Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

Benjamin Sultan focuses on Monsoon, Climatology, Agriculture, Precipitation and Intertropical Convergence Zone. Benjamin Sultan conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Monsoon and West africa. His work on Atmospheric circulation as part of general Climatology research is often related to Event based, thus linking different fields of science.

Benjamin Sultan interconnects Natural resource economics, Climate change and Crop yield in the investigation of issues within Agriculture. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry and Crop. His study in the field of Monsoon precipitation is also linked to topics like Isotopic composition.

His most cited work include:

  • The West African Monsoon Dynamics. Part II: The “Preonset” and “Onset” of the Summer Monsoon (387 citations)
  • The impact of future climate change on West African crop yields: What does the recent literature say? (283 citations)
  • Abrupt shift of the ITCZ over West Africa and intra‐seasonal variability (232 citations)

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

Benjamin Sultan mainly focuses on Climate change, Climatology, Agriculture, Crop yield and Monsoon. Benjamin Sultan has included themes like Agroforestry, Food security and Environmental resource management in his Climate change study. His study in the field of Atmospheric circulation also crosses realms of West africa.

His studies deal with areas such as Sorghum, Agricultural economics and Wet season as well as Agriculture. His Crop yield research includes elements of Rainfed agriculture, Crop and Yield. His Monsoon study incorporates themes from Moisture advection, Orography, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Water resources.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (39.53%)
  • Climatology (38.37%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Climate change (39.53%)
  • Climatology (38.37%)
  • Agriculture (25.00%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Climatology, Agriculture, Precipitation and Crop yield. The various areas that Benjamin Sultan examines in his Climate change study include Agroforestry, Agronomy, Yield and Food security. Benjamin Sultan does research in Climatology, focusing on Tropical cyclone specifically.

His Agriculture research includes themes of Sustainability and Environmental resource management. The Precipitation study which covers Forcing that intersects with Extreme events and Crop productivity. He combines subjects such as Soil type, Fertilizer, Organic fertilizer and Climate sensitivity with his study of Crop yield.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessing climate adaptation options and uncertainties for cereal systems in West Africa (40 citations)
  • Evidence of crop production losses in West Africa due to historical global warming in two crop models. (36 citations)
  • A bias-corrected CMIP5 dataset for Africa using the CDF-t method – a contribution to agricultural impact studies (33 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Climatology, Food security, Agriculture and Precipitation. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Agroforestry and Hydrology. His Climatology research integrates issues from Wind speed and Downwelling.

His research integrates issues of Crop yield and Yield in his study of Food security. He interconnects Humidex, Apparent temperature and Atmospheric sciences in the investigation of issues within Precipitation. His Climate model study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate state and Wet season.
