Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Pleistocene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Interglacial, Glacial period, Pleistocene and Quaternary. His Paleontology research focuses on subjects like Tufa, which are linked to Discus rotundatus. The subject of his Interglacial research is within the realm of Archaeology.

Glacial period and Ecology are commonly linked in his work. The Pleistocene study combines topics in areas such as Stage, Cromerian Stage, Sedimentology and Sea level. Richard C. Preece works mostly in the field of Quaternary, limiting it down to topics relating to Radiocarbon dating and, in certain cases, Stadial, Protein degradation, Columella columella, Mesolithic and Chronology.

His most cited work include:

  • Buffered tree population changes in a quaternary refugium: evolutionary implications. (491 citations)
  • The earliest record of human activity in northern Europe (300 citations)
  • Early Pleistocene human occupation at the edge of the boreal zone in northwest Europe (245 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Pleistocene, Archaeology, Interglacial and Holocene. His Paleontology study focuses mostly on Fluvial, Quaternary, Biostratigraphy, Radiocarbon dating and Glacial period. His Pleistocene research integrates issues from Range, Stage and Excavation.

In his study, Ostracod is strongly linked to Sequence, which falls under the umbrella field of Archaeology. His Interglacial research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Clactonian and Oceanography, Sea level. He focuses mostly in the field of Holocene, narrowing it down to matters related to Tufa and, in some cases, Chronology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (46.09%)
  • Pleistocene (38.28%)
  • Archaeology (28.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Pleistocene (38.28%)
  • Paleontology (46.09%)
  • Archaeology (28.12%)

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

Richard C. Preece mainly investigates Pleistocene, Paleontology, Archaeology, Interglacial and Quaternary. His research integrates issues of Glacial period, Cave and Holocene in his study of Pleistocene. His work on Early Pleistocene, Ostracod and Clactonian as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Position, thus linking different fields of science.

Richard C. Preece has researched Archaeology in several fields, including Sequence, Environmental history, Sea level, Ancient history and Biological dispersal. In his research on the topic of Interglacial, Isotopes of oxygen, Calcite, Levallois technique and Geoarchaeology is strongly related with Geochronology. His work in Quaternary tackles topics such as Biostratigraphy which are related to areas like Piacenzian, Protein degradation and Neogene.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • An aminostratigraphy for the British Quaternary based on Bithynia opercula. (61 citations)
  • The Early and early Middle Pleistocene context of human occupation and lowland glaciation in Britain and northern Europe (41 citations)
  • Cueva Antón: A multi-proxy MIS 3 to MIS 5a paleoenvironmental record for SE Iberia (36 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Pleistocene

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Pleistocene, Interglacial, Holocene and Archaeology. His work on Pleistocene is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Glacial period. His study on Interglacial is covered under Quaternary.

His work carried out in the field of Quaternary brings together such families of science as Tufa and Ecology. He focuses mostly in the field of Holocene, narrowing it down to topics relating to Alluvium and, in certain cases, Environmental change, Overbank, Aeolian processes and Floodplain. Richard C. Preece regularly links together related areas like Biological dispersal in his Archaeology studies.
