Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

R. Lawrence Edwards mainly focuses on Glacial period, Monsoon, Stalagmite, Oceanography and Climatology. His work carried out in the field of Glacial period brings together such families of science as Climate change, Ice core and Physical geography. His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Radiocarbon dating, Northern Hemisphere, Grassland, Vegetation and Calibration curve.

R. Lawrence Edwards combines subjects such as Speleothem and Holocene with his study of Monsoon. His Stalagmite study contributes to a more complete understanding of Cave. R. Lawrence Edwards has researched Climatology in several fields, including δ18O, Meteorology, Intertropical Convergence Zone, Precipitation and Isotopes of oxygen.

His most cited work include:

  • IntCal13 and Marine13 radiocarbon age calibration curves 0-50,000 years cal BP (11727 citations)
  • IntCal04 terrestrial radiocarbon age calibration, 0-26 cal kyr BP (3377 citations)
  • The holocene Asian monsoon : links to solar changes and North Atlantic climate (1660 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Stalagmite, Speleothem, Climatology, Cave and Holocene. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including East Asian Monsoon, Precipitation, Glacial period, δ18O and Physical geography. His studies in Speleothem integrate themes in fields like Chronology, Ice core and Paleoclimatology.

His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oceanography, Climate change and Intertropical Convergence Zone. His studies deal with areas such as Karst, Paleontology, Period and Calcite as well as Cave. As part of his studies on Monsoon, he often connects relevant subjects like Younger Dryas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stalagmite (41.56%)
  • Speleothem (36.19%)
  • Climatology (31.30%)

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

  • Stalagmite (41.56%)
  • Physical geography (26.16%)
  • Holocene (27.38%)

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

His primary areas of study are Stalagmite, Physical geography, Holocene, Speleothem and Monsoon. The study incorporates disciplines such as East Asian Monsoon, Precipitation, Glacial period and δ18O in addition to Stalagmite. His East Asian Monsoon study combines topics in areas such as Ice core and Isotopes of oxygen.

His Physical geography research includes themes of Radiocarbon dating, Before Present, Extinction, Deglaciation and Stadial. His work deals with themes such as Climate change and Paleoclimatology, which intersect with Holocene. Monsoon is a subfield of Climatology that R. Lawrence Edwards studies.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • THE INTCAL20 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE RADIOCARBON AGE CALIBRATION CURVE (0–55 CAL kBP) (332 citations)
  • THE INTCAL20 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE RADIOCARBON AGE CALIBRATION CURVE (0–55 CAL kBP) (332 citations)
  • Coupling of Indo-Pacific climate variability over the last millennium (32 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Oceanography

His scientific interests lie mostly in Holocene, Speleothem, Climatology, Stalagmite and Monsoon. His Holocene research incorporates themes from Climate change, Paleoclimatology and δ18O. His Speleothem research incorporates elements of Glacial period, East Asian Monsoon, Precipitation and Physical geography.

His research on Stalagmite often connects related topics like Intertropical Convergence Zone. In his work, Younger Dryas and Southern Hemisphere is strongly intertwined with Interglacial, which is a subfield of Monsoon. His Northern Hemisphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmosphere, Radiocarbon dating, Extinction, Ocean circulation model and Calibration curve.
