Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Oceanography

Eric J. Steig mainly investigates Climatology, Oceanography, Ice core, Climate change and Ice sheet. Eric J. Steig works mostly in the field of Climatology, limiting it down to topics relating to Paleoclimatology and, in certain cases, Proxy. His work deals with themes such as Cryosphere, Younger Dryas, Abrupt climate change, Ice-sheet model and Environmental chemistry, which intersect with Ice core.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period, Period and Holocene. His research investigates the link between Holocene and topics such as Physical geography that cross with problems in Polar climate. Eric J. Steig has researched Ice sheet in several fields, including Ice cap climate, Ice stream, European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, Plateau and Dome.

His most cited work include:

  • Holocene climate variability (1703 citations)
  • Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia (709 citations)
  • Holocene thermal maximum in the western Arctic (0-180°W) (671 citations)

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

Ice core, Climatology, Oceanography, Ice sheet and Antarctic ice sheet are his primary areas of study. His Ice core study incorporates themes from Glacial period, Paleoclimatology, Atmospheric sciences, Holocene and Firn. His work in Holocene addresses subjects such as Physical geography, which are connected to disciplines such as Pleistocene.

His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Climate change, Climate model and Abrupt climate change. Particularly relevant to Global warming is his body of work in Climate change. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ice stream, Cryosphere, Sea ice, Ice-sheet model and Antarctic sea ice in addition to Ice sheet.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (40.07%)
  • Climatology (39.72%)
  • Oceanography (29.08%)

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

  • Ice core (40.07%)
  • Climatology (39.72%)
  • Global change (6.74%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ice core, Climatology, Global change, Physical geography and Holocene. His Ice core research includes elements of Paleoclimatology, Paleontology, Atmospheric sciences, Firn and Mineralogy. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ice age, Climate model, Arctic, Climate system and Teleconnection.

As a member of one scientific family, Eric J. Steig mostly works in the field of Teleconnection, focusing on Ocean current and, on occasion, Climate change. His Global change research incorporates themes from Cryosphere, Hydrology and Ice sheet. Antarctic ice sheet is a subfield of Oceanography that Eric J. Steig explores.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fingerprints of internal drivers of Arctic sea ice loss in observations and model simulations (49 citations)
  • West Antarctic ice loss influenced by internal climate variability and anthropogenic forcing (48 citations)
  • Abrupt ice-age shifts in southern westerly winds and Antarctic climate forced from the north (45 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Ecology

Eric J. Steig spends much of his time researching Climatology, Ice core, Paleoclimatology, Climate model and Proxy. Eric J. Steig combines subjects such as Ice age, Continental shelf and Ice sheet with his study of Climatology. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Westerlies under Ice age, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Climate change.

His Ice core research integrates issues from Dome, Deglaciation, Holocene and Physical geography. In his study, Paleontology, Stage and Ice stream is strongly linked to Antarctic ice sheet, which falls under the umbrella field of Paleoclimatology. His Climate model study also includes

  • Interglacial, Before Present, Period and Global warming most often made with reference to Sea ice,
  • Forcing which connect with Bathymetry, Oceanography, Upwelling and Glacier.
