Overview

Ian G. Stanistreet is affiliated with the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom and has a research focus primarily within Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work intersects several subfields including Anthropology, Atmospheric Science, Paleontology, Geology, and Archeology. This multidisciplinary approach extends across studies related to Pleistocene-era hominins, geological and paleoclimatology research, as well as evolution and paleontology.

Their research topics encompass:

  • Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology
  • Geology and Paleoclimatology Research
  • Evolution and Paleontology Studies
  • Geological and Geophysical Studies
  • Forensic Anthropology and Bioarchaeology Studies
  • Geological formations and processes
  • Geological and Geochemical Analysis

Stanistreet has contributed to a number of recent publications, with a concentration of work published in the journal Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology. Notable papers include:

  • New Olduvai Basin stratigraphy and stratigraphic concepts revealed by OGCP cores into the Palaeolake Olduvai depocentre, Tanzania (2020), Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology
  • Palaeosalinity and palaeoclimatic geochemical proxies (elements Ti, Mg, Al) vary with Milankovitch cyclicity (1.3 to 2.0 Ma), OGCP cores, Palaeolake Olduvai, Tanzania (2020), Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology

Their work is often situated alongside research by various coauthors, frequently collaborating with researchers such as Harald Stollhofen, Jackson K. Njau, Kathy Schick, Nicholas Toth, and Lindsay J. McHenry. These partnerships contribute to a broad examination of geological and archaeological questions.

Stanistreet's publications have appeared predominantly in the following venues:

  • Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology
  • Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America
  • Journal of Human Evolution
  • Journal of Anthropological Archaeology
  • Journal of Archaeological Science
