Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Quaternary, Pleistocene, Dinoflagellate and Oceanography. His work deals with themes such as Climate change and Northern Hemisphere, which intersect with Paleontology. Martin J. Head combines subjects such as Stage and Stratotype with his study of Quaternary.

His Marine isotope stage study, which is part of a larger body of work in Pleistocene, is frequently linked to Climate state, bridging the gap between disciplines. Martin J. Head has researched Dinoflagellate in several fields, including Taxon, Range, Cenozoic and Acritarch. Relative species abundance is closely connected to Dinocyst in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Oceanography.

His most cited work include:

  • Formal ratification of the Quaternary System/Period and the Pleistocene Series/Epoch with a base at 2.58 Ma (481 citations)
  • Distribution of recent dinoflagellate cysts in surface sediments from the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas in relation to sea-surface parameters (332 citations)
  • Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages as tracers of sea‐surface conditions in the northern North Atlantic, Arctic and sub‐Arctic seas: the new ‘n = 677’ data base and its application for quantitative palaeoceanographic reconstruction (278 citations)

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

Martin J. Head spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Dinoflagellate, Pleistocene, Oceanography and Quaternary. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Palynology. While the research belongs to areas of Dinoflagellate, he spends his time largely on the problem of Taxon, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Taxonomy.

In his study, Northern Hemisphere is strongly linked to Glacial period, which falls under the umbrella field of Pleistocene. His study ties his expertise on Dinocyst together with the subject of Oceanography. His study in Quaternary is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stage, Paleoecology and Holocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (65.26%)
  • Dinoflagellate (42.63%)
  • Pleistocene (29.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (65.26%)
  • Dinoflagellate (42.63%)
  • Anthropocene (7.37%)

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

Martin J. Head mostly deals with Paleontology, Dinoflagellate, Anthropocene, Quaternary and Genus. Pleistocene, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Series, Holocene and Outcrop are among the areas of Paleontology where Martin J. Head concentrates his study. Martin J. Head studies Marine isotope stage which is a part of Pleistocene.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology, Palynology, Pollen, Taxon and Northern Hemisphere. Martin J. Head regularly links together related areas like Biostratigraphy in his Quaternary studies. His Genus research includes elements of Nomenclature and Cenozoic.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Formal ratification of the subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch (Quaternary System/Period) : two new Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs) and three new stages/subseries. (80 citations)
  • Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the Anthropocene Series: Where and how to look for potential candidates (47 citations)
  • Subdividing the Holocene Series/Epoch: formalization of stages/ages and subseries/subepochs, and designation of GSSPs and auxiliary stratotypes (38 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Series, Holocene and Ice core. The study incorporates disciplines such as Baltic sea, Dinoflagellate and Genus in addition to Paleontology. His Series research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anthropocene and Geologic time scale.

His Geologic time scale study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Speleothem, Coral reef, Chronostratigraphy, Facies and Boundary. His research combines Quaternary and Holocene. The Quaternary study combines topics in areas such as Stage, Stratotype, Period and Pleistocene.
