What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Paleontology
R. Scott Anderson mainly focuses on Holocene, Ecology, Climate change, Vegetation and Physical geography.
His work deals with themes such as Global warming, Glacial period, Climatology and Fire regime, which intersect with Holocene.
His work focuses on many connections between Glacial period and other disciplines, such as Oceanography, that overlap with his field of interest in Quaternary, Wetland and Fire history.
R. Scott Anderson interconnects Biomass, Population data and Forestry in the investigation of issues within Climate change.
His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pollen, Boreal and Picea engelmannii.
In his study, Extinction is inextricably linked to Pleistocene, which falls within the broad field of Physical geography.
His most cited work include:
- Long-term perspective on wildfires in the western USA (278 citations)
- Extended megadroughts in the southwestern United States during Pleistocene interglacials (107 citations)
- Holocene climate changes in eastern Beringia (NW North America) – A systematic review of multi-proxy evidence (85 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Holocene, Physical geography, Ecology, Vegetation and Oceanography are his primary areas of study.
His study focuses on the intersection of Holocene and fields such as Pleistocene with connections in the field of Younger Dryas.
He has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Glacial period, Climate change, Mediterranean climate and Wetland.
Many of his studies on Ecology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Radiocarbon dating.
Within one scientific family, R. Scott Anderson focuses on topics pertaining to Pollen under Vegetation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Forestry.
His work in Oceanography covers topics such as Sediment which are related to areas like National park.
He most often published in these fields:
- Holocene (43.58%)
- Physical geography (34.08%)
- Ecology (24.02%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Physical geography (34.08%)
- Holocene (43.58%)
- Climate change (18.99%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
R. Scott Anderson mostly deals with Physical geography, Holocene, Climate change, Mediterranean climate and Vegetation.
His Physical geography research includes themes of Glacial period, Interglacial, Environmental change, Peninsula and Arid.
His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pleistocene, Peat, Paleoclimatology and Precipitation.
His Climate change research integrates issues from Palynology, Pollen, Local extinction, Ecosystem and Extinction debt.
The various areas that R. Scott Anderson examines in his Mediterranean climate study include North Atlantic oscillation, Aridification and Wetland.
His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Period and Mediterranean Basin.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Vegetation and climate changes during the last two glacial-interglacial cycles in the western Mediterranean: A new long pollen record from Padul (southern Iberian Peninsula) (30 citations)
- Millennial-scale cyclical environment and climate variability during the Holocene in the western Mediterranean region deduced from a new multi-proxy analysis from the Padul record (Sierra Nevada, Spain) (22 citations)
- Holocene climate aridification trend and human impact interrupted by millennial- and centennial-scale climate fluctuations from a new sedimentary record from Padul (Sierra Nevada, southern Iberian Peninsula) (22 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Ecosystem
R. Scott Anderson mainly investigates Physical geography, Holocene, Mediterranean climate, Vegetation and Climate change.
