Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Paleontology, Ecology, Zoology, Cetacea and Fossil Record are his primary areas of study. His studies in Paleontology integrate themes in fields like Fauna and Isotopes of carbon. His work on Taxon as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Transformation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research investigates the connection between Zoology and topics such as Lemur that intersect with problems in Cretaceous and Arboreal locomotion. His Cetacea research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hippopotamidae and Rodhocetus. His work carried out in the field of Fossil Record brings together such families of science as Anagenesis, Plesiadapis, Sympatric speciation, Permanent tooth and Pelycodus.

His most cited work include:

  • Correlation between isotope records in marine and continental carbon reservoirs near the Palaeocene/Eocene boundary (505 citations)
  • Review of Ichthyodectiform and Other Mesozoic Teleost Fishes and the Theory and Practice of Classifying Fossils. (379 citations)
  • Rates of evolution: effects of time and temporal scaling. (349 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Archaeology, Fauna, Zoology and Structural basin. His study in Paleontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cetacea and Genus. As part of his studies on Archaeology, Philip D. Gingerich often connects relevant subjects like Sirenia.

His Fauna study improves the overall literature in Ecology. His Zoology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Adapidae. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Structural basin and Paleosol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (52.74%)
  • Archaeology (17.58%)
  • Fauna (12.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Paleontology (52.74%)
  • Anatomy (9.22%)
  • Cetacea (8.93%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Anatomy, Cetacea, Ecology and Fauna. His Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Archaeoceti and Isotopes of carbon. His work on Dorudon as part of general Archaeoceti research is often related to Aegyptocetus, thus linking different fields of science.

His work deals with themes such as Postcrania, Remingtonocetidae and Claw, which intersect with Anatomy. His Cetacea research incorporates elements of Whale, Baleen, Skull and Sirenia. The concepts of his Whale study are interwoven with issues in Archaeology and Paleoecology.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Two massive, rapid releases of carbon during the onset of the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum (99 citations)
  • Shark and ray faunas in the Middle and Late Eocene of the Fayum Area, Egypt (65 citations)
  • Terrestrial carbon isotope excursions and biotic change during Palaeogene hyperthermals (62 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Anatomy, Cetacea, Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 and Postcrania. His studies deal with areas such as Fauna and Archaeoceti as well as Paleontology. His Archaeoceti research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Basilosauridae and Protocetidae.

His Anatomy research includes elements of Remingtonocetidae, Fossil Record and Morphology. Philip D. Gingerich has researched Cetacea in several fields, including Skull, Cranial asymmetry, Whale, Baleen and Mammal. Philip D. Gingerich interconnects Late Miocene, Most recent common ancestor and Vertebral column in the investigation of issues within Postcrania.
