Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Paleontology

Her primary areas of investigation include Archaeology, Cape, Prehistory, Isotope analysis and Ecology. Her work in Behavioral modernity, Howiesons Poort, Middle Stone Age, Holocene and Bay is related to Archaeology. Her Cape research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isotopic composition and Radiocarbon dating.

Judith Sealy has included themes like Animal bone and Diagenesis in her Prehistory study. The Trophic level, Duiker, Giraffa camelopardalis and Tragelaphus research Judith Sealy does as part of her general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Taurotragus, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her Trophic level study combines topics in areas such as Range, Herbivore, Food chain, Fauna and Apatite.

Her most cited work include:

  • Stable carbon isotope ratio differences between bone collagen and bone apatite, and their relationship to diet (615 citations)
  • Emergence of modern human behavior: Middle Stone Age engravings from South Africa. (598 citations)
  • Nitrogen isotopic ecology in southern Africa: Implications for environmental and dietary tracing (411 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Archaeology, Holocene, Ecology, Cape and Cave. Her study in Archaeology focuses on Later Stone Age, Radiocarbon dating, Prehistory, Bay and Middle Stone Age. As part of the same scientific family, Judith Sealy usually focuses on Holocene, concentrating on Pleistocene and intersecting with Paleoclimatology.

Her study in the field of Herbivore, Trophic level, Range and Fauna is also linked to topics like δ13C. Her work on δ15N as part of general δ13C research is frequently linked to Bone collagen, bridging the gap between disciplines. The various areas that she examines in her Cave study include Paleontology and Last Glacial Maximum.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (41.22%)
  • Holocene (25.95%)
  • Ecology (18.32%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Archaeology (41.22%)
  • Holocene (25.95%)
  • Ecology (18.32%)

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

Judith Sealy focuses on Archaeology, Holocene, Ecology, δ13C and Fauna. Judith Sealy combines subjects such as Period and Economic geography with her study of Archaeology. Her Period research focuses on Shore and how it connects with Radiocarbon dating and Cape.

Her Holocene research also works with subjects such as

  • Glacial period that intertwine with fields like Physical geography and Cave,
  • Pleistocene which is related to area like Paleoclimatology. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, her work on Organic matter, Arid and Isotope analysis is frequently linked to work in Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her δ13C research incorporates themes from Isotopes of nitrogen and δ18O.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Stable isotope record implicates aridification without warming during the late Capitanian mass extinction (11 citations)
  • Investigation of organic matter and biomarkers from Diepkloof Rock Shelter, South Africa: insights into Middle Stone Age site usage and palaeoclimate (11 citations)
  • Climate and ecology of the palaeo-Agulhas Plain from stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in bovid tooth enamel from Nelson Bay Cave, South Africa (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Paleontology

Judith Sealy mostly deals with Ecology, Pleistocene, Holocene, Fauna and Physical geography. Her study on Taphonomy, Organic matter and Howiesons Poort is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Ecology. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Pleistocene, Upwelling, Climatology, Archaeological record and Westerlies is strongly linked to Paleoclimatology.

Her studies examine the connections between Holocene and genetics, as well as such issues in Glacial period, with regards to Sea level and Headland. Her study looks at the relationship between Fauna and fields such as Biome, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Her studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Cave, Mesowear, Ungulate and Last Glacial Maximum.
