What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
Cave, Speleothem, Isotopes of oxygen, Interglacial and Paleontology are his primary areas of study.
His Cave course of study focuses on Physical geography and Paleoclimatology, Climatology and Mediterranean climate.
His work in Speleothem addresses subjects such as δ18O, which are connected to disciplines such as Last Glacial Maximum and Stalactite.
His research on Isotopes of oxygen concerns the broader Geochemistry.
While the research belongs to areas of Geochemistry, Alan Matthews spends his time largely on the problem of Blueschist, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Continental collision.
His Interglacial research includes elements of Oceanography, Globigerinoides and Sapropel.
His most cited work include:
- Sea-land oxygen isotopic relationships from planktonic foraminifera and speleothems in the Eastern Mediterranean region and their implication for paleorainfall during interglacial intervals (695 citations)
- Mass fractionation processes of transition metal isotopes (332 citations)
- Mass fractionation processes of transition metal isotopes (332 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan Matthews focuses on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Isotopes of oxygen, Cave and Metamorphism.
Alan Matthews frequently studies issues relating to Blueschist and Geochemistry.
His work in Mineralogy covers topics such as Analytical chemistry which are related to areas like Equilibrium fractionation.
Alan Matthews interconnects Quartz and Petrography in the investigation of issues within Isotopes of oxygen.
His work investigates the relationship between Cave and topics such as Physical geography that intersect with problems in Paleoclimatology.
Alan Matthews combines subjects such as Glacial period, Interglacial, Climatology and δ18O with his study of Speleothem.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (46.62%)
- Mineralogy (22.56%)
- Isotopes of oxygen (19.55%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?
- Cave (18.80%)
- Paleoclimatology (9.77%)
- Speleothem (14.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alan Matthews mostly deals with Cave, Paleoclimatology, Speleothem, Paleontology and Geochemistry.
His Cave research focuses on Karst and how it connects with Glacial period.
In his research, Pleistocene is intimately related to Physical geography, which falls under the overarching field of Paleoclimatology.
Speleothem and δ18O are commonly linked in his work.
As a part of the same scientific study, Alan Matthews usually deals with the Paleontology, concentrating on Human evolution and frequently concerns with Biological anthropology and Before Present.
His work deals with themes such as Holocene and Anoxic waters, which intersect with Geochemistry.
Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Levantine cranium from Manot Cave (Israel) foreshadows the first European modern humans (143 citations)
- Seasonal climate signals (1990-2008) in a modern Soreq Cave stalagmite as revealed by high-resolution geochemical analysis (54 citations)
- Pliocene–Pleistocene climate of the northern margin of Saharan–Arabian Desert recorded in speleothems from the Negev Desert, Israel (53 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Basalt
- Sedimentary rock
His primary scientific interests are in Cave, Speleothem, Paleontology, Paleoclimatology and Physical geography.
Alan Matthews has researched Cave in several fields, including Isotope analysis, δ18O, Geomorphology and Calcite.
His studies in Speleothem integrate themes in fields like Microprobe, Trace element, Stalagmite and Isotopes of oxygen.
His Paleontology study incorporates themes from Biological anthropology and Human evolution.
As a part of the same scientific family, Alan Matthews mostly works in the field of Paleoclimatology, focusing on Pleistocene and, on occasion, Mediterranean climate, δ13C and Pliocene climate.
The various areas that Alan Matthews examines in his Physical geography study include Glacial period, Interglacial, Climatology, Karst and Rift valley.
