What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Erosion
Giovanni Zanchetta mainly investigates Paleontology, Holocene, Tephra, Climate change and Glacial period.
His Paleontology study typically links adjacent topics like Paleoclimatology.
His Holocene study is associated with Oceanography.
His studies examine the connections between Tephra and genetics, as well as such issues in Sediment, with regards to Ecological succession.
His work focuses on many connections between Glacial period and other disciplines, such as Pleistocene, that overlap with his field of interest in Northern Hemisphere.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Mineralogy and Isotope fractionation in addition to Geochemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Stable isotope records of Late Quaternary climate and hydrology from Mediterranean lakes : the ISOMED synthesis (231 citations)
- Late Holocene drought responsible for the collapse of Old World civilizations is recorded in an Italian cave flowstone (223 citations)
- Age and whole rock–glass compositions of proximal pyroclastics from the major explosive eruptions of Somma-Vesuvius: A review as a tool for distal tephrostratigraphy (208 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paleontology, Holocene, Geochemistry, Oceanography and Tephra are his primary areas of study.
His studies in Paleontology integrate themes in fields like Cave and Paleoclimatology.
His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Period, Radiocarbon dating and Land snail.
His Geochemistry research focuses on Geomorphology and how it relates to Pyroclastic rock.
His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Mediterranean climate and δ18O.
His research in Tephra intersects with topics in Sedimentary rock, Trachyte and Chronology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (32.12%)
- Holocene (28.18%)
- Geochemistry (19.70%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Speleothem (12.12%)
- Physical geography (14.24%)
- Geochemistry (19.70%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Speleothem, Physical geography, Geochemistry, Glacial period and Holocene.
His Speleothem research incorporates themes from Precipitation and Interglacial.
Within one scientific family, Giovanni Zanchetta focuses on topics pertaining to Period under Physical geography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Isotope geochemistry, Paleoclimatology and Karst.
Glacial period is a subfield of Paleontology that Giovanni Zanchetta explores.
His research in the fields of Chronology, Pleistocene and Marine isotope stage overlaps with other disciplines such as Context.
Oceanography covers Giovanni Zanchetta research in Holocene.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Most Earth-surface calcites precipitate out of isotopic equilibrium (61 citations)
- The 4.2 ka BP Event in the Mediterranean region: an overview (50 citations)
- Mediterranean winter rainfall in phase with African monsoons during the past 1.36 million years (40 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Erosion
His primary scientific interests are in Speleothem, Physical geography, Precipitation, δ18O and Mediterranean climate.
His Speleothem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oceanography, Holocene and Interglacial.
His studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Glacial period, Period, Silt, Ice sheet and Erosion.
His δ18O study combines topics in areas such as Geochemistry, Carbonate minerals, Calcite and Isotope fractionation.
In his research on the topic of Mediterranean climate, Stalagmite, Mediterranean Basin, Climate pattern and Sea surface temperature is strongly related with North Atlantic oscillation.
His Cave study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Paleontology, Pleistocene, Stadial, Neanderthal and Tephra.
