What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Genus
Marion K. Bamford mainly focuses on Paleontology, Ecology, Olduvai Gorge, Taxon and Structural basin.
In general Paleontology study, her work on Cretaceous, Gondwana and Taphonomy often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Her Ecology research focuses on Australopithecus and how it relates to Zoology and Ardipithecus ramidus.
The concepts of her Olduvai Gorge study are interwoven with issues in Plio-Pleistocene, Alluvial fan, Oldowan and Marsh.
Marion K. Bamford works mostly in the field of Taxon, limiting it down to topics relating to Dominance and, in certain cases, Dicynodont, Glossopteris, Pollen and Grassland.
Her research integrates issues of Subtropics, Range and Extinction event in her study of Structural basin.
Her most cited work include:
- Microstratigraphic evidence of in situ fire in the Acheulean strata of Wonderwerk Cave, Northern Cape province, South Africa (314 citations)
- Early evidence of San material culture represented by organic artifacts from Border Cave, South Africa (202 citations)
- Early hominin diet included diverse terrestrial and aquatic animals 1.95 Ma in East Turkana, Kenya (178 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Ecology, Archaeology, Vegetation and Fossil wood.
Her study in Structural basin, Permian, Gondwana, Olduvai Gorge and Cretaceous falls under the purview of Paleontology.
Her Olduvai Gorge study combines topics in areas such as Oldowan, Taphonomy, Macrofossil, Phytolith and Facies.
Marion K. Bamford works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Botany and, in certain cases, Anatomy, as a part of the same area of interest.
In the field of Archaeology, her study on Cave, Middle Stone Age, Later Stone Age and Rock shelter overlaps with subjects such as Context.
Her Vegetation study also includes fields such as
- Holocene and related Glacial period,
- Pleistocene and related Basalt.
She most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (51.59%)
- Ecology (25.48%)
- Archaeology (21.02%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Archaeology (21.02%)
- Paleontology (51.59%)
- Holocene (9.55%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Archaeology, Paleontology, Holocene, Period and Physical geography are her primary areas of study.
Her Later Stone Age and Plio-Pleistocene study, which is part of a larger body of work in Archaeology, is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Her Phytolith research extends to Paleontology, which is thematically connected.
Her research in Holocene focuses on subjects like Vegetation, which are connected to Cave.
Her Period research incorporates themes from Palynology and Pollen.
In Physical geography, Marion K. Bamford works on issues like Last Glacial Maximum, which are connected to Marine isotope stage, Marine transgression and Wetland.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Umkomasia (megasporophyll): part 1 of a reassessment of Gondwana Triassic plant genera and a reclassification of some previously attributed (6 citations)
- The upper limb of Paranthropus boisei from Ileret, Kenya. (5 citations)
- A missing piece of the Papio puzzle: Gorongosa baboon phenostructure and intrageneric relationships. (5 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Genus
- Paleontology
Marion K. Bamford mostly deals with Dicroidium, Gondwana, Paleontology, Phytolith and Diamictite.
Marion K. Bamford regularly links together related areas like Botany in her Dicroidium studies.
Her research related to Taphonomy, Facies, Assemblage, Paleoecology and Oldowan might be considered part of Paleontology.
Marion K. Bamford usually deals with Taphonomy and limits it to topics linked to Olduvai Gorge and Homo erectus, Paranthropus boisei, Paranthropus, Anatomy and Australopithecus.
To a larger extent, Marion K. Bamford studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Phytolith.
Her Diamictite study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Ice age and Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Conglomerate.
