Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

William P. Patterson focuses on Oceanography, Climate change, Isotopes of carbon, Isotopes of oxygen and Diagenesis. His Oceanography research integrates issues from Paleontology and δ13C. He has included themes like Speleothem, Climatology, Thermohaline circulation, δ18O and Seasonality in his Climate change study.

His Isotopes of carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dissolved organic carbon and Carbon cycle. His research in Isotopes of oxygen intersects with topics in Drainage basin and Meteoric water. His work carried out in the field of Diagenesis brings together such families of science as Aragonite, Carbonate minerals, Environmental chemistry, Anoxic waters and Recrystallization.

His most cited work include:

  • Depletion of 13C in seawater ΣC02 on modern carbonate platforms: Significance for the carbon isotopic record of carbonates (247 citations)
  • Cooler winters as a possible cause of mass extinctions at the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. (213 citations)
  • Continental Paleothermometry and Seasonality Using the Isotopic Composition of Aragonitic Otoliths of Freshwater Fishes (201 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Holocene, Isotopes of oxygen, δ18O and Ecology. His Oceanography research includes elements of Quaternary and Seasonality. His research integrates issues of Glacial period, Climatology and Storm in his study of Holocene.

His Isotopes of oxygen study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleontology, Sediment, Atmospheric sciences and Meteoric water. His δ18O research includes themes of δ13C and Physical geography. His Ecology research focuses on subjects like Otolith, which are linked to Growing season, Dissolved organic carbon, Life history, Oncorhynchus and Fish migration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (43.24%)
  • Holocene (28.83%)
  • Isotopes of oxygen (16.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Oceanography (43.24%)
  • Holocene (28.83%)
  • Isotope analysis (10.81%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Holocene, Isotope analysis, Pygoscelis and δ18O. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cape, Salmo and Otolith. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sediment, Extratropical cyclone, Flood myth and Benthic zone in addition to Holocene.

His study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climate change, Global change, Surface runoff, Arid and Isotopes of oxygen. Within one scientific family, William P. Patterson focuses on topics pertaining to Krill under Pygoscelis, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Trophic level, Pygoscelis papua and Foraging. His work in δ18O covers topics such as Physical geography which are related to areas like Seawater, Zooid and Forcing.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Contrasting specialist and generalist patterns facilitate foraging niche partitioning in sympatric populations of Pygoscelis penguins (40 citations)
  • Chronic mercury exposure in Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic populations in Portugal from the cultural use of cinnabar (31 citations)
  • Pacific Southwest United States Holocene Droughts and Pluvials Inferred From Sediment δ18O(calcite) and Grain Size Data (Lake Elsinore, California) (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

William P. Patterson mostly deals with Ecology, δ18O, Oceanography, Holocene and Isoscapes. His biological study deals with issues like Physical geography, which deal with fields such as Arctic and Orographic lift. His work on Dissolved organic carbon as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Spatial variability, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He combines subjects such as Climate change, Sediment, Forcing, Surface runoff and Arid with his study of Holocene. His studies deal with areas such as Permafrost, Ice wedge, Climatology and Paleoclimatology as well as Isoscapes. He has included themes like Trophic level, Isotope analysis, Pelagic zone and Niche differentiation in his Krill study.
