What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Sedimentary rock
Francis H. Brown focuses on Paleontology, Pleistocene, Stratigraphy, Kenyanthropus and Australopithecus anamensis.
His work on Argon–argon dating, Geochronology and Radiocarbon dating as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Deep sea, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His study in the field of Behavioral modernity also crosses realms of Sapropel.
His Stratigraphy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Plio-Pleistocene, Lithostratigraphy and Radiometric dating.
He works mostly in the field of Kenyanthropus, limiting it down to topics relating to Paranthropus boisei and, in certain cases, Ecology, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Australopithecus anamensis research includes elements of Biological anthropology, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo rudolfensis and Sahelanthropus.
His most cited work include:
- Stratigraphic placement and age of modern humans from Kibish, Ethiopia (729 citations)
- Climate change and the collapse of the Akkadian empire: Evidence from the deep sea (511 citations)
- Stratigraphic context of fossil hominids from the Omo group deposits: northern Turkana Basin, Kenya and Ethiopia. (354 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Francis H. Brown mainly investigates Paleontology, Pleistocene, Archaeology, Structural basin and Tephra.
He undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Paleontology and East africa in his work.
His work in the fields of Pleistocene, such as Early Pleistocene, overlaps with other areas such as Context.
His study in Archaeology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rift, Rift valley and Provenance.
His Structural basin research incorporates elements of Sedimentary rock and Earth science.
When carried out as part of a general Geochronology research project, his work on Argon–argon dating is frequently linked to work in Sapropel, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (54.67%)
- Pleistocene (29.33%)
- Archaeology (17.33%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?
- Paleontology (54.67%)
- Pleistocene (29.33%)
- Ecology (9.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Francis H. Brown spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Pleistocene, Ecology, Human evolution and Archaeology.
His study in Fauna extends to Paleontology with its themes.
He connects Pleistocene with East africa in his study.
Francis H. Brown usually deals with Human evolution and limits it to topics linked to Tephra and Geologic record, Homo sapiens, East African Rift and Chronology.
In the subject of general Archaeology, his work in Cave is often linked to Size increase, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Plio-Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arid, Structural basin and Palaeogeography.
Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Dietary changes of large herbivores in the Turkana Basin, Kenya from 4 to 1 Ma (130 citations)
- Aridity and hominin environments (64 citations)
- The Menengai Tuff: A 36 ka widespread tephra and its chronological relevance to Late Pleistocene human evolution in East Africa (21 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Sedimentary rock
Francis H. Brown mostly deals with Ecology, Range, Herbivore, Ecosystem and Pleistocene.
His Range study incorporates themes from Elephas, Rift valley, Australopithecus, Fauna and Woodland.
Woodland is closely attributed to Paleontology in his work.
His Herbivore research incorporates themes from Eurygnathohippus, Arid, Aridification, Aridity index and Biome.
He has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Sivatherium, Notochoerus and Hipparion.
His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Homo sapiens, East African Rift, Tephra, Human evolution and Chronology.
