Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Electron
  • Neutron
  • Nuclear physics

His main research concerns Oceanography, Quaternary, Radiocarbon dating, Glacial period and Paleoclimatology. His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as Holocene, North Atlantic Deep Water and Ice sheet, overlaps with other areas such as Scavenging. The Ice sheet study combines topics in areas such as Younger Dryas and Deglaciation.

His work on Absolute dating as part of general Quaternary research is frequently linked to myr, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Radiocarbon dating research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Foraminifera and Glacier. His research integrates issues of Granulometry, Physical geography, Loess, Geomorphology and Arid in his study of Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Routing of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the Younger Dryas cold episode (481 citations)
  • A salt oscillator in the glacial Atlantic? 1. The concept (439 citations)
  • The chronology of the last deglaciation: implications to the cause of the Younger Dryas event (345 citations)

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

Willy Wolfli spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Atomic physics, Accelerator mass spectrometry, Radiocarbon dating and Analytical chemistry. His Oceanography study which covers Quaternary that intersects with Paleoclimatology and Geomorphology. Willy Wolfli has included themes like Ionization, Electron shell, Nuclear physics and Anisotropy in his Atomic physics study.

His Accelerator mass spectrometry study combines topics in areas such as Radiochemistry, Isotope and Nuclide. His work deals with themes such as Foraminifera, Glacial period and Chronology, which intersect with Radiocarbon dating. His Analytical chemistry research incorporates themes from Ion source and Beam.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (18.32%)
  • Atomic physics (17.56%)
  • Accelerator mass spectrometry (17.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2013)?

  • Oceanography (18.32%)
  • Accelerator mass spectrometry (17.56%)
  • Radiocarbon dating (16.79%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Accelerator mass spectrometry, Radiocarbon dating, Nuclide and Atomic physics. His work on Holocene and Pelagic zone as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Scavenging, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies in Holocene integrate themes in fields like Glacial period, Bioturbation and Geochemistry.

His Accelerator mass spectrometry research integrates issues from Ion source and Proton. His study of Absolute dating is a part of Radiocarbon dating. While the research belongs to areas of Atomic physics, Willy Wolfli spends his time largely on the problem of Mass spectrometry, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Caesium.

Between 1990 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Particulate fluxes of 230Th, 231Pa, and 10Be in the northeastern Pacific Ocean (86 citations)
  • 10Be in Chinese loess (80 citations)
  • 10Be in Chinese loess (80 citations)

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

  • Electron
  • Neutron
  • Nuclear physics

Nuclide, Quaternary, Physical geography, Scavenging and Oceanography are his primary areas of study. The Nuclide study combines topics in areas such as Isotope, Meteoroid and Meteorite. His studies deal with areas such as Sedimentary rock, Geomorphology, Paleosol, Loess and Granulometry as well as Quaternary.

His Physical geography research includes elements of Deep sea, Paleoclimatology, Clastic rock, Bioturbation and Arid. His Nuclear physics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Accelerator mass spectrometry and Chondrite. His Holocene research includes themes of Geochemistry, Glacial period, Sediment and Radiocarbon dating.
