Their recent publications demonstrate an engagement with diverse aspects of geosciences and environmental research. Notable papers include:

  • "Rare earth element and neodymium isotope tracing of sedimentary rock weathering" (2020, Chemical Geology)
  • "Toward a global calibration for quantifying past oxygenation in oxygen minimum zones using benthic Foraminifera" (2021, Biogeosciences)
  • "Shut down of the South American summer monsoon during the penultimate glacial" (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • "Enhanced Mid-depth Southward Transport in the Northeast Atlantic at the Last Glacial Maximum Despite a Weaker AMOC" (2020, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology)
  • "Drivers of Late Miocene Tropical Sea Surface Cooling: A New Perspective From the Equatorial Indian Ocean" (2022, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology)

Kazuyo Tachikawa's work has been published in several frequent venues, with multiple papers appearing in:

  • Quaternary Science Reviews
  • Biogeosciences
  • Publishing Network for Geoscientific and Environmental Data (PANGAEA) (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research)
  • Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
  • Geoscientific Model Development

The scientist's research often intersects with major topics such as geology and paleoclimatology research, geological formations and processes, isotope analysis in ecology, geochemistry and elemental analysis, paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils, marine and coastal ecosystems, and Pleistocene-era hominins and archaeology. These topics reflect a broad and integrated approach to understanding Earth's past environments and climate dynamics.

In collaboration, Kazuyo Tachikawa frequently works with other researchers, including Édouard Bard, Marta Garcia, Frauke Rostek, Pierre Deschamps, and Laurence Vidal. These collaborations shape a network of expertise contributing to various facets of geoscientific investigation.
