Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Stratigraphy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Facies, Paleontology, Outcrop, Sedimentary rock and Sedimentary depositional environment. His study in the field of Coquina is also linked to topics like Field. Paleontology is closely attributed to Storm in his work.

His work in Outcrop addresses issues such as Keuper, which are connected to fields such as Lithostratigraphy, Marine transgression, Carnian Pluvial Event, Sequence and Onlap. His research in Sedimentary rock intersects with topics in Nummulite, Winnowing, Matrix and Imbrication. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedimentary basin, Carbonate rock, Devonian and Clastic rock.

His most cited work include:

  • Conceptual framework for the analysis and classification of fossil concentrations (427 citations)
  • Storm Depositional Systems: Dynamic Stratigraphy in Modern and Ancient Shallow-Marine Sequences (240 citations)
  • Calcareous Tempestites: Storm-dominated Stratification in Upper Muschelkalk Limestones (Middle Trias, SW-Germany) (209 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Facies, Outcrop, Sedimentary depositional environment and Sedimentary rock. His work on Grainstone as part of general Facies research is frequently linked to Palaeogeography, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Outcrop research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Petrophysics, Shoal and Petrology.

His Sedimentary depositional environment research incorporates themes from Ladinian, Permian, Marl and Petroleum reservoir. Thomas Aigner combines subjects such as Sedimentology, Quaternary and Progradation with his study of Sedimentary rock. As a part of the same scientific family, Thomas Aigner mostly works in the field of Geomorphology, focusing on Aquifer and, on occasion, Hydrogeology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (56.15%)
  • Facies (49.23%)
  • Outcrop (43.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

  • Outcrop (43.08%)
  • Facies (49.23%)
  • Paleontology (56.15%)

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

His primary areas of study are Outcrop, Facies, Paleontology, Sedimentary depositional environment and Grainstone. His studies in Outcrop integrate themes in fields like Unconformity, Dolomite, Shoal, Petrology and Wadi. His research links Geochemistry with Facies.

His Paleontology study focuses mostly on Sequence, Permian, Sedimentary rock, Stratigraphy and Tectonics. Thomas Aigner interconnects Carboniferous, Devonian, Sedimentology and Lithology in the investigation of issues within Sedimentary rock. His study looks at the relationship between Tectonics and topics such as Structural basin, which overlap with Petrophysics.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Facies and stratigraphic framework of a Khuff outcrop equivalent: Saiq and Mahil formations, Al Jabal al-Akhdar, Sultanate of Oman (82 citations)
  • Three-dimensional facies modeling of carbonate sand bodies: Outcrop analog study in an epicontinental basin (Triassic, southwest Germany) (58 citations)
  • Multiple-scale facies and reservoir quality variations within a dolomite body – Outcrop analog study from the Middle Triassic, SW German Basin (44 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Stratigraphy

Thomas Aigner mostly deals with Outcrop, Facies, Grainstone, Paleontology and Sedimentary depositional environment. His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Sequence stratigraphy, Shoal and Petrology in his study of Outcrop. His Shoal research includes elements of Wadi and Unconformity.

His study in Petrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural basin, Tectonics, Magmatism, Regional geology and Petrophysics. His Grainstone study incorporates themes from Stratigraphy and Dolomite. His research investigates the connection between Sedimentary depositional environment and topics such as Permian that intersect with issues in Plateau, Ooid and Marine transgression.
