Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Botany

Andrew C. Scott mainly focuses on Charcoal, Paleontology, Carboniferous, Ecology and Vegetation. His Charcoal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Taphonomy, Plant litter and Environmental chemistry. His research links Earth science with Paleontology.

His study on Carboniferous also encompasses disciplines like

  • Paleozoic which connect with Late Devonian extinction,
  • Paleoecology, which have a strong connection to Palynology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biological dispersal and Westphalian sovereignty in addition to Ecology. His Vegetation research integrates issues from Litter and Fern.

His most cited work include:

  • Fire in the Earth System (1654 citations)
  • The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (550 citations)
  • The Pre-Quaternary history of fire (432 citations)

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

Andrew C. Scott mostly deals with Paleontology, Carboniferous, Charcoal, Coal and Paleozoic. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Genus. His Carboniferous research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Botany and Megaspore.

His Charcoal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Earth science, Cretaceous, Inertinite, Mineralogy and Vegetation. His Coal research incorporates elements of Mining engineering and Geochemistry. His Paleozoic study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Devonian.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (32.39%)
  • Carboniferous (22.89%)
  • Charcoal (15.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Paleontology (32.39%)
  • Charcoal (15.14%)
  • Ecology (9.15%)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Charcoal, Ecology, Cancer research and Younger Dryas. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geomorphology and Extinction event. His Charcoal research includes elements of Cretaceous and Inertinite.

Andrew C. Scott combines subjects such as Peat and Vegetation with his study of Inertinite. His research investigates the connection between Vegetation and topics such as Flammability that intersect with problems in Paleozoic. His Paleozoic study incorporates themes from Ecosystem and Earth science.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fire on Earth: An Introduction (109 citations)
  • Cretaceous wildfires and their impact on the Earth system (77 citations)
  • The impact of fire on the Late Paleozoic Earth system (50 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Charcoal, Ecology, Inertinite and Geomorphology. Andrew C. Scott regularly ties together related areas like Physical geography in his Paleontology studies. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental engineering, Cretaceous, Sedimentation, Erosion and Earth system science as well as Charcoal.

His study in Inertinite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Peat and Vegetation. Andrew C. Scott has researched Vegetation in several fields, including Period, Earth science, Paleozoic, Ecosystem and Flammability. As a member of one scientific family, Andrew C. Scott mostly works in the field of Younger Dryas, focusing on Extinction event and, on occasion, Climate change.
