Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Paleontology

His main research concerns Glacial period, Oceanography, Glacier, Physical geography and Climate change. Thomas V. Lowell has researched Glacial period in several fields, including Pleistocene, Paleoclimatology and Holocene. His work on Oceanography deals in particular with Ice sheet and Deglaciation.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Glacier, Thermohaline circulation and Structural basin is strongly linked to Younger Dryas. Thomas V. Lowell studies Moraine, a branch of Physical geography. Thomas V. Lowell interconnects Climatology, Northern Hemisphere and Radiocarbon dating in the investigation of issues within Climate change.

His most cited work include:

  • Interhemispheric Correlation of Late Pleistocene Glacial Events (331 citations)
  • Near-Synchronous Interhemispheric Termination of the Last Glacial Maximum in Mid-Latitudes (225 citations)
  • ABRUPT VEGETATION AND CLIMATE CHANGES DURING THE LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM AND LAST TERMINATION IN THE CHILEAN LAKE DISTRICT: A CASE STUDY FROM CANAL DE LA PUNTILLA (41¡S) (152 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Glacial period, Physical geography, Ice sheet, Oceanography and Glacier. His biological study deals with issues like Holocene, which deal with fields such as Paleoclimatology. His Physical geography research includes elements of Younger Dryas, Climatology, Radiocarbon dating and Quaternary.

The various areas that Thomas V. Lowell examines in his Ice sheet study include Meltwater, Ice core, Chronology and Ice stream. Thomas V. Lowell focuses mostly in the field of Meltwater, narrowing it down to matters related to Glacial lake and, in some cases, Structural basin, Shelf ice and Archaeology. Thomas V. Lowell works mostly in the field of Glacier, limiting it down to concerns involving Climate change and, occasionally, Northern Hemisphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacial period (42.77%)
  • Physical geography (38.55%)
  • Ice sheet (30.12%)

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

  • Glacial period (42.77%)
  • Physical geography (38.55%)
  • Ice sheet (30.12%)

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

Glacial period, Physical geography, Ice sheet, Holocene and Paleontology are his primary areas of study. Thomas V. Lowell combines subjects such as Glacier, Oceanography and Radiocarbon dating with his study of Glacial period. His Glacier research includes themes of Climate change and Tidewater glacier cycle.

His study on Physical geography also encompasses disciplines like

  • Last Glacial Maximum and related Dendrochronology and Quaternary,
  • Cryosphere which is related to area like Sea surface temperature. His Ice sheet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Varve, Geologic record, Sea level and Stadial. His research in Holocene intersects with topics in Varve chronology, Climatology, Sediment and Paleoclimatology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hydrogen isotopes of n -alkanes and n -alkanoic acids as tracers of precipitation in a temperate forest and implications for paleorecords (48 citations)
  • An updated radiocarbon-based ice margin chronology for the last deglaciation of the North American Ice Sheet Complex (35 citations)
  • Trans-pacific glacial response to the Antarctic Cold Reversal in the southern mid-latitudes (20 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Glacial period, Holocene, Physical geography, Vegetation and Ice sheet. Thomas V. Lowell has included themes like Glacier and Climate change in his Glacial period study. His Meltwater study in the realm of Glacier connects with subjects such as Pinnularia.

His work deals with themes such as Diatom, Climatology and Paleoclimatology, which intersect with Holocene. His Physical geography study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Deglaciation. His work carried out in the field of Ice sheet brings together such families of science as Radiocarbon dating and Sea level.
