Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Yanni Gunnell mostly deals with Paleontology, Pleistocene, Geomorphology, Glacial period and Tectonics. His work deals with themes such as Paleomagnetism and Moraine, which intersect with Pleistocene. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Denudation and Plateau.

His Denudation research integrates issues from Pyroclastic rock, Clastic wedge, Late Miocene, Canyon and Landform. His work on Last Glacial Maximum as part of general Glacial period study is frequently connected to Marine isotope stage, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His work focuses on many connections between Tectonics and other disciplines, such as Fracture zone, that overlap with his field of interest in Passive margin.

His most cited work include:

  • The African Erosion Surface: A Continental-scale Synthesis of Geomorphology, Tectonics, and Environmental Change over the Past 180 Million Years (188 citations)
  • Early Pleistocene presence of Acheulian hominins in South India. (121 citations)
  • Denudation history of the continental margin of western peninsular India since the early Mesozoic - reconciling apatite fission-track data with geomorphology (109 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Geomorphology, Denudation, Tectonics and Physical geography. His Paleontology study often links to related topics such as Canyon. His study in the field of Landform, Bedrock, Erosion and Paraglacial also crosses realms of Scale.

His study on Denudation also encompasses disciplines like

  • Tectonic uplift which intersects with area such as Fluvial,
  • Plateau together with Hydrology. His studies deal with areas such as Structural basin and Earth science as well as Tectonics. Yanni Gunnell has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Glacial period, Monsoon, Climatology and Tropics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (31.00%)
  • Geomorphology (28.00%)
  • Denudation (26.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Physical geography (19.00%)
  • Paleontology (31.00%)
  • Pleistocene (12.00%)

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

Yanni Gunnell mainly focuses on Physical geography, Paleontology, Pleistocene, Denudation and Glacier. The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Drainage basin, Upper Paleolithic and Paleoclimatology. His Paleontology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Canyon.

His Denudation study is associated with Tectonics. Glacier is a subfield of Geomorphology that he studies. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Penninic and Permafrost.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cirques have growth spurts during deglacial and interglacial periods: evidence from 10Be and 26Al nuclide inventories in the central and eastern Pyrenees. (29 citations)
  • Did Pyrenean glaciers dance to the beat of global climatic events? Evidence from the Würmian sequence stratigraphy of an ice-dammed palaeolake depocentre in Andorra (23 citations)
  • Flat-topped mountain ranges: Their global distribution and value for understanding the evolution of mountain topography (23 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Denudation, Paleontology, Physical geography, Glacier and Glacial period. Denudation is a subfield of Tectonics that he explores. The various areas that he examines in his Physical geography study include Sedimentary rock, Climatology and Geomorphology.

Geomorphology is closely attributed to Pleistocene in his research. Yanni Gunnell has included themes like Sedimentary depositional environment, Sequence stratigraphy, Chronology and Last Glacial Maximum in his Glacier study. The Cirque study combines topics in areas such as Bedrock, Deglaciation and Landform.
