Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Diatom, Paleoclimatology, Holocene, Oceanography and Salinity. Her Diatom research includes themes of Climate change, Sediment and Period. Her study in Paleoclimatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmospheric circulation, Quaternary and Physical geography.

Holocene is often connected to Ecosystem in her work. Her study looks at the relationship between Oceanography and topics such as Water level, which overlap with Test, Benthic zone and Pelagic zone. Her Salinity research incorporates themes from Arid and Taphonomy.

Her most cited work include:

  • The History of South American Tropical Precipitation for the Past 25,000 Years (594 citations)
  • Tropical climate changes at millennial and orbital timescales on the Bolivian Altiplano (381 citations)
  • Reconstruction of past changes in salinity and climate using a diatom-based transfer function (314 citations)

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

Sherilyn C. Fritz focuses on Holocene, Diatom, Oceanography, Ecology and Physical geography. Her work carried out in the field of Holocene brings together such families of science as Structural basin, Climatology, Paleoclimatology and Arctic. Sherilyn C. Fritz works mostly in the field of Paleoclimatology, limiting it down to concerns involving Pleistocene and, occasionally, Last Glacial Maximum.

The Diatom study combines topics in areas such as Sediment, Climate change, Salinity and Hydrology. Her Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arid, Glacial period, Quaternary and Vegetation. In her study, Ecological succession is strongly linked to Glacier, which falls under the umbrella field of Ecology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Holocene (32.88%)
  • Diatom (32.88%)
  • Oceanography (31.51%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Diatom (32.88%)
  • Ecology (24.66%)
  • Holocene (32.88%)

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

Sherilyn C. Fritz mainly focuses on Diatom, Ecology, Holocene, Physical geography and Oceanography. Her studies deal with areas such as Taxon, Abundance, Sediment and Aquatic ecosystem as well as Diatom. Her Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Drainage basin, Arctic, Glacier, Dominance and Wetland.

Her Physical geography research incorporates elements of Ecosystem and Chronology. Sherilyn C. Fritz mostly deals with Paleoclimatology in her studies of Oceanography. Her Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period, Pleistocene, Stadial and Biome.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Palaeoclimate constraints on the impact of 2 °C anthropogenic warming and beyond (75 citations)
  • The Arctic in the twenty-first century: changing biogeochemical linkages across a paraglacial landscape of Greenland (42 citations)
  • IntCal, SHCal, or a Mixed Curve? Choosing a 14C Calibration Curve for Archaeological and Paleoenvironmental Records from Tropical South America (37 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Sherilyn C. Fritz mostly deals with Ecology, Diatom, Physical geography, Climate change and Holocene. Diatom is a subfield of Oceanography that Sherilyn C. Fritz studies. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Quaternary under Oceanography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Paleoclimatology.

Her research integrates issues of Sediment, Ecosystem and Arctic in her study of Physical geography. The concepts of her Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Hydrology and Clastic rock. As a part of the same scientific study, Sherilyn C. Fritz usually deals with the Holocene, concentrating on Drainage basin and frequently concerns with Erosion, Deglaciation, Watershed and Glacial period.
