Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Archaeology

Paleontology, Archaeology, Interglacial, Pleistocene and Amino acid are her primary areas of study. The Holocene and Chronology research Kirsty Penkman does as part of her general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Biological dispersal, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Her Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Glacier and Groenlandia.

Her work often combines Archaeology and Osteocalcin studies. Her research investigates the connection with Interglacial and areas like Biostratigraphy which intersect with concerns in Ice age, Cenozoic, Lithostratigraphy and Calcite. Her Amino acid dating study, which is part of a larger body of work in Amino acid, is frequently linked to Composition, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her most cited work include:

  • Ancient Biomolecules from Deep Ice Cores Reveal a Forested Southern Greenland (332 citations)
  • The earliest record of human activity in northern Europe (300 citations)
  • Closed-system behaviour of the intra-crystalline fraction of amino acids in mollusc shells (147 citations)

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

Kirsty Penkman mainly investigates Paleontology, Archaeology, Pleistocene, Interglacial and Amino acid. Many of her research projects under Archaeology are closely connected to Ancient DNA and Context with Ancient DNA and Context, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her research integrates issues of Arid, Ecology, Radiocarbon dating, Biostratigraphy and Holocene in her study of Pleistocene.

Her studies in Interglacial integrate themes in fields like Sequence and Sea level. Kirsty Penkman has researched Amino acid in several fields, including Environmental chemistry, Chromatography and Racemization. Her Amino acid dating study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Enamel paint and Fluvial.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (29.03%)
  • Archaeology (24.52%)
  • Pleistocene (21.94%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (7.10%)
  • Paleontology (29.03%)
  • Pleistocene (21.94%)

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

Kirsty Penkman focuses on Evolutionary biology, Paleontology, Pleistocene, Amino acid and Early Pleistocene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proteome and Homo antecessor in addition to Evolutionary biology. She combines topics linked to Identification with her work on Paleontology.

The concepts of her Pleistocene study are interwoven with issues in Glacial period and Radiocarbon dating. In general Amino acid study, her work on Aspartic acid often relates to the realm of Foraminifera, thereby connecting several areas of interest. She studied Quaternary and Sea level that intersect with Holocene, Sequence and Ostracod.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Early Pleistocene enamel proteome from Dmanisi resolves Stephanorhinus phylogeny (43 citations)
  • Palaeoproteomics resolves sloth relationships. (35 citations)
  • The dental proteome of Homo antecessor (29 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Biochemistry

Kirsty Penkman mainly investigates Ancient DNA, Evolutionary biology, Amino acid, Biochemistry and Early Pleistocene. Her Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Homo sapiens, Neanderthal and Megalonyx. Her work carried out in the field of Amino acid brings together such families of science as Racemization, Feather, Relative dating and Enamel paint.

Her Feather study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Coral skeleton, Ostrich eggshell and Integument. Her work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Amino acid dating and Protein degradation, overlaps with other areas such as Turning point. Her Early Pleistocene study incorporates themes from Coelodonta, Homo erectus and Stephanorhinus.
