Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Climate change, Sediment, Hydrology and Diatom. His Ecology research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Relevance and Environmental planning. His studies deal with areas such as Atmosphere, Aquatic ecosystem and Lake ecosystem as well as Climate change.

His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Limnology and Eutrophication. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Period, Pollutant and Deposition in addition to Hydrology. His research investigates the connection between Diatom and topics such as Physical geography that intersect with problems in Paleoecology, Subfossil and Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Analogue Methods in Palaeoecology: Using the analogue Package (186 citations)
  • Assessing eutrophication and reference conditions for Scottish freshwater lochs using subfossil diatoms (169 citations)
  • Looking forward through the past: Identification of 50 priority research questions in palaeoecology (148 citations)

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

Ecology, Ecology, Limnology, Freshwater ecology and Paleoecology are his primary areas of study. His Diatom, Climate change, Ecosystem, Eutrophication and Benthic zone study are his primary interests in Ecology. His Diatom research focuses on subjects like Sediment, which are linked to Hydrology.

His studies link Physical geography with Climate change. His Eutrophication study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry and Phytoplankton. His study on Limnology is covered under Oceanography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (39.93%)
  • Ecology (27.47%)
  • Limnology (26.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (39.93%)
  • Ecology (27.47%)
  • Limnology (26.37%)

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

Gavin Simpson focuses on Ecology, Ecology, Limnology, Freshwater ecology and Paleoecology. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Subfossil. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Natural resource economics, Open science and Library science.

His Limnology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Drainage basin, Reactive nitrogen and Nitrogen cycle. The Paleoecology study combines topics in areas such as Prediction interval, Oceanography and Cross-validation. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diatom and Aquatic ecosystem.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hierarchical generalized additive models in ecology: an introduction with mgcv (99 citations)
  • Modelling Palaeoecological Time Series Using Generalised Additive Models (66 citations)
  • Holocene El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability reflected in subtropical Australian precipitation (50 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Generalized additive model, Ecology, Physical geography, Environmental chemistry and Eutrophication. His Generalized additive model study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Smoothing, Econometrics and Regression. Gavin Simpson connects Ecology with Bioremediation in his study.

His work in Physical geography covers topics such as Climate change which are related to areas like Ice sheet. His research integrates issues of Drainage basin, Sediment, Nitrogen cycle, Reactive nitrogen and Limnology in his study of Ice sheet. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phytoplankton and Freshwater ecosystem.
