PDF files for download are indicated by the   OR icons. Additional copies (as PDFs) of older papers etc. are being progressively added (latest addition & broken link repairs on February 16th, 2011).  Many of these PDFs have searchable text. Links to online conference abstracts and other documents, where available, are provided.

Please contact me for copies of other publications, or check back again.

Numbers in [plain, italics] are the citations for the listed article, where available from respectively Google Scholar (March 27, 2012) and the Web of Science (April 6, 2012; see Researcher ID badge above; click to view current citation stats). NB: h-index = 16 (Web of Science, April 27th, 2012), or h-index = 16 (Scopus, Dec. 20, 2011); h-index = 22 (Google Scholar, March 27, 2012). 

NB:  Google Scholar captures some publications (e.g., book chapters) not tracked by the Web of Science or Scopus, which is why my h-index is higher for Google Scholar vs. the other citation databases.

      Contreras, L., Pross, J., Bijl, P., Greenwood, D.R., et al. (re-submission in prep., March 2 6th, 2012). Persistent near-tropical warmth on the Antarctic continent during the early Eocene epoch.

      Scarr, M.J., Greenwood, D.R., and Scarpaci, C. ('resubmit'; rewrite in prep. post review, Feb 2nd, 2012) Application of novel statistical analyses to herbarium specimens of three Australian evergreen broadleaf trees revealed a 'stepped' decrease in stomatal frequency in response to increasing pCO2. Is there a critical CO2 threshold?
