Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

Holocene, Climate change, Ecology, Oceanography and Paleoclimatology are his primary areas of study. His Holocene research includes themes of δ18O, Deforestation, Maya, Physical geography and Chronology. His Physical geography course of study focuses on Period and Arid, Mesoamerica and Precipitation.

In his work, Sinkhole, Benthic zone and Isotopes of oxygen is strongly intertwined with Ostracod, which is a subfield of Climate change. His work carried out in the field of Paleoclimatology brings together such families of science as Pleistocene and Interglacial. Sediment is closely connected to Nutrient content in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Paleolimnology.

His most cited work include:

  • Possible role of climate in the collapse of Classic Maya civilization (697 citations)
  • Solar Forcing of Drought Frequency in the Maya Lowlands (441 citations)
  • Climate Variability on the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) during the Past 3500 Years, and Implications for Maya Cultural Evolution (349 citations)

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

Mark Brenner mainly investigates Sediment, Ecology, Holocene, Physical geography and Oceanography. His study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology, Organic matter, Eutrophication and Diatom. His Holocene study deals with Paleoclimatology intersecting with Maya.

His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary rock, Climate change and Radiocarbon dating. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Period, Climatology and Pleistocene. Oceanography is often connected to Glacial period in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sediment (32.29%)
  • Ecology (26.56%)
  • Holocene (23.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Holocene (23.96%)
  • Ecology (26.56%)
  • Sediment (32.29%)

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

His main research concerns Holocene, Ecology, Sediment, Oceanography and Physical geography. His work on Temperature record as part of his general Holocene study is frequently connected to Volcanism, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work deals with themes such as Karst and Altitude, which intersect with Ecology.

His studies deal with areas such as Diatom, Carbon cycle and Eutrophication as well as Sediment. His Oceanography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Organic matter, Glacial period, Total organic carbon and Shallow lake. Mark Brenner focuses mostly in the field of Physical geography, narrowing it down to matters related to Radiocarbon dating and, in some cases, Fluvial, Freshwater ecosystem and Invertebrate.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Decoupled early Holocene summer temperature and monsoon precipitation in southwest China (34 citations)
  • Quantification of drought during the collapse of the classic Maya civilization (32 citations)
  • A long-term decrease in the persistence of soil carbon caused by ancient Maya land use (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Mark Brenner focuses on Oceanography, Holocene, Physical geography, Younger Dryas and Organic matter. His Oceanography research focuses on subjects like Glacial period, which are linked to Teleconnection, Peninsula, δ13C and Paleoclimatology. His Holocene study incorporates themes from Ecology and Total inorganic carbon.

The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Climate change, Radiocarbon dating and Vegetation type. His studies in Younger Dryas integrate themes in fields like Climatology, Monsoon, Temperature record, Ice sheet and Isotopes of oxygen. His Organic matter study also includes

  • Isotopes of carbon that connect with fields like Isotope analysis,
  • Diatom which intersects with area such as Sediment.
