Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Pleistocene
  • Paleontology
  • Holocene

William A Watts spends much of his time researching Holocene, Physical geography, Glacial period, Pollen and Vegetation. His research links Steppe with Holocene. His biological study deals with issues like Chronology, which deal with fields such as Palynology and Radiometric dating.

Glacial period is closely attributed to Oceanography in his study. William A Watts undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Pollen and Marsh in his work. His Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Radiocarbon dating, Before Present, Coastal plain and Quaternary, Interglacial.

His most cited work include:

  • Rapid environmental changes in southern Europe during the last glacial period (549 citations)
  • A 50,000-year record of climate oscillations from Florida and its temporal correlation with the heinrich events. (303 citations)
  • Late Quaternary Vegetation of Central Appalachia and the New Jersey Coastal Plain (235 citations)

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

Pollen, Sediment core, Paleontology, Vegetation and Holocene are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Pollen brings together such families of science as Beech, Oceanography, Swamp and Deciduous. He interconnects Coastal plain and Taiga in the investigation of issues within Deciduous.

As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Vegetation, focusing on Younger Dryas and, on occasion, Deglaciation, Last Glacial Maximum and Steppe. His Holocene research includes themes of Juniper, Environmental change, Plateau and Erosion. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glacier, Climate change, Ice core and Chronology in addition to Glacial period.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pollen (58.18%)
  • Sediment core (21.82%)
  • Paleontology (21.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2017)?

  • Oceanography (18.18%)
  • Pollen (58.18%)
  • Sediment core (21.82%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Pollen, Sediment core, Pleistocene and Obituary. His study in Macrofossil, Gulf Stream, Stadial and North Atlantic Deep Water are all subfields of Oceanography. William A Watts combines subjects such as Natural, Thermohaline circulation, Subtropics and Holocene with his study of Pollen.

The various areas that he examines in his Pleistocene study include Plant community, Vegetation and Alnus viridis. William A Watts applies his multidisciplinary studies on Obituary and Art in his research.

Between 2001 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Evidence for warm wet Heinrich events in Florida (142 citations)
  • Holocene environmental variability—the record from Lago Grande di Monticchio, Italy (134 citations)
  • Postglacial vegetation history of Orcas Island, northwestern Washington (3 citations)
