What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Glacier
- Climate change
- Oceanography
Her main research concerns Deglaciation, Holocene, Oceanography, Glacier and Glacial period.
Her research integrates issues of Environmental change, Biogenic silica, Sediment and Last Glacial Maximum in her study of Deglaciation.
She combines topics linked to Climate change with her work on Holocene.
Áslaug Geirsdóttir has included themes like Arctic ice pack, Arctic, Arctic sea ice decline and Climatology in her Climate change study.
Her study in Oceanography focuses on Sea ice in particular.
Glacial period is closely attributed to Ice sheet in her study.
Her most cited work include:
- Holocene thermal maximum in the western Arctic (0-180°W) (671 citations)
- Abrupt onset of the Little Ice Age triggered by volcanism and sustained by sea‐ice/ocean feedbacks (469 citations)
- Holocene and latest Pleistocene climate and glacier fluctuations in Iceland (116 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of study are Holocene, Oceanography, Glacier, Glacial period and Sediment.
Her Holocene research incorporates elements of Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Physical geography and Arctic.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Climatology and Polar front in addition to Arctic.
Her study in Deglaciation, Sea ice, Ice sheet, Paleoceanography and Holocene climatic optimum are all subfields of Oceanography.
Her work focuses on many connections between Glacial period and other disciplines, such as Quaternary, that overlap with her field of interest in Continental shelf.
Her study looks at the relationship between Sediment and fields such as Tephra, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
She most often published in these fields:
- Holocene (49.14%)
- Oceanography (45.69%)
- Glacier (27.59%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Holocene (49.14%)
- Physical geography (16.38%)
- Glacier (27.59%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Áslaug Geirsdóttir mostly deals with Holocene, Physical geography, Glacier, Oceanography and Ice caps.
Her studies deal with areas such as Volcano, Tephra, Glacial period and Global change as well as Holocene.
Her research in Global change intersects with topics in Climatology and Ecosystem.
Áslaug Geirsdóttir combines subjects such as Sea ice, Climate change, Quartz and Drift ice with her study of Physical geography.
Her work in the fields of Glacier, such as Neoglaciation, overlaps with other areas such as Data model.
Her work on Arctic is typically connected to Lipid biomarkers as part of general Oceanography study, connecting several disciplines of science.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- The onset of Neoglaciation in Iceland and the 4.2 ka event (25 citations)
- Provenance, stratigraphy and chronology of Holocene tephra from Vestfirðir, Iceland (22 citations)
- Punctuated Holocene climate of Vestfirðir, Iceland, linked to internal/external variables and oceanographic conditions (19 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Glacier
- Climate change
- Oceanography
Her primary areas of investigation include Holocene, Glacier, Glacial period, Tephra and Oceanography.
Her Glacier research is under the purview of Paleontology.
Her work deals with themes such as Physical geography and Paleoclimatology, which intersect with Glacial period.
Her study in the fields of Saksunarvatn tephra and Tephrochronology under the domain of Tephra overlaps with other disciplines such as Marker horizon.
Her Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Solar irradiance, Sedimentology and Sediment.
In her research on the topic of Ice rafting, Little ice age, Ice caps and Lead is strongly related with Deglaciation.
