What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Glacier
- Ecology
- Paleontology
Ólafur Ingólfsson spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Glacial period, Ice sheet, Deglaciation and Paleontology.
Oceanography is often connected to Peat in his work.
His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chronology, Quaternary, Pleistocene and Holocene.
His Ice sheet research also works with subjects such as
- Antarctic sea ice that intertwine with fields like Ice stream,
- Sea ice which is related to area like Ecology.
His Deglaciation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Post-glacial rebound and Radiocarbon dating.
His work in Arctic ice pack addresses subjects such as Ice age, which are connected to disciplines such as Arctic sea ice decline, Arctic dipole anomaly, Weichselian glaciation and Ice core.
His most cited work include:
- Late quaternary ice sheet history of northern Eurasia (1086 citations)
- The Preboreal oscillation around the Nordic Seas : Terrestrial and lacustrine responses (288 citations)
- Polar and brown bear genomes reveal ancient admixture and demographic footprints of past climate change (249 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Glacial period, Glacier, Paleontology and Ice sheet.
As a part of the same scientific family, Ólafur Ingólfsson mostly works in the field of Oceanography, focusing on Peninsula and, on occasion, Cape.
Ólafur Ingólfsson interconnects Quaternary and Holocene in the investigation of issues within Glacial period.
His research integrates issues of Landform and Surge in his study of Glacier.
Ólafur Ingólfsson has researched Ice sheet in several fields, including Glacier morphology, Ice stream, Antarctic sea ice, Ice-sheet model and Sea ice.
His Ice stream study combines topics in areas such as Ice age and Ice core.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (51.16%)
- Glacial period (43.02%)
- Glacier (52.91%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?
- Holocene (31.40%)
- Paleontology (38.95%)
- Glacier (52.91%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ólafur Ingólfsson mainly investigates Holocene, Paleontology, Glacier, Deglaciation and Physical geography.
His work deals with themes such as Cartography, Sea level, Radiocarbon dating, Sea ice and Tephrochronology, which intersect with Holocene.
In most of his Paleontology studies, his work intersects topics such as Ice sheet.
His study in Glacier is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pleistocene, Glacial period, Landform and Paleoceanography.
Ólafur Ingólfsson has included themes like Trough, Ice age, Structural basin and Stratigraphy in his Deglaciation study.
His Physical geography research integrates issues from Geomorphological mapping, Seabed and Bathymetry.
Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Dynamic Holocene glacial history of St. Jonsfjorden, Svalbard (17 citations)
- Dynamic Holocene glacial history of St. Jonsfjorden, Svalbard (17 citations)
- Svalbard glaciers re‐advanced during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (13 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Glacier
- Climate change
Ólafur Ingólfsson spends much of his time researching Glacier, Paleontology, Holocene, Landform and Pleistocene.
His Paleontology study often links to related topics such as Drumlin.
His studies in Drumlin integrate themes in fields like Sedimentology, Glacial landform and Bedform.
His Modiolus modiolus research incorporates a variety of disciplines, including Glacial period, Deglaciation, Stratigraphy and Ice age.
