Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

Simon Brewer focuses on Climatology, Glacial period, Holocene, Climate change and Physical geography. His Climatology research incorporates elements of Deglaciation, Climate model, Last Glacial Maximum and Series. His Glacial period study incorporates themes from Ecology, Biodiversity, Temperate climate and Precipitation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Intraspecific competition, Seed dispersal, Biota and Genetic diversity in addition to Temperate climate. His Holocene study deals with Pollen intersecting with Eemian and Paleontology. The Physical geography study combines topics in areas such as Palynology, Pleistocene and Permafrost carbon cycle.

His most cited work include:

  • Glacial Refugia: Hotspots But Not Melting Pots of Genetic Diversity (1387 citations)
  • The temperature of Europe during the Holocene reconstructed from pollen data (746 citations)
  • Large wildfire trends in the western United States, 1984-2011 (532 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Holocene, Physical geography, Ecology and Pollen. His Climatology research includes elements of Paleoclimatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Deglaciation and Last Glacial Maximum. His Holocene research incorporates themes from Glacial period, Deforestation, Quaternary and Vegetation.

His Glacial period study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodiversity and Pleistocene. Simon Brewer works mostly in the field of Vegetation, limiting it down to topics relating to Mediterranean climate and, in certain cases, Temperate climate. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon, Climate change and Ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (30.38%)
  • Holocene (24.05%)
  • Physical geography (22.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Physical geography (22.78%)
  • Ecology (22.78%)
  • Pollen (21.52%)

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

Simon Brewer mainly investigates Physical geography, Ecology, Pollen, Climate change and Holocene. His work on European Pollen Database as part of general Pollen study is frequently connected to Link, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Water cycle, Quaternary and Biogeography.

He has included themes like Climatology, Forcing, Meltwater, Global temperature and Canyon in his Holocene study. Simon Brewer interconnects Climate model, Community Climate System Model, Precipitation and Ice sheet in the investigation of issues within Climatology. His research in Global warming intersects with topics in Glacial period, Biodiversity, Earth science and Ecosystem services.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reconciling divergent trends and millennial variations in Holocene temperatures (120 citations)
  • Past and future global transformation of terrestrial ecosystems under climate change (116 citations)
  • Reconstructions of biomass burning from sediment-charcoal records to improve data–model comparisons (90 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Holocene, Vegetation, Physical geography and Climatology. The subject of his Climate change research is within the realm of Ecology. The concepts of his Holocene study are interwoven with issues in Pollen, Community Climate System Model and Ice sheet.

His work in the fields of Vegetation, such as Plant community, intersects with other areas such as Novelty. He works mostly in the field of Physical geography, limiting it down to concerns involving Deforestation and, occasionally, Palynology, Younger Dryas, Land cover and Scale. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Sediment, Spatial variability, Spatial ecology and Data model.
