What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Oceanography
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Radiocarbon dating, Paleoclimatology, Younger Dryas and Paleontology.
He focuses mostly in the field of Oceanography, narrowing it down to topics relating to Glacial period and, in certain cases, Ice sheet, Structural basin and Ice core.
His Ice core study combines topics in areas such as Epigravettian, Multi proxy and Geomorphology.
His Radiocarbon dating research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pleistocene and Physical geography.
His research integrates issues of Tropical Atlantic and Intertropical Convergence Zone in his study of Paleoclimatology.
The concepts of his Younger Dryas study are interwoven with issues in Deglaciation and Quaternary.
His most cited work include:
- IntCal13 and Marine13 radiocarbon age calibration curves 0-50,000 years cal BP (11727 citations)
- INTCAL98 Radiocarbon Age Calibration, 24,000-0 cal BP (3970 citations)
- IntCal04 terrestrial radiocarbon age calibration, 0-26 cal kyr BP (3377 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Konrad A Hughen mainly investigates Oceanography, Dendrochronology, Subfossil, Pinus and Sample.
His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glacial period and Sediment.
His Glacial period research incorporates elements of Climate change, Climatology, Ice core and Radiocarbon dating.
The various areas that Konrad A Hughen examines in his Ice core study include Younger Dryas, Paleontology and Stadial.
When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, his work on Before Present, Chronology and Varve is frequently linked to work in Calibration, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His work on Absolute dating as part of general Radiocarbon dating study is frequently linked to Foraminifera, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (28.52%)
- Dendrochronology (23.70%)
- Subfossil (22.59%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Sediment core (17.04%)
- Geochemistry (15.19%)
- Oceanography (28.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Konrad A Hughen mostly deals with Sediment core, Geochemistry, Oceanography, Radiocarbon dating and Environmental science.
His Oceanography research focuses on subjects like Sediment, which are linked to Structural basin.
His studies deal with areas such as Inversion, Physical geography and Extinction event as well as Radiocarbon dating.
His Physical geography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ocean circulation model, Archaeological record, Agathis australis and Earth system science.
His studies in Coral integrate themes in fields like Reef, East Asian Monsoon, El Niño Southern Oscillation and Microbial ecology.
His Sea surface temperature research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glacial period, Deglaciation, Salinity, Climate change and Ocean current.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- THE INTCAL20 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE RADIOCARBON AGE CALIBRATION CURVE (0–55 CAL kBP) (332 citations)
- Consistently dated Atlantic sediment cores over the last 40 thousand years (118 citations)
- Marine20—The Marine Radiocarbon Age Calibration Curve (0–55,000 cal BP) (78 citations)
