Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

David Williamson focuses on Holocene, Climate change, Intertropical Convergence Zone, Younger Dryas and Glacial period. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crater lake and Environmental change. He interconnects Volcano, Radiocarbon dating and Physical geography in the investigation of issues within Climate change.

His Physical geography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Paleomagnetism, Older Dryas, Eemian, Interglacial and Ice core. His research in Glacial period is mostly concerned with Last Glacial Maximum. His research integrates issues of Sedimentary depositional environment and Maar in his study of Last Glacial Maximum.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate variations in Europe over the past 140 kyr deduced from rock magnetism (289 citations)
  • Climatic patterns in equatorial and southern Africa from 30,000 to 10,000 years ago reconstructed from terrestrial and near-shore proxy data (193 citations)
  • Timing of the Younger Dryas event in East Africa from lake-level changes (182 citations)

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

David Williamson mainly investigates Holocene, Physical geography, Climate change, Crater lake and Oceanography. His Holocene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Glacial period, Quaternary and Pleistocene. His Physical geography study also includes fields such as

  • Climatology that connect with fields like Dry season,
  • Hydrology that intertwine with fields like Land use and Carbon.

His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Pollen, with regards to Tropics. His Crater lake research incorporates elements of Drainage basin and Maar. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Volcano, Tephra, Structural basin and Bog.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Holocene (29.07%)
  • Physical geography (25.58%)
  • Climate change (18.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Climate change (18.60%)
  • Physical geography (25.58%)
  • East africa (11.63%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Physical geography, East africa, Wax and Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Later Stone Age, Cumulative effects and Land use, which intersect with Climate change. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Drainage basin, Watershed, Shore and Biogeochemical cycle.

His work on Palynofacies, Paleolimnology, Palynology and Paleoclimatology as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Marsh, bridging the gap between disciplines. Palynofacies is closely attributed to Holocene in his work. His biological study focuses on Younger Dryas.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Drivers and trajectories of land cover change in East Africa: human and environmental interactions from 6000 years ago to present (47 citations)
  • Evaluation of branched GDGTs and leaf wax n-alkane δ2H as (paleo) environmental proxies in East Africa (14 citations)
  • Geochemical and magnetic evidence of change from winter to summer rainfall regimes at 9.2 cal ka BP in northwestern Mexico (4 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Physical geography, Ecology, Land use, Later Stone Age and Climate change. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climatology, Younger Dryas, Holocene, Sediment and Seasonality. His study in the field of Cumulative effects is also linked to topics like Southeast asian, Pastoralism, Population growth and Subsistence agriculture.
