Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Lionel Carter mainly investigates Oceanography, Glacial period, Interglacial, Terrigenous sediment and Turbidity current. His study in Cryosphere, Sea ice, Antarctic sea ice, Younger Dryas and Last Glacial Maximum are all subfields of Oceanography. His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology, Tephra, Quaternary and Pleistocene.

As part of one scientific family, Lionel Carter deals mainly with the area of Interglacial, narrowing it down to issues related to the Subtropics, and often Oceanic climate, Foraminifera and Temperate climate. His work focuses on many connections between Terrigenous sediment and other disciplines, such as Continental shelf, that overlap with his field of interest in Fluvial and Marine transgression. Lionel Carter has included themes like Typhoon, Canyon, Seabed and Boundary current in his Turbidity current study.

His most cited work include:

  • Obliquity-paced Pliocene West Antarctic ice sheet oscillations (438 citations)
  • Towards a climate event stratigraphy for New Zealand over the past 30 000 years (NZ‐INTIMATE project) (262 citations)
  • Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse 1A from reduced Southern Ocean overturning (126 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Sediment, Paleontology, Continental shelf and Glacial period. The various areas that he examines in his Oceanography study include Sedimentary rock, Terrigenous sediment and Interglacial. His research integrates issues of Erosion and Continental margin in his study of Sediment.

Lionel Carter focuses mostly in the field of Paleontology, narrowing it down to matters related to Table and, in some cases, Trace element. The Continental shelf study which covers Trough that intersects with Pacific Plate, Subduction and Seismology. Lionel Carter works mostly in the field of Glacial period, limiting it down to topics relating to Quaternary and, in certain cases, Tephra, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (63.60%)
  • Sediment (23.68%)
  • Paleontology (18.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Oceanography (63.60%)
  • Sediment (23.68%)
  • Climatology (9.21%)

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

Oceanography, Sediment, Climatology, Subtropical front and Submarine are his primary areas of study. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Glacial period and Interglacial. His work on Deglaciation as part of his general Glacial period study is frequently connected to Carbon pool, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Sediment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Continental shelf, Deep sea and Table. His Submarine research includes elements of Turbidity current and Natural hazard. His Antarctic ice sheet study which covers Ice sheet that intersects with Antarctic sea ice.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse 1A from reduced Southern Ocean overturning (126 citations)
  • Insights into Submarine Geohazards from Breaks in Subsea Telecommunication Cables (71 citations)
  • Reduced ventilation and enhanced magnitude of the deep Pacific carbon pool during the last glacial period (69 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Sediment

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Seismology, Water mass, Turbidity current and Ice sheet. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Glacial period, Interglacial, Climatology and Sediment transport. The Seismic noise, Shadow zone and Microseism research Lionel Carter does as part of his general Seismology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Love wave, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

The Water mass study combines topics in areas such as Surface water, Foraminifera, Globigerina bulloides, Globigerina and South Pacific Gyre. His study in Turbidity current is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Landslide, Submarine landslide, Submarine, Typhoon and Canyon. His studies in Ice sheet integrate themes in fields like Cryosphere, Sea ice, Antarctic ice sheet, Ice-sheet model and Antarctic sea ice.
