Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Pleistocene

Herbert E. Wright spends much of his time researching Archaeology, Quaternary, Paleontology, Physical geography and Pleistocene. His Holocene study in the realm of Archaeology connects with subjects such as Slovak and Vegetation. His Holocene research focuses on Pollen and how it relates to Hydrology and Vegetation.

The various areas that he examines in his Quaternary study include Older Dryas, Tundra, Paleoclimatology and Ancient history. His research ties Deglaciation and Physical geography together. Part of his project on Deglaciation includes research on Glacial period and Oceanography.

His most cited work include:

  • Global Climates: since the Last Glacial Maximum (1033 citations)
  • The Quaternary of the United States (463 citations)
  • Piston corers for peat and lake sediments (398 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Glacial period, Physical geography, Holocene and Quaternary. His research combines Silt and Ecology. His study in Deglaciation and Meltwater falls within the category of Glacial period.

Herbert E. Wright has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Paleoclimatology, Ice sheet, Vegetation, Paleolimnology and Last Glacial Maximum. His work in Holocene covers topics such as Radiocarbon dating which are related to areas like Tributary. His Quaternary study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Archaeology, Pleistocene and Volume.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (30.43%)
  • Glacial period (24.35%)
  • Physical geography (23.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2020)?

  • Glacial period (24.35%)
  • Holocene (21.74%)
  • Ecology (30.43%)

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

Herbert E. Wright spends much of his time researching Glacial period, Holocene, Ecology, Physical geography and Pleistocene. He studies Deglaciation, a branch of Glacial period. Herbert E. Wright has included themes like Last Glacial Maximum, Sea level, Betula pendula and Tree line in his Deglaciation study.

Herbert E. Wright combines subjects such as Steppe, Pollen, Hydrology, Sedimentology and Chronology with his study of Holocene. His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Climatology and Cenozoic. Herbert E. Wright interconnects Natural and Tectonics in the investigation of issues within Pleistocene.

Between 2001 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cores of soft lake sediments (120 citations)
  • Late Glacial and Holocene vegetational changes on the Ulagan high-mountain plateau, Altai Mountains, southern Siberia (92 citations)
  • Late Glacial and Holocene vegetational history of the Altai Mountains (southwestern Tuva Republic, Siberia) (85 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Pleistocene

His primary scientific interests are in Glacial period, Holocene, Ecology, Physical geography and Ice sheet. Herbert E. Wright works mostly in the field of Glacial period, limiting it down to topics relating to Steppe and, in certain cases, Permafrost and Vegetation, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climatic Processes, Pollen and Taxon.

His Ice sheet research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Watershed, Pleistocene, Quaternary, Arctic and Sea level. His research integrates issues of Radiocarbon dating and Last Glacial Maximum in his study of Deglaciation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Diatom, Biogenic silica, Dominance and Paleoclimatology in addition to Younger Dryas.
