Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Paleontology

Thomas Litt mostly deals with Paleontology, Genetic diversity, Ecology, Younger Dryas and Varve. His Genetic diversity research includes themes of Range and Glacial period. His work is dedicated to discovering how Glacial period, Biogeography are connected with Vegetation, Macrofossil and Holocene and other disciplines.

His Younger Dryas research integrates issues from Maar and Ice core. The Ice core study combines topics in areas such as Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point, Stratotype and Stadial. His Genetic structure study which covers Ice age that intersects with Mediterranean climate.

His most cited work include:

  • A new scenario for the Quaternary history of European beech populations: palaeobotanical evidence and genetic consequences (693 citations)
  • Formal definition and dating of the GSSP (Global Stratotype Section and Point) for the base of the Holocene using the Greenland NGRIP ice core, and selected auxiliary records (428 citations)
  • Correlation and synchronisation of Lateglacial continental sequences in northern central Europe based on annually laminated lacustrine sediments (264 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Physical geography, Glacial period, Pollen, Paleontology and Holocene. He interconnects Palynology, Climate change, Vegetation and Southern Levant in the investigation of issues within Physical geography. His Palynology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mediterranean climate and Period.

His biological study deals with issues like Climatology, which deal with fields such as Climate model. His Pollen study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Archaeology and Sediment core. Thomas Litt is studying Stadial, which is a component of Holocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical geography (24.81%)
  • Glacial period (23.31%)
  • Pollen (22.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Pollen (22.56%)
  • Physical geography (24.81%)
  • Vegetation (12.78%)

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

His primary areas of study are Pollen, Physical geography, Vegetation, Geochemistry and Sediment core. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climatology, Mineralogy and Bayesian probability. He has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Holocene, Period and Southern Levant.

He combines subjects such as Woodland and Paleoclimatology with his study of Vegetation. His Paleoclimatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Sediment and Total organic carbon. Thomas Litt studies Glacial period, focusing on Interglacial in particular.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The origin and spread of olive cultivation in the Mediterranean Basin: The fossil pollen evidence: (21 citations)
  • Holocene landscape dynamics and long-term population trends in the Levant: (17 citations)
  • Holocene vegetation history of the southern Levant based on a pollen record from Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), Israel (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Physical geography, Vegetation, Palynology, Southern Levant and Pollen. The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Woodland and Holocene. His study connects Mediterranean climate and Palynology.

His Mediterranean climate research incorporates elements of Structural basin, Period and Sea level. His Southern Levant research includes themes of Glacial period, Steppe and Paleoclimatology. His Pollen study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Ecology.
