The topics of Climatology, Glacial period, Oceanography, Holocene and Physical geography are the focal point of discussions in Climate of The Past Discussions. The presented research on Climatology deals specifically with Precipitation but it also addresses topics in Atmospheric sciences. It facilitates discussions on Glacial period that incorporate concepts from other fields like Pleistocene and Ice sheet.
The research on Ice sheet tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Cryosphere, Sea ice, Ice stream and Ice-sheet model. Climate of The Past Discussions covers various topics on Oceanography such as Sea surface temperature, Foraminifera, Thermohaline circulation, Benthic zone and Ocean current. The Holocene study featured in Climate of The Past Discussions draws parallels with the field of Monsoon.
Some problems in Physical geography that were presented in Climate of The Past Discussions overlapped with concepts under Period (geology) and Vegetation. Paleoclimatology is a focus of the presented Climate change works and it dives deep in Paleoclimatology. The Ice core study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Volcano.
The most cited publications mainly tackle studies in Climatology, Precipitation, Ice core, Geochemistry and Geomorphology. Range (biology) and Climate sensitivity are some topics wherein Climatology research discussed in the most cited papers has an impact. The published papers focus on Precipitation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as General Circulation Model, Vegetation and Spatial variability.
The journal focuses on Glacial period, Climatology, Physical geography, Oceanography and Ice core. The Glacial period works featured in it incorporate elements from Pleistocene and Ice sheet. Climate of The Past Discussions explores issues in Climatology which can be linked to other research areas like Climate model and Paleoclimatology.
The research on Physical geography featured in it combines topics in other fields like Period (geology), Precipitation, Holocene, Vegetation and Monsoon. It deals with Oceanography in conjunction with δ18O and similar fields in δ13C. Volcano, Atmosphere, Magnitude (mathematics), Atmospheric sciences and Snow are some topics wherein Ice core research discussed in the journal have an impact.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Climate of The Past Discussions (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Climate of The Past Discussions (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.98% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.81% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.87% of all publications and 24.75% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Studying Environmental Sciences in the USA opens doors to various related fields that address pressing ecological and societal challenges. For those interested in applying engineering principles to environmental problems, pursuing an environmental engineering online degree can be a cost-effective way to gain essential skills in sustainable design and pollution control.
Additionally, professionals focused on community health and development may explore online pathways such as accelerated programs in speech pathology. The fast track speech pathology programs provide streamlined routes to certification for those aiming to support individuals with communication disorders.
For those interested in behavioral analysis, especially within environmental or developmental contexts, earning certification through top-tier programs is crucial. The best BCBA programs offer a mix of in-person and online options tailored to meet certification standards and career demands.
Finally, environmental health and safety remain vital areas for protecting communities and workplaces. Degrees focusing on this field, like the online environmental health and safety degree, prepare students to manage risks and comply with regulations in diverse industries.
