Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Cretaceous

Her main research concerns Paleontology, Palynology, Extinction event, Cretaceous and Paleogene. Her study on Gondwana and Orbital forcing is often connected to Eccentricity, Precession and Latitude as part of broader study in Paleontology. Her Palynology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biostratigraphy, Ecological succession and Fern.

She combines subjects such as Structural basin, Permian and Phanerozoic with her study of Extinction event. Vivi Vajda interconnects Flood basalt, Mesozoic, Deccan Traps and Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in the investigation of issues within Phanerozoic. Her Cretaceous research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nouvelle zelande and Ecology.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Chicxulub Asteroid Impact and Mass Extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary (792 citations)
  • Indication of global deforestation at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary by New Zealand fern spike. (172 citations)
  • Fungal proliferation at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. (94 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Palynology, Cretaceous, Extinction event and Ecology. Paleontology is closely attributed to Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in her work. Her Palynology study incorporates themes from Ecological succession and Vegetation.

Her Paleogene and Cenomanian study in the realm of Cretaceous connects with subjects such as Asteroid. Vivi Vajda works mostly in the field of Paleogene, limiting it down to topics relating to Cenozoic and, in certain cases, Aridification, as a part of the same area of interest. Her study on Extinction event also encompasses disciplines like

  • Phanerozoic, which have a strong connection to Mesozoic,
  • Southern Hemisphere and related Northern Hemisphere.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (77.71%)
  • Palynology (39.49%)
  • Cretaceous (33.76%)

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

  • Paleontology (77.71%)
  • Palynology (39.49%)
  • Extinction event (26.11%)

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

Vivi Vajda spends much of her time researching Paleontology, Palynology, Extinction event, Permian and Permian–Triassic extinction event. Her Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climate change, Pollen and Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. Her study in Palynology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Flora and Paleogene, Cretaceous.

Her Extinction event research incorporates elements of Sedimentary rock, Ecosystem, Carbon cycle and Algae. Her research integrates issues of Floristics, Timeline and Gondwana in her study of Permian. As a member of one scientific family, Vivi Vajda mostly works in the field of Permian–Triassic extinction event, focusing on Glossopteris and, on occasion, Phanerozoic, Siberian Traps, Coal measures, Trace fossil and Siltstone.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Age and pattern of the southern high-latitude continental end-Permian extinction constrained by multiproxy analysis (68 citations)
  • Substantial vegetation response to Early Jurassic global warming with impacts on oceanic anoxia (33 citations)
  • End-Permian (252 Mya) deforestation, wildfires and flooding—An ancient biotic crisis with lessons for the present (32 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

Vivi Vajda mainly investigates Paleontology, Geochemistry, Terrestrial ecosystem, Permian and Extinction event. Her Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Permian–Triassic extinction event, Aridification and Scientific drilling. The concepts of her Permian–Triassic extinction event study are interwoven with issues in Glossopteris and Phanerozoic.

Her Terrestrial ecosystem research includes elements of Marine ecosystem, Floristics and Timeline. Her studies deal with areas such as Biodiversity, Carbon cycle, Vegetation and Acritarch as well as Permian. She does research in Extinction event, focusing on Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary specifically.
