Overview

Paula J. Reimer is affiliated with Queen's University Belfast in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on Earth and Planetary Sciences, with specific contributions across Atmospheric Science, Paleontology, Archaeology, Anthropology, and Ecology. The research work spans topics such as archaeology and ancient environmental studies, geology and paleoclimatology research, isotope analysis in ecology, Pleistocene-era hominins and archaeology, forensic anthropology and bioarchaeology studies, paleopathology and ancient diseases, as well as Pacific and Southeast Asian studies.

Reimer has contributed extensively to the field of radiocarbon dating and calibration. Notable recent papers include:

The IntCal20 Northern Hemisphere Radiocarbon Age Calibration Curve (0-55 cal kBP) (2020) published in Radiocarbon
Marine20-The Marine Radiocarbon Age Calibration Curve (0-55,000 cal BP) (2020) published in Radiocarbon
SHCal20 Southern Hemisphere Calibration, 0-55,000 Years cal BP (2020) published in Radiocarbon
The IntCal20 Approach to Radiocarbon Calibration Curve Construction: A New Methodology Using Bayesian Splines and Errors-in-Variables (2020) published in Radiocarbon
Radiocarbon: A key tracer for studying Earth's dynamo, climate system, carbon cycle, and Sun (2021) published in Science

The publications are primarily featured in the journal Radiocarbon, which includes 22 publications by Reimer. Other frequent publication venues include Scientific Reports, Publishing Network for Geoscientific and Environmental Data (PANGAEA) affiliated with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Boreas, and the Journal of Archaeological Science Reports.

Frequent collaborators in research include Christopher Bronk Ramsey, Timothy Heaton, Édouard Bard, Maarten Blaauw, and Jesper Olsen. These partnerships reflect a focus on radiocarbon calibration and related geoscientific topics.

Reimer's research contributes to several interdisciplinary fields involving the study of past environments, archaeological dating, and isotope analysis applied to ecological and anthropological contexts. The work supports broader understanding in paleoclimatology and archaeological sciences through methodological advancements and calibration curve development.

Among professional recognitions, Reimer was made a Member of the Royal Irish Academy in 2014.
