Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Ecology, Paleontology, Paleoclimatology and Pleistocene. His studies in Oceanography integrate themes in fields like Facies, Chronology and Terrigenous sediment. Ecology is often connected to Overfishing in his work.

His study in the fields of East African Rift, Tectonics and Rift under the domain of Paleontology overlaps with other disciplines such as Context. Paleoclimatology is a subfield of Climate change that Andrew S. Cohen tackles. The concepts of his Pleistocene study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin, Glacial period, Last Glacial Maximum and Shore.

His most cited work include:

  • Paleolimnology: The History and Evolution of Lake Systems (501 citations)
  • Climate change decreases aquatic ecosystem productivity of Lake Tanganyika, Africa (495 citations)
  • Northern Hemisphere Controls on Tropical Southeast African Climate During the Past 60,000 Years (409 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Ecology, Oceanography, Paleoclimatology and Structural basin. Andrew S. Cohen studied Paleontology and Drilling that intersect with Archaeology and Earth science. Andrew S. Cohen has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Sediment and Paleoecology.

His Paleoclimatology study is concerned with the larger field of Climate change. His Structural basin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geochemistry, Quaternary and Physical geography. The various areas that he examines in his Pleistocene study include Arid, Sedimentology and Last Glacial Maximum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (28.47%)
  • Ecology (17.29%)
  • Oceanography (16.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (28.47%)
  • Structural basin (15.25%)
  • Physical geography (14.92%)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Structural basin, Physical geography, Paleoclimatology and Climate change. Andrew S. Cohen works mostly in the field of Paleontology, limiting it down to concerns involving Drill and, occasionally, Habitat. His Structural basin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry, Early Pleistocene, Pleistocene and Rift valley.

His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Pollen, Vegetation, Climate record and Erosion. His Paleoclimatology study combines topics in areas such as Coring, Glacial period, Biosphere and Scientific drilling. His Climate change study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Progressive aridification in East Africa over the last half million years and implications for human evolution (29 citations)
  • Subdecadal phytolith and charcoal records from Lake Malawi, East Africa imply minimal effects on human evolution from the ∼74 ka Toba supereruption. (21 citations)
  • Waxing and waning of forests: Late Quaternary biogeography of southeast Africa (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Structural basin, Paleoclimatology, Physical geography and Glacial period. His Climate change study is associated with Ecology. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Duration with Duration, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Structural basin research includes themes of Paleomagnetism, Environmental change, Quaternary, Rift valley and Geochemistry. Andrew S. Cohen interconnects Phytolith and Vegetation in the investigation of issues within Physical geography. His Glacial period study which covers Northern Hemisphere that intersects with Monsoon, Interglacial and Climate model.
