Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Donald A. Walker focuses on Arctic, Vegetation, Tundra, Physical geography and Ecology. Donald A. Walker specializes in Arctic, namely Arctic vegetation. His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biomass, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climatology, Soil water, Soil pH, Snow and Physiographic province. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biocomplexity and Environmental resource management. His research integrates issues of Graminoid, Forb, Biome, Beringia and Last Glacial Maximum in his study of Physical geography.

His most cited work include:

  • Purification and cloning of amyloid precursor protein beta-secretase from human brain. (1529 citations)
  • Evidence and implications of recent climate change in northern Alaska and other arctic regions. (1128 citations)
  • Role of Land-Surface Changes in Arctic Summer Warming (1013 citations)

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

Donald A. Walker mainly focuses on Arctic, Tundra, Physical geography, Vegetation and Ecology. He combines subjects such as Permafrost, Patterned ground and Climatology with his study of Arctic. His Tundra study incorporates themes from Biomass, Cryosphere, Hydrology, Plant community and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.

His Physical geography research incorporates themes from Shrub, Coastal plain, Transect, Biome and Global change. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil water, Climate change, Snow, Geomorphology and Land cover. His studies deal with areas such as Circumpolar star, Arctic ecology and Remote sensing as well as Arctic vegetation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Arctic (51.79%)
  • Tundra (46.07%)
  • Physical geography (41.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Arctic (51.79%)
  • Tundra (46.07%)
  • Physical geography (41.07%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Arctic, Tundra, Physical geography, Permafrost and Vegetation. Donald A. Walker has included themes like Soil carbon, Climatology, Ice wedge, Vegetation classification and Global warming in his Arctic study. Donald A. Walker studies Tundra, namely Arctic vegetation.

His Physical geography research integrates issues from Cryosphere, Arctic ice pack, Transect, Biome and Global change. His Permafrost research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology, Climate change and Snow. His work on Plant community as part of general Vegetation research is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pan-Arctic ice-wedge degradation in warming permafrost and its influence on tundra hydrology (290 citations)
  • Complexity revealed in the greening of the Arctic (89 citations)
  • A comparative framework for broad‐scale plot‐based vegetation classification (79 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Arctic, Vegetation, Tundra, Physical geography and Climate change. His Sea level research extends to the thematically linked field of Arctic. His study deals with a combination of Vegetation and Context.

His Tundra study combines topics in areas such as Snow, Climatology, Remote sensing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His Physical geography research includes elements of Biomass, Plant community, Sea ice and Vegetation classification. Donald A. Walker combines subjects such as Permafrost, Thermokarst and Ecosystem with his study of Climate change.
