Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Paleontology
  • Ecology

Glacial period, Quaternary, Thermoluminescence dating, Pleistocene and Climatology are his primary areas of study. Frank Preusser combines subjects such as Oceanography and Radiocarbon dating, Archaeology with his study of Glacial period. His research in Thermoluminescence dating intersects with topics in Luminescence, Quartz, Optically stimulated luminescence and Atmospheric circulation.

His Pleistocene research is included under the broader classification of Paleontology. His study in Paleontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Natural barrier and Homo sapiens. Frank Preusser usually deals with Climatology and limits it to topics linked to Physical geography and Holocene and Period.

His most cited work include:

  • Chronology of the last glacial cycle in the European Alps (291 citations)
  • Quartz as a natural luminescence dosimeter (208 citations)
  • Luminescence dating: Basics, methods and applications (169 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Glacial period, Physical geography, Thermoluminescence dating and Pleistocene. His work in Marine isotope stage, Holocene, Quaternary, Radiocarbon dating and Interglacial are all subfields of Paleontology research. His Glacial period research includes themes of Climate change and Archaeology.

His studies deal with areas such as Deposition, Sediment and Climatology as well as Physical geography. Frank Preusser focuses mostly in the field of Thermoluminescence dating, narrowing it down to topics relating to Luminescence and, in certain cases, Feldspar. The various areas that he examines in his Pleistocene study include Foreland basin and Fluvial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (35.10%)
  • Glacial period (25.31%)
  • Physical geography (22.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Physical geography (22.45%)
  • Glacial period (25.31%)
  • Holocene (17.96%)

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

Frank Preusser focuses on Physical geography, Glacial period, Holocene, Paleontology and Pleistocene. His Glacier study in the realm of Physical geography connects with subjects such as River delta. The Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Loess and Ice sheet.

His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Radiocarbon dating, Human settlement, Sedimentary rock, Shore and Peninsula. His work on Quaternary, Marine isotope stage, Overbank and Solifluction as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Scientific drilling, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Pleistocene course of study focuses on Foreland basin and Feldspar, Quartz and Climate change.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modelling last glacial cycle ice dynamics in the Alps (56 citations)
  • Lakes or wetlands? A comment on ‘The middle Holocene climatic records from Arabia: Reassessing lacustrine environments, shift of ITCZ in Arabian Sea, and impacts of the southwest Indian and African monsoons’ by Enzel et al. (15 citations)
  • Testing the suitability of dim sedimentary quartz from northern Switzerland for OSL burial dose estimation (14 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Erosion
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Paleontology, Glacial period, Pleistocene and Holocene. In the field of Physical geography, his study on Glacier overlaps with subjects such as Context. His work on Interglacial, Marine isotope stage and Structural basin as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Scientific drilling, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Frank Preusser has included themes like Optical dating, Stage and Radionuclide in his Glacial period study. As a part of the same scientific study, Frank Preusser usually deals with the Pleistocene, concentrating on Sediment and frequently concerns with Younger Dryas, Loess and Solifluction. His Holocene research incorporates themes from Monsoon, Radiocarbon dating, Shore and Peninsula.
