What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Oceanography
- Ecology
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Paleontology, Glacial period, Cenozoic and Quaternary.
His Oceanography study is mostly concerned with Foraminifera, Deep sea, Paleoclimatology, Climate change and Ice sheet.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Ocean current and Thermohaline circulation in addition to Paleoclimatology.
His study in Ice sheet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Meltwater and Younger Dryas.
His Neogene and Late Miocene study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Surface, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His work deals with themes such as Volcanism, Water column, Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 and Cretaceous, which intersect with Cenozoic.
His most cited work include:
- Abrupt deep-sea warming, palaeoceanographic changes and benthic extinctions at the end of the Palaeocene (1018 citations)
- Cenozoic evolution of Antarctic glaciation the Circum-Antarctic Ocean and their impact on global paleoceanography (986 citations)
- The middle Miocene climatic transition: East Antarctic ice sheet development, deep ocean circulation and global carbon cycling (635 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Oceanography, Paleontology, Foraminifera, Benthic zone and Younger Dryas are his primary areas of study.
His research integrates issues of Glacial period and Quaternary in his study of Oceanography.
The concepts of his Glacial period study are interwoven with issues in Holocene and Ice sheet.
His research investigates the link between Foraminifera and topics such as Sediment that cross with problems in Structural basin.
In Benthic zone, James P. Kennett works on issues like Table, which are connected to Mineralogy.
James P. Kennett has included themes like Megafauna, Radiocarbon dating and Physical geography in his Younger Dryas study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (51.46%)
- Paleontology (43.20%)
- Foraminifera (25.49%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?
- Oceanography (51.46%)
- Paleontology (43.20%)
- Younger Dryas (12.38%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Paleontology, Younger Dryas, Foraminifera and Quaternary.
His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Structural basin, Sediment and Continental margin.
His Paleontology study incorporates themes from Isotopes of oxygen and Plankton.
His work on Younger Dryas impact hypothesis as part of general Younger Dryas study is frequently linked to COSMIC cancer database, bridging the gap between disciplines.
The various areas that he examines in his Foraminifera study include Glacial period, Deglaciation, Stadial and Oxygen minimum zone.
His study explores the link between Quaternary and topics such as Methane that cross with problems in Geomorphology, Earth science and Environmental chemistry.
Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Methane Hydrates in Pre‐Quaternary Climate Change (78 citations)
- Evidence for deposition of 10 million tonnes of impact spherules across four continents 12,800 y ago. (71 citations)
- 14C reservoir ages show deglacial changes in ocean currents and carbon cycle (71 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Oceanography
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Younger Dryas, Paleontology, Oceanography, Glacial period and Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.
His Younger Dryas research incorporates elements of Glacier, Greenland Ice Sheet Project, Northern Hemisphere and Impact winter.
His study involves Foraminifera, Ocean current and Climate change, a branch of Oceanography.
His studies in Foraminifera integrate themes in fields like Deglaciation and Holocene.
His Younger Dryas impact hypothesis study also includes fields such as
- Lonsdaleite, which have a strong connection to Boundary layer, Paleoclimatology and Meteorite,
- Authigenic, which have a strong connection to Geologic Sediments and Meteoroid.
He focuses mostly in the field of Thermohaline circulation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Physical oceanography and, in certain cases, Cenozoic and Ice sheet.
