What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Archaeology
- Ecology
- Paleontology
Karl W. Butzer focuses on Archaeology, Pleistocene, Civilization, Paleontology and Ancient history.
His study in Archaeology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Human ecology, Settlement and Land use.
His Settlement study incorporates themes from Old World, Vegetation, Land management, Archaeological science and Social ecological model.
His studies deal with areas such as Radiocarbon dating and Holocene as well as Pleistocene.
His Civilization research incorporates themes from Traditional knowledge, Irrigation, Politics and Axum.
His Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Culture change and Ecology.
His most cited work include:
- Archaeology as human ecology : method and theory for a contextual approach (500 citations)
- Radiocarbon dating of East african lake levels. (358 citations)
- Archaeology as human ecology (325 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Karl W. Butzer spends much of his time researching Archaeology, Pleistocene, Paleontology, Anthropology and Ancient history.
His research integrates issues of Settlement and Land use in his study of Archaeology.
His Pleistocene research integrates issues from Glacial period, Quaternary, Sea level and Holocene.
In general Paleontology study, his work on Structural basin, Cenozoic and Sedimentary rock often relates to the realm of Stratigraphy, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Karl W. Butzer combines subjects such as Environmental history and Sustainability with his study of Geoarchaeology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Archaeology (38.33%)
- Pleistocene (19.82%)
- Paleontology (13.22%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?
- Environmental history (5.73%)
- Geoarchaeology (5.29%)
- Archaeology (38.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Environmental history, Geoarchaeology, Archaeology, Sustainability and Environmental resource management.
His Environmental history research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Empire, Environmental change, Political ecology and Hydrology, Environmental degradation.
His Geoarchaeology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geomorphology, Floodplain, Multidisciplinary approach and Land use.
The Archaeology study combines topics in areas such as Nivation and Ancient history.
The various areas that Karl W. Butzer examines in his Sustainability study include Social science and Environmental planning.
His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climate change adaptation and Fluvial.
