Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Statistics
  • Global warming

David A. Stainforth mainly investigates Climate model, Climate change, Greenhouse gas, Meteorology and Global warming. He has researched Climate model in several fields, including Atmospheric sciences and Downscaling. David A. Stainforth has included themes like Range and Transient climate simulation in his Greenhouse gas study.

His Range research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology, Probability density function, Global change and Climate sensitivity. His Meteorology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geodesy, Ocean general circulation model, Free surface and Barotropic fluid. David A. Stainforth works mostly in the field of Global warming, limiting it down to topics relating to Management science and, in certain cases, Decision support system, Probabilistic analysis of algorithms, Relevance and Argument, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantification of modelling uncertainties in a large ensemble of climate change simulations (1301 citations)
  • Uncertainty in predictions of the climate response to rising levels of greenhouse gases. (955 citations)
  • Confidence, uncertainty and decision-support relevance in climate predictions. (323 citations)

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

His main research concerns Climate change, Climate model, Climatology, Meteorology and Environmental resource management. His research integrates issues of Management science, Econometrics and Greenhouse gas in his study of Climate change. David A. Stainforth studied Greenhouse gas and Probability density function that intersect with Global change.

The concepts of his Climate model study are interwoven with issues in Actuarial science, Probabilistic logic, Downscaling, General Circulation Model and Operations research. His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Time series, Mean radiant temperature, Range and Scale. The study incorporates disciplines such as Demand management, Coproduction, Expert elicitation and Water resources in addition to Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (88.70%)
  • Climate model (64.35%)
  • Climatology (39.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Climate change (88.70%)
  • Climatology (39.13%)
  • Time series (9.57%)

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

David A. Stainforth spends much of his time researching Climate change, Climatology, Time series, Langevin dynamics and Environmental planning. David A. Stainforth studies Climate change, namely Climate sensitivity. His work deals with themes such as Global climate, Average return, Range, Global change and Heat wave, which intersect with Climatology.

His Langevin dynamics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Statistical mechanics, Stochastic modelling, Energy balance, Work and Langevin equation. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Climate change mitigation and Environmental planning. His Physical geography research includes elements of Agriculture, Ecosystem, Temperature record, Sustainability and Last Glacial Maximum.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Warming trends in summer heatwaves (12 citations)
  • Warming trends in summer heatwaves (12 citations)
  • Uncertainty in geomorphological responses to climate change (3 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Statistics
  • Global warming

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Climate sensitivity, Model parameters, Economic cost and Econometrics. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Climatology and Last Glacial Maximum. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Time series, Global climate, Average return, Range and Heat wave.

His research in Last Glacial Maximum intersects with topics in Global and Planetary Change, Climate model, Forcing and Physical geography. His work in Climate sensitivity incorporates the disciplines of Small number and Damages.
