What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Paleontology
- Basalt
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Zircon, Geochronology, Provenance and Basement.
His Geochronology study is concerned with Geochemistry in general.
His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Porphyry copper deposit and Molybdenite.
His study in Provenance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Sedimentary depositional environment, Plateau and Archean.
His Basement research includes themes of Supercontinent, Cretaceous and Terrane.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Metamorphism, Gondwana and Proterozoic in addition to Terrane.
His most cited work include:
- Enhanced precision, accuracy, efficiency, and spatial resolution of U-Pb ages by laser ablation-multicollector-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (790 citations)
- Middle Miocene closure of the Central American Seaway (307 citations)
- Evidence for middle Eocene and younger land emergence in central Panama: Implications for Isthmus closure (233 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Victor A. Valencia mainly investigates Paleontology, Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology and Provenance.
His study in Cretaceous, Basement, Tectonics, Terrane and Subduction is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology.
His research integrates issues of Batholith, Porphyry copper deposit and Petrology in his study of Geochemistry.
The various areas that Victor A. Valencia examines in his Zircon study include Massif, Gondwana, Proterozoic and Paleozoic.
His Geochronology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Igneous rock, Rift, Molybdenite, Island arc and Pluton.
His study on Provenance also encompasses disciplines like
- Sedimentary depositional environment which intersects with area such as Forearc,
- Sedimentary rock which intersects with area such as Structural basin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (46.96%)
- Geochemistry (45.30%)
- Zircon (34.81%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Paleontology (46.96%)
- Geochemistry (45.30%)
- Provenance (20.99%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Geochemistry, Provenance, Accretion and Thermochronology.
His work on Basement, Paleozoic, Glacier and Gondwana as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Geochemistry research incorporates elements of Metamorphic facies and Facies.
His Provenance study frequently involves adjacent topics like Zircon.
His work focuses on many connections between Zircon and other disciplines, such as Structural basin, that overlap with his field of interest in Sedimentary rock.
Victor A. Valencia combines subjects such as Plateau, Tropics, Volcanic arc and Terrane with his study of Thermochronology.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Erosion and regional exhumation of an Early Cretaceous subduction/accretion complex in the Northern Andes (7 citations)
- Bedrock and detrital zircon thermochronology to unravel exhumation histories of accreted tectonic blocks: An example from the Western Colombian Andes (3 citations)
- U‐Pb dating of zircon: A sourcing method for pottery from La Morena archaeological site, north‐west Colombia* (2 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Basalt
- Paleontology
Victor A. Valencia focuses on Provenance, Accretion, Subduction, Petrography and Archaeology.
His Accretion study deals with the bigger picture of Paleontology.
The concepts of his Subduction study are interwoven with issues in Geochemistry, Erosion and Cretaceous.
His Petrography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pottery and Zircon.
