Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Holocene, Climatology, Pollen, Vegetation and Climate change. His Holocene study which covers Tree line that intersects with Precipitation. His research integrates issues of Last Glacial Maximum, Interglacial and Ice sheet in his study of Climatology.

His research in Pollen focuses on subjects like Physical geography, which are connected to Sphagnum, Peat and Hydrology. His work carried out in the field of Vegetation brings together such families of science as Land cover, Abundance and Hemiboreal. In his research, General Circulation Model, Meteorology, Climate model and Common spatial pattern is intimately related to Glacial period, which falls under the overarching field of Climate change.

His most cited work include:

  • Pollen-based continental climate reconstructions at 6 and 21 ka: A global synthesis (378 citations)
  • The spatial and temporal complexity of the Holocene thermal maximum (364 citations)
  • July mean temperature and annual precipitation trends during the Holocene in the Fennoscandian tree-line area: pollen-based climate reconstructions (318 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Holocene, Climatology, Pollen, Climate change and Ecology. Heikki Seppä has researched Holocene in several fields, including Physical geography, Paleoclimatology, Vegetation and Arctic. His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Temperate climate, Deciduous, Disturbance and Paleoecology.

His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Climate model, Precipitation and Ice sheet. While the research belongs to areas of Pollen, Heikki Seppä spends his time largely on the problem of Regression, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Bayesian probability. The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Glacial period, Plateau, Dendrochronology and Quaternary.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Holocene (55.56%)
  • Climatology (39.44%)
  • Pollen (30.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Holocene (55.56%)
  • Climatology (39.44%)
  • Climate change (29.44%)

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

Heikki Seppä mainly investigates Holocene, Climatology, Climate change, Physical geography and Pollen. His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Proxy, Paleoclimatology, Precipitation and Ice sheet. His Climatology research includes themes of Climate model and Last Glacial Maximum.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental resource management and Land use. His Pollen study combines topics in areas such as Population decline and Vegetation. His study in Vegetation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Temperate climate and Taiga.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Does pollen-assemblage richness reflect floristic richness? A review of recent developments and future challenges (82 citations)
  • Publisher Correction: A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (42 citations)
  • Quantifying the effects of land use and climate on Holocene vegetation in Europe (42 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Holocene, Ecology, Climate change, Climatology and Pollen. His Holocene research incorporates elements of Cartography, Proxy and Land use. His Macrofossil study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Relation, Western europe and Vegetation.

When carried out as part of a general Climate change research project, his work on Polar amplification is frequently linked to work in Atmosphere, Excellence and Latitude, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Climatology research includes elements of Climate model, Plant cover, Ice sheet, Dominance and Tropical vegetation. His study focuses on the intersection of Pollen and fields such as Species richness with connections in the field of Vegetation, Temperate climate, Tundra and Boreal.
