Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Volcano
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary scientific interests are in Tephra, Paleontology, Volcano, Quaternary and Pleistocene. His Tephra study incorporates themes from Sediment, Glacial period and Tectonics, Stratigraphy. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Upper Paleolithic, Ecological succession and Endemism.

Biagio Giaccio works mostly in the field of Volcano, limiting it down to concerns involving Homo sapiens and, occasionally, Mediterranean climate, Neanderthal and Ice core. His research investigates the link between Quaternary and topics such as Volcanic rock that cross with problems in Stone tool, Cave, Sedimentary rock and Structural basin. A large part of his Pleistocene studies is devoted to Stadial.

His most cited work include:

  • The Campanian Ignimbrite and Codola tephra layers: Two temporal/stratigraphic markers for the Early Upper Palaeolithic in southern Italy and eastern Europe (114 citations)
  • Early Upper Paleolithic in Eastern Europe and Implications for the Dispersal of Modern Humans (111 citations)
  • The 2009 central Italy earthquake seen through 0.5 Myr-long tectonic history of the L’Aquila faults system (103 citations)

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

Biagio Giaccio mostly deals with Paleontology, Tephra, Pleistocene, Glacial period and Volcano. His Quaternary, Structural basin, Sedimentary rock, Marine isotope stage and Tectonics investigations are all subjects of Paleontology research. Biagio Giaccio has included themes like Mediterranean climate, Outcrop, Radiocarbon dating and Chronology in his Tephra study.

His Pleistocene research includes elements of Alluvium and Fluvial. His research in Glacial period focuses on subjects like Oceanography, which are connected to Ecological succession. His study looks at the intersection of Volcano and topics like Geomorphology with Explosive eruption.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (38.69%)
  • Tephra (27.74%)
  • Pleistocene (27.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tephra (27.74%)
  • Paleontology (38.69%)
  • Marine isotope stage (10.22%)

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

Biagio Giaccio focuses on Tephra, Paleontology, Marine isotope stage, Holocene and Mediterranean climate. His Tephra research is within the category of Volcano. The Structural basin and Radiocarbon dating research Biagio Giaccio does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Excursion, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His research investigates the connection with Marine isotope stage and areas like Sea level which intersect with concerns in Vegetation, Glacier, Stadial, Ice core and Woodland. His studies deal with areas such as Climatology and Proxy as well as Mediterranean climate. His research in Glacial period tackles topics such as Chronology which are related to areas like Speleothem.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mediterranean winter rainfall in phase with African monsoons during the past 1.36 million years (40 citations)
  • The Awakening of the Dormant Mount Vettore Fault (2016 Central Italy Earthquake, Mw 6.6): Paleoseismic Clues on Its Millennial Silences (19 citations)
  • An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition (16 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Volcano

His primary areas of investigation include Marine isotope stage, Tephra, Mediterranean climate, Interglacial and Glacial period. His Marine isotope stage research is under the purview of Paleontology. His Tephra study results in a more complete grasp of Geochemistry.

The various areas that he examines in his Mediterranean climate study include Proxy, Hindcast, Climate model, Quaternary and Precipitation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Outburst flood, Radiometric dating, Climate change, Holocene and Chronology in addition to Interglacial. The Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as North Atlantic oscillation, Oceanography, Speleothem and Radiocarbon dating.
