What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Optics
- Ecology
His primary scientific interests are in Archaeology, Quartz, Thermoluminescence, Luminescence and Optically stimulated luminescence.
His study looks at the intersection of Archaeology and topics like Paleontology with Upper Paleolithic.
Nigel A. Spooner focuses mostly in the field of Quartz, narrowing it down to topics relating to Wavelength and, in certain cases, Sunlight and Ultraviolet.
His studies in Luminescence integrate themes in fields like Feldspar and Mineralogy.
He has included themes like Arid, Ecology, Marsupial and Desert climate in his Megafauna study.
His Australian megafauna study incorporates themes from Rock shelter, Extinction event, Pleistocene megafauna and Cuddie Springs.
His most cited work include:
- New ages for human occupation and climatic change at Lake Mungo, Australia (542 citations)
- New ages for human occupation and climatic change at Lake Mungo, Australia (542 citations)
- Pleistocene Extinction of Genyornis newtoni: Human Impact on Australian Megafauna (301 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Luminescence, Analytical chemistry, Thermoluminescence, Mineralogy and Optically stimulated luminescence.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Radiation and Emission spectrum.
His study looks at the relationship between Analytical chemistry and topics such as Core, which overlap with Fluorescence and Polymer.
Nigel A. Spooner combines subjects such as Quartz and Dosimetry with his study of Thermoluminescence.
His work on Thermoluminescence dating as part of general Mineralogy study is frequently connected to Radionuclide, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His work in the fields of Australian megafauna and Megafauna overlaps with other areas such as Context.
He most often published in these fields:
- Luminescence (35.71%)
- Analytical chemistry (27.27%)
- Thermoluminescence (22.08%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Quartz (12.99%)
- Optoelectronics (20.13%)
- Luminescence (35.71%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nigel A. Spooner mainly focuses on Quartz, Optoelectronics, Luminescence, Range and Scintillation.
In his research, Radiochemistry is intimately related to Alpha, which falls under the overarching field of Quartz.
His studies deal with areas such as Optical fiber and Transmission loss as well as Optoelectronics.
In general Luminescence study, his work on Thermoluminescence and Optically stimulated luminescence often relates to the realm of Nearest neighbour, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His study in Thermoluminescence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Excited state and Ground state.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary rock, Mineralogy, Pulse and Atomic physics in addition to Optically stimulated luminescence.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- When did homo sapiens first reach Southeast Asia and Sahul (70 citations)
- Topological carbon nitride: localized photon absorption and delocalized charge carrier separation at intertwined photocatalyst interfaces (18 citations)
- Single-grain TT-OSL bleaching characteristics: Insights from modern analogues and OSL dating comparisons (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Optics
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pleistocene, Quartz, Southeast asia, Archaeology and Human migration.
His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thermoluminescence dating, Sedimentary rock, Sedimentary depositional environment, Series and Optical dating.
His Quartz research incorporates themes from Alpha, Thermoluminescence and Analytical chemistry.
His work on Wavelength expands to the thematically related Thermoluminescence.
His Wavelength study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular physics, Attenuation and Transmission loss.
His research combines Period and Archaeology.
