What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Ecosystem
His scientific interests lie mostly in Deforestation, Amazon rainforest, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.
His work deals with themes such as Peat and Climate change, which intersect with Deforestation.
His Amazon rainforest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture, Forest dieback, Agroforestry and Land use.
His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Boreal, Trace gas, Satellite imagery, Greenhouse gas and Taiga.
The various areas that Douglas C. Morton examines in his Boreal study include Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer and Tropical peat.
In his study, Diurnal cycle, Atmospheric model, Fire ecology and MOPITT is strongly linked to Emission inventory, which falls under the umbrella field of Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.
His most cited work include:
- Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009) (1861 citations)
- CO 2 emissions from forest loss (957 citations)
- Cropland expansion changes deforestation dynamics in the southern Brazilian Amazon (728 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Amazon rainforest, Remote sensing, Deforestation, Lidar and Climatology.
The Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer and Vegetation.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry, Land use, Climate change, Carbon cycle and Greenhouse gas.
His Greenhouse gas study combines topics in areas such as Peat and Tropics.
His research investigates the link between Climatology and topics such as Boreal that cross with problems in Taiga.
His study looks at the intersection of Atmospheric sciences and topics like Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer with Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer.
