Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Biodiversity

Archaeology, Holocene, Ecology, Channel and Historical ecology are his primary areas of study. His Archaeology study combines topics in areas such as Marine conservation and Oceanography. He has researched Holocene in several fields, including Fish hook, Anthropocene, Artifact, Land degradation and Midden.

His Fishing and Island ecology study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Urocyon. His Channel study incorporates themes from Resource, Marine habitats, Habitat, Mainland and Fauna. His work carried out in the field of Historical ecology brings together such families of science as Chesapeake bay, Paleoecology and Predation.

His most cited work include:

  • Paleoindian seafaring, maritime technologies, and coastal foraging on california’s channel islands (208 citations)
  • Integrating paleobiology, archeology, and history to inform biological conservation. (153 citations)
  • From Pleistocene Mariners to Complex Hunter-Gatherers: The Archaeology of the California Channel Islands (139 citations)

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

Torben C. Rick focuses on Archaeology, Ecology, Holocene, Historical ecology and Radiocarbon dating. His Archaeology research incorporates elements of Channel and Oceanography. His Ecology study deals with Fishery intersecting with Kelp forest.

He combines subjects such as Ethnohistory, Mainland, Assemblage, Intertidal zone and Midden with his study of Holocene. His work deals with themes such as Anthropocene, Paleoecology, Zooarchaeology and Biogeography, which intersect with Historical ecology. Torben C. Rick has included themes like Period and Human settlement in his Radiocarbon dating study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (54.08%)
  • Ecology (29.08%)
  • Holocene (27.55%)

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

  • Archaeology (54.08%)
  • Ecology (29.08%)
  • Historical ecology (16.84%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Archaeology, Ecology, Historical ecology, Holocene and Fishery. His Archaeology research includes elements of Indigenous and Anthropocene. As part of his studies on Ecology, Torben C. Rick frequently links adjacent subjects like Ancient DNA.

His research integrates issues of Historical archaeology and Zooarchaeology in his study of Historical ecology. Torben C. Rick interconnects Estuary, Kelp forest, Environmental change and Midden in the investigation of issues within Holocene. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Fishing and Oyster reef restoration.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Archaeological assessment reveals Earth’s early transformation through land use (116 citations)
  • Social science perspectives on drivers of and responses to global climate change. (39 citations)
  • Fladmark + 40: What Have We Learned about a Potential Pacific Coast Peopling of the Americas? (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Biodiversity

Torben C. Rick mainly focuses on Archaeology, Climate change, Radiocarbon dating, Historical ecology and Range. His Archaeology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental change and Anthropocene. His Radiocarbon dating research integrates issues from Archaeological research, Mainland and Oceanography, Archipelago.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Isotope analysis, Foraging and Short-tailed albatross in addition to Historical ecology. His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Midden and Zooarchaeology. Torben C. Rick performs integrative study on Chemistry and Ecology.
