Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

Naomi E. Levin focuses on Ecology, Paleontology, Paleosol, Pleistocene and Homo erectus. Her studies deal with areas such as Homo ergaster and Isotopes of oxygen as well as Ecology. Her Paleontology research incorporates elements of Ardipithecus ramidus, δ18O and Meteoric water.

Her Paleosol research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Structural basin, Earth science, Stage, Soil surface and East africa. Her research integrates issues of Sedimentary depositional environment, Geochemistry, Human evolution and Paleoclimatology in her study of Pleistocene. Her Homo erectus research includes elements of Anatomy, Pelvis, Hominidae and Altricial.

Her most cited work include:

  • Woody cover and hominin environments in the past 6 million years (371 citations)
  • High-temperature environments of human evolution in East Africa based on bond ordering in paleosol carbonates (302 citations)
  • High-temperature environments of human evolution in East Africa based on bond ordering in paleosol carbonates (302 citations)

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

Ecology, Isotopes of oxygen, Paleontology, Pleistocene and Context are her primary areas of study. In her study, Homo erectus, Pelvis and Anatomy is inextricably linked to Hominidae, which falls within the broad field of Ecology. The Isotopes of oxygen study which covers Meteoric water that intersects with δ18O, Aquifer and Potential temperature.

Her research in the fields of Rift and Plio-Pleistocene overlaps with other disciplines such as Paleosol and East africa. Her studies in Pleistocene integrate themes in fields like Cape, Fauna and Holocene. The Earth science study combines topics in areas such as Environmental change, Human evolution and Vegetation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (28.71%)
  • Isotopes of oxygen (26.73%)
  • Paleontology (26.73%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Isotopes of oxygen (26.73%)
  • Geochemistry (11.88%)
  • Paleontology (26.73%)

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

Naomi E. Levin focuses on Isotopes of oxygen, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Pleistocene and Paleosol. Her Isotopes of oxygen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Speleothem, Proxy and Pedogenesis. Her research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Cave, Hydrology, Paleoclimatology and Global change.

In general Paleontology, her work in Holocene, Range and Australopithecus afarensis is often linked to Context and Riparian forest linking many areas of study. Her Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Floristics, Period, Ecology and Fluvial. Her work on Earth science is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Arid.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Co-occurrence of Acheulian and Oldowan artifacts with Homo erectus cranial fossils from Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. (8 citations)
  • Ardipithecus ramidus postcrania from the Gona Project area, Afar Regional State, Ethiopia. (8 citations)
  • Triple Oxygen Isotopes in Meteoric Waters, Carbonates, and Biological Apatites: Implications for Continental Paleoclimate Reconstruction (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

Naomi E. Levin spends much of her time researching Isotopes of oxygen, Water cycle, δ18O, Paleoclimatology and Geochemistry. Her Isotopes of oxygen research integrates issues from Isotope geochemistry, Atmospheric sciences and Kinetic fractionation. Her Water cycle study incorporates themes from Isotopic composition, Physical geography, Convective storm detection and Storm intensity.

Her δ18O study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Meteoric water.
