Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Agriculture

Martin Williams mostly deals with Quaternary, Monsoon, Oceanography, Pleistocene and Paleontology. His Quaternary research integrates issues from Hydrology, BENGAL and Holocene. His study in Monsoon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Westerlies, Subtropics, Last Glacial Maximum and Northern Hemisphere.

Martin Williams focuses mostly in the field of Oceanography, narrowing it down to matters related to Tropics and, in some cases, Sea level, Ocean current, Pluvial and Deforestation. His research combines Arid and Pleistocene. His Caldera, Sedimentary rock and Cranial anatomy study in the realm of Paleontology interacts with subjects such as Hominidae.

His most cited work include:

  • Birth of a biome: insights into the assembly and maintenance of the Australian arid zone biota. (466 citations)
  • The Sahara and the Nile. (268 citations)
  • Late Quaternary history of the Nile (224 citations)

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

Martin Williams focuses on Quaternary, Archaeology, Paleontology, Physical geography and Pleistocene. Particularly relevant to Sahara pump theory is his body of work in Quaternary. The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Hydrology, Monsoon and Climate change.

His Monsoon study results in a more complete grasp of Climatology. His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Floodplain, Alluvium, Last Glacial Maximum, Holocene and Arid. His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock and Radiocarbon dating.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Quaternary (19.19%)
  • Archaeology (16.67%)
  • Paleontology (17.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Archaeology (16.67%)
  • Psychotherapist (3.03%)
  • Quaternary (19.19%)

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

Martin Williams mainly investigates Archaeology, Psychotherapist, Quaternary, Holocene and Psilocybin. His study in the fields of Prehistory under the domain of Archaeology overlaps with other disciplines such as Confluence. His research in Quaternary intersects with topics in Structural basin and Oceanography, Submarine pipeline.

The Quaternary science research Martin Williams does as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Nile delta, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His research in Holocene is mostly concerned with Sahara pump theory. His Arid research includes elements of Desertification and Pleistocene.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • When did homo sapiens first reach Southeast Asia and Sahul (70 citations)
  • A new model of river dynamics, hydroclimatic change and human settlement in the Nile Valley derived from meta-analysis of the Holocene fluvial archive (61 citations)
  • Shifting sediment sources in the world's longest river: a strontium isotope record for the Holocene Nile (48 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Agriculture

Martin Williams mainly focuses on Archaeology, Quaternary, Prehistory, Holocene and Hydrology. Conurbation and Pleistocene are among the areas of Archaeology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. The various areas that Martin Williams examines in his Quaternary study include Nile basin, Oceanography, Source to sink and Domestication.

His Prehistory study incorporates themes from Disturbance, Geomorphology and Submarine pipeline. His study of Sahara pump theory is a part of Holocene. His Hydrology research incorporates elements of Environmental geology, Landform and Palaeochannel.
