Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Glacier

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Ice core, Abrupt climate change, Paleoclimatology and Glacial period. Ice sheet, Ice-sheet model and Climate change are the core of his Oceanography study. Edward J. Brook has researched Climate change in several fields, including Deglaciation and Atmospheric sciences.

His Ice core research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ice age, Chronology and Greenland ice sheet. His Abrupt climate change research includes themes of Climatology, North Atlantic Deep Water and Climate oscillation. His work deals with themes such as Younger Dryas and Atmospheric methane, which intersect with Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Timing of millennial-scale climate change in Antarctica and Greenland during the last glacial period. (945 citations)
  • Transient simulation of last deglaciation with a new mechanism for Bolling-Allerod warming. (586 citations)
  • Timing of abrupt climate change at the end of the Younger Dryas interval from thermally fractionated gases in polar ice (561 citations)

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

Edward J. Brook mainly focuses on Ice core, Climatology, Oceanography, Ice sheet and Glacial period. His Ice core research incorporates themes from Atmospheric sciences, Deglaciation, Holocene, Methane and Ice-sheet model. The various areas that Edward J. Brook examines in his Climatology study include Ice age, Abrupt climate change and Radiative forcing.

His study in Paleoclimatology, European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica and Ice cap climate is done as part of Oceanography. His work is dedicated to discovering how Ice sheet, Ice stream are connected with Ice shelf and other disciplines. His studies in Glacial period integrate themes in fields like Pleistocene, Bedrock, Chronology and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (58.54%)
  • Climatology (27.32%)
  • Oceanography (24.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ice core (58.54%)
  • Deglaciation (22.44%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (18.05%)

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

Edward J. Brook mostly deals with Ice core, Deglaciation, Atmospheric sciences, Glacial period and Holocene. Edward J. Brook interconnects Atmosphere, Paleoclimatology, Methane, Blue ice and Paleoceanography in the investigation of issues within Ice core. His Deglaciation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Younger Dryas, Sea surface temperature, Glacier, Physical geography and Last Glacial Maximum.

His study on Northern Hemisphere is often connected to Nitrogen cycle as part of broader study in Atmospheric sciences. His research investigates the connection with Glacial period and areas like Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere which intersect with concerns in Atmosphere of Earth. While the research belongs to areas of Holocene, Edward J. Brook spends his time largely on the problem of Antarctic ice sheet, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Ice age, Chronology, Firn and Pleistocene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antarctic and global climate history viewed from ice cores (30 citations)
  • Old carbon reservoirs were not important in the deglacial methane budget (19 citations)
  • Controls on Millennial‐Scale Atmospheric CO2 Variability During the Last Glacial Period (14 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Glacier

Edward J. Brook spends much of his time researching Ice core, Deglaciation, Glacial period, Holocene and Physical geography. The concepts of his Ice core study are interwoven with issues in Atmospheric circulation, Sea level and Greenhouse gas. His research in Deglaciation intersects with topics in Climatology, Ocean heat content, Sea surface temperature, Interglacial and Mean radiant temperature.

He has included themes like Atmosphere and Natural range in his Glacial period study. His work in Holocene addresses issues such as Glacier, which are connected to fields such as Younger Dryas and Cirque glacier. In his research on the topic of Physical geography, Antarctic ice sheet, Ice stream and Volcano is strongly related with Paleoclimatology.
