Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Stalagmite, Speleothem, Paleontology and Cave. His work carried out in the field of Oceanography brings together such families of science as Glacial period and Sapropel. Russell N. Drysdale combines subjects such as Carbonate minerals and Sea level with his study of Stalagmite.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Speleothem, Mineralogy is strongly linked to Geochemistry. Series, Neogene, Biome, Southern Hemisphere and Forcing is closely connected to Paleoclimatology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Paleontology. The concepts of his Cave study are interwoven with issues in Climate variation, Permian, Deep time, Karst and Calcite.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing Australian–Indonesian monsoon rainfall linked to early Holocene sea-level rise (234 citations)
  • Late Holocene drought responsible for the collapse of Old World civilizations is recorded in an Italian cave flowstone (223 citations)
  • Enhanced rainfall in the Western Mediterranean during deposition of sapropel S1: stalagmite evidence from Corchia cave (Central Italy) (173 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Speleothem, Cave, Paleontology, Stalagmite and Holocene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glacial period, Interglacial, Climatology, δ18O and Physical geography in addition to Speleothem. His Interglacial research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sea level, Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum and Ice sheet.

His studies deal with areas such as Karst, Geochemistry, Mediterranean climate and Paleoclimatology as well as Cave. His Stalagmite research includes themes of Trace element and Calcite. His Holocene research is within the category of Oceanography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Speleothem (55.47%)
  • Cave (33.94%)
  • Paleontology (29.56%)

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

  • Speleothem (55.47%)
  • Physical geography (24.82%)
  • Glacial period (27.01%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Speleothem, Physical geography, Glacial period, Cave and Interglacial. His study in Speleothem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Paleontology, Radiometric dating, Climate change, Mineralogy and Forcing. His Physical geography study combines topics in areas such as Younger Dryas, Holocene and Quaternary.

His Glacial period research includes elements of Monsoon and Chronology. His Cave research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Karst, Geochemistry, Calcite and Paleoclimatology. He has researched Interglacial in several fields, including Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum and Stadial.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Most Earth-surface calcites precipitate out of isotopic equilibrium (61 citations)
  • Most Earth-surface calcites precipitate out of isotopic equilibrium (61 citations)
  • The 4.2 ka BP Event in the Mediterranean region: an overview (50 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

Russell N. Drysdale focuses on Speleothem, Physical geography, Chronology, Radiometric dating and Glacial period. His Speleothem study is concerned with Cave in general. Particularly relevant to Stalagmite is his body of work in Cave.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Stalagmite, Trace element are connected with Calcite and other disciplines. His Physical geography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deglaciation, Radiative forcing, Global change and Mediterranean sea. His study explores the link between Chronology and topics such as Oceanography that cross with problems in Mediterranean climate.
