Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Paleontology, Sea level, Reef, Siliciclastic and Geomorphology are his primary areas of study. His study in Paleontology concentrates on Unconformity, Cretaceous, Sequence stratigraphy, Glacial period and Interglacial. His Sea level research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tectonic subsidence and Sediment.

His study focuses on the intersection of Tectonic subsidence and fields such as Holocene with connections in the field of Geologic record. Reef is a subfield of Oceanography that Wolfgang Schlager investigates. His Turbidity current and Progradation study, which is part of a larger body of work in Geomorphology, is frequently linked to Gaussian function and Exponential decay, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Nutrient excess and the demise of coral reefs and carbonate platforms (769 citations)
  • The paradox of drowned reefs and carbonate platforms (568 citations)
  • Carbonates and relative changes in sea level (336 citations)

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

Wolfgang Schlager spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Geochemistry, Geomorphology, Carbonate platform and Cretaceous. The various areas that Wolfgang Schlager examines in his Paleontology study include Reef and Sea level. His work in Sea level addresses subjects such as Siliciclastic, which are connected to disciplines such as Sequence.

His research investigates the connection between Carbonate platform and topics such as Subaerial that intersect with issues in Carbonate hardgrounds. He interconnects Sequence stratigraphy and Carbonate rock in the investigation of issues within Unconformity. His research in Facies intersects with topics in Outcrop and Sediment.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (47.65%)
  • Geochemistry (17.45%)
  • Geomorphology (16.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2015)?

  • Paleontology (47.65%)
  • Carbonate platform (16.78%)
  • Geochemistry (17.45%)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Carbonate platform, Geochemistry, Facies and Sediment. His research on Paleontology often connects related areas such as Reef. His work deals with themes such as Neogene, Subaerial and Progradation, which intersect with Carbonate platform.

His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Accretionary wedge and Cretaceous. His Facies research incorporates elements of Strike-slip tectonics, Subduction and Nappe. His work in the fields of Sediment, such as Terrigenous sediment, intersects with other areas such as Bedform.

Between 2002 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Carbonate Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy (323 citations)
  • Benthic carbonate factories of the Phanerozoic (226 citations)
  • Fractal nature of stratigraphic sequences (92 citations)

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

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology
  • Erosion

Wolfgang Schlager mostly deals with Paleontology, Reef, Sediment, Carbonate platform and Facies. Wolfgang Schlager performs multidisciplinary study in Paleontology and Bounded function in his work. The concepts of his Reef study are interwoven with issues in Waves and shallow water, Phanerozoic, Benthic zone and Abiotic component.

In the field of Sediment, his study on Terrigenous sediment overlaps with subjects such as Bedform. In his study, Neogene, Submarine pipeline, Cenozoic, Progradation and Paleogene is strongly linked to Subaerial, which falls under the umbrella field of Carbonate platform. His Facies research includes elements of Nappe and Subduction.
