Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Botany

Mike Smith focuses on Archaeology, Arid, Sedimentary depositional environment, Radiocarbon dating and Ecology. His research on Archaeology often connects related areas such as Paleontology. Mike Smith interconnects Cultural heritage management, Landscape ecology, Ephemeral key, Human ecology and Detritivore in the investigation of issues within Arid.

His research integrates issues of Assemblage, Northern australia and Rock shelter in his study of Sedimentary depositional environment. His Radiocarbon dating research incorporates elements of Thermoluminescence dating, Holocene, Sea level, Population growth and Hunter-gatherer. His Ecology and Ecosystem study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Ecological psychology, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • New Ages for the Last Australian Megafauna: Continent-Wide Extinction About 46,000 Years Ago (411 citations)
  • Thermoluminescence dating of a 50,000-year-old human occupation site in northern Australia (402 citations)
  • Human occupation of northern Australia by 65,000 years ago (335 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Archaeology, Radiocarbon dating, Holocene, Pleistocene and Desert. His study brings together the fields of Arid and Archaeology. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Thermoluminescence dating and Radiocarbon dating.

As part of the same scientific family, Mike Smith usually focuses on Holocene, concentrating on Hunter-gatherer and intersecting with Radiometric dating. His study in Pleistocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Human settlement, Sequence and Rock art. His Rock shelter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock and Optical dating.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (50.88%)
  • Radiocarbon dating (20.18%)
  • Holocene (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Archaeology (50.88%)
  • Radiocarbon dating (20.18%)
  • Botany (11.40%)

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

Mike Smith mainly focuses on Archaeology, Radiocarbon dating, Botany, Holocene and Biological dispersal. His studies link Tropical australia with Archaeology. His Radiocarbon dating study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Prehistory and Pleistocene.

His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nymphaea violacea, Ground stone and Cochlospermum. His research in Biological dispersal intersects with topics in Megafauna, Ecology, Predation and Extinction. His Megafauna study combines topics in areas such as Stone tool, Human migration, Sedimentary depositional environment, Assemblage and Rock shelter.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human occupation of northern Australia by 65,000 years ago (335 citations)
  • Human predation contributed to the extinction of the Australian megafaunal bird Genyornis newtoni ~47 ka (31 citations)
  • OpFlex Control Protocol (30 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Archaeology

His main research concerns Biological dispersal, Ecology, Archaeology, Plant foods and Southeast asia. His Biological dispersal study frequently links to related topics such as Megafauna. The various areas that Mike Smith examines in his Megafauna study include Human migration, Reproductive success, Sedimentary depositional environment, Assemblage and Rock shelter.

His work deals with themes such as Genyornis and Extinction, which intersect with Ecology. His work on Prehistory, Radiocarbon dating and Stone tool is typically connected to Probability plot and Context as part of general Archaeology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Plant foods research spans across into subjects like Holocene, Habitat and Range.
