Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

Janet M. Wilmshurst mostly deals with Ecology, Deforestation, Vegetation, Holocene and Ecosystem. Her Ecology research focuses on Polynesians and how it connects with Grassland. Janet M. Wilmshurst combines subjects such as Sediment and Pollen with her study of Vegetation.

Her Holocene research incorporates elements of Climatology and Physical geography. Her Ecosystem research includes themes of Anthropocene and Environmental resource management. Her Paleoecology study also includes fields such as

  • Remote Oceania that intertwine with fields like Rattus exulans,
  • Megafauna that connect with fields like Biodiversity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Changes in Fire Regimes Since the Last Glacial Maximum: An Assessment Based on a Global Synthesis and Analysis of Charcoal Data (466 citations)
  • Dating the late prehistoric dispersal of Polynesians to New Zealand using the commensal Pacific rat. (363 citations)
  • High-precision radiocarbon dating shows recent and rapid initial human colonization of East Polynesia (333 citations)

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

Janet M. Wilmshurst mainly investigates Ecology, Holocene, Vegetation, Physical geography and Ecosystem. Her Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Biological dispersal. Her Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Westerlies, Seasonality, Peat and Southern Hemisphere.

Many of her research projects under Vegetation are closely connected to Deforestation with Deforestation, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. In Physical geography, Janet M. Wilmshurst works on issues like Radiocarbon dating, which are connected to Prehistory, Chronology and Archaeological record. Her Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Conservation biology, Climate change and Introduced species.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (82.54%)
  • Holocene (25.93%)
  • Vegetation (27.51%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (82.54%)
  • Biodiversity (15.34%)
  • Global change (8.47%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Biodiversity, Global change, Physical geography and Extinction. Her work on Biodiversity conservation, Vegetation and Endemism as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Short duration, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Restoration ecology, Climate change, Ecosystem and Wetland.

Her work deals with themes such as Environmental change and Environmental resource management, which intersect with Ecosystem. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climatology, Sea ice, Permafrost, Present day and Paleoecology in addition to Global change. Her Physical geography research includes elements of Montane ecology, Post fire succession, Ecotone and Plot.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Publisher Correction: A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (42 citations)
  • A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (32 citations)
  • Using paleo-archives to safeguard biodiversity under climate change (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Ecosystem

Global change, Holocene, Sea level, Ocean current and Interglacial are her primary areas of study. Her Global change research integrates issues from Extinction, Ecosystem, Ecosystem services and Environmental resource management. The various areas that she examines in her Holocene study include Cartography, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Southern Hemisphere.

The Sea level study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Sea ice, Permafrost, Present day and Ice sheet.
