warrawoona Group, in his writings. Paleobiology, Phylum, Early Earth and Phototroph is closely connected to Archean in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Precambrian.

His research integrates issues of Cyanobacteria, Bluegreen algae and Sediment in his study of Stromatolite. Many of his studies on Ecology apply to Biostratigraphy as well. His Algae study incorporates themes from Zoology, Bay and Taxon.

His most cited work include:

  • Filamentous fossil bacteria from the Archean of Western Australia (252 citations)
  • Precambrian Columnar Stromatolite Diversity: Reflection of Metazoan Appearance (198 citations)
  • Stromatolite morphogenesis—progress and problems (157 citations)

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

Stanley M. Awramik mainly investigates Paleontology, Stromatolite, Precambrian, Archean and Ecology. His studies link Algae with Paleontology. His Stromatolite research incorporates elements of Microbial composition, Microbial mat and Fluvial.

His work focuses on many connections between Precambrian and other disciplines, such as Biostratigraphy, that overlap with his field of interest in Taxonomy. His Archean research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phylum and Early Earth. His study in the field of Ecosystem, Biota and Intertidal zone also crosses realms of Early life and North china.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (62.22%)
  • Stromatolite (21.11%)
  • Precambrian (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Paleontology (62.22%)
  • Archean (15.56%)
  • Green River Formation (4.44%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Archean, Green River Formation, Structural basin and Facies. His Paleontology research includes themes of Ecology and Intertidal zone. His Archean research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Earth science and Calcite.

His Structural basin research includes elements of Layering and Spring. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aggradation, Stromatolite and Aptian in addition to Facies. His work carried out in the field of Stromatolite brings together such families of science as Sedimentary depositional environment, Fluvial, Radiocarbon dating and Holocene.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Deciphering Biosignatures in Planetary Contexts (18 citations)
  • Giant stromatolites of the Eocene Green River Formation (Colorado, USA) (17 citations)
  • Neoarchean (2.7 Ga) lacustrine stromatolite deposits in the Hartbeesfontein Basin, Ventersdorp Supergroup, South Africa: Implications for oxygen oases (6 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Stanley M. Awramik mostly deals with Microbial mat, Geochemistry, Stromatolite, Lithification and Facies. His Microbial mat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shrub, Ecology, Geologic record, Bay and Lyngbya. His work in Great Oxygenation Event and Archean is related to Geochemistry.
