L. Keith Fifield

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Erosion
• Paleontology
• Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pleistocene, Oceanography, Physical geography, Climate change and Glacial period. His research on Pleistocene concerns the broader Paleontology. His Last Glacial Maximum, Ice sheet and Holocene investigations are all subjects of Oceanography research.

His work deals with themes such as Ice age and Deglaciation, which intersect with Last Glacial Maximum. L. Keith Fifield interconnects Bedrock and Weathering in the investigation of issues within Physical geography. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Massif, Discharge and Marinoan glaciation.

His most cited work include:

• Timing of the Last Glacial Maximum from observed sea-level minima (795 citations)
• Early Human Occupation at Devil's Lair, Southwestern Australia 50,000 Years Ago (225 citations)
• The timing of the Last Glacial Maximum in Australia. (182 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Oceanography, Accelerator mass spectrometry, Hydrology and Sediment. The various areas that L. Keith Fifield examines in his Physical geography study include Landform and Cosmogenic nuclide. Oceanography is closely attributed to Glacial period in his work.

His Glacial period research incorporates themes from Climate change and Pleistocene. L. Keith Fifield has included themes like Radiochemistry, Plutonium, Mineralogy and Environmental chemistry in his Accelerator mass spectrometry study. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry and Alluvium.

He most often published in these fields:

• Physical geography (17.56%)
• Oceanography (16.79%)
• Accelerator mass spectrometry (16.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

• Radionuclide (12.98%)
• Geochemistry (12.98%)
• Hydrology (14.50%)

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

Radionuclide, Geochemistry, Hydrology, Earth and Oceanography are his primary areas of study. He combines subjects such as Sedimentation, Plutonium, Physical geography and Sediment core with his study of Radionuclide. He works mostly in the field of Plutonium, limiting it down to concerns involving Radiometric dating and, occasionally, Accelerator mass spectrometry.

His studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Soil water and Latitude. His research integrates issues of Halite and Stable isotope ratio in his study of Hydrology. As part of his studies on Oceanography, L. Keith Fifield often connects relevant subjects like Deposition.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Stranded landscapes in the humid tropics: Earth's oldest land surfaces (17 citations)
• Continuous transport of Pacific-derived anthropogenic radionuclides towards the Indian Ocean. (13 citations)
• Along-strike variation in catchment morphology and cosmogenic denudation rates reveal the pattern and history of footwall uplift, Main Gulf Escarpment, Baja California (12 citations)

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

• Erosion
• Paleontology
• Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of investigation include Escarpment, Denudation, Accelerator mass spectrometry, Radionuclide and Geomorphology. His Escarpment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tectonics, Rift, Lithosphere, Fault and Saprolite. His Denudation research integrates issues from Tectonic uplift, Scarp retreat, Clastic rock and Geochemistry, Outcrop.

His Accelerator mass spectrometry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Deep sea, Supernova, Flux ratio and Isotope. The Radionuclide study combines topics in areas such as Period, Plutonium, Americium, Radiometric dating and Oceanography. His study in Geomorphology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range, Physical geography and Cosmogenic nuclide.
