Francis E. Grousset

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Oceanography
• Paleontology
• Sedimentary rock

Francis E. Grousset mainly focuses on Glacial period, Ice core, Oceanography, Paleontology and Last Glacial Maximum. His research combines Ice sheet and Glacial period. He focuses mostly in the field of Ice core, narrowing it down to topics relating to Paleoclimatology and, in certain cases, Volcanic ash, Tephra, Glacier and Marine isotope stage.

His research links Aeolian processes with Oceanography. In his study, Westerlies and Mineral dust is inextricably linked to Water column, which falls within the broad field of Aeolian processes. His Provenance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Atmospheric circulation and Satellite imagery.

His most cited work include:

• Asian provenance of glacial dust (stage 2) in the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 Ice Core, Summit, Greenland (473 citations)
• Patterns of Ice-Rafted Detritus in the Glacial North Atlantic (40–55°N) (383 citations)
• Patagonian origin of glacial dust deposited in East Antarctica (Vostok and Dome C) during glacial stages 2, 4 and 6 (307 citations)

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

Francis E. Grousset focuses on Oceanography, Glacial period, Holocene, Environmental science and Geochemistry. The Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Aeolian processes, Provenance, Quaternary, Terrigenous sediment and Mediterranean sea. His work carried out in the field of Provenance brings together such families of science as Atmosphere and Atmospheric circulation.

His Glacial period study incorporates themes from Ice core and Ice sheet. Francis E. Grousset has included themes like Ice age, Tephra, Volcanic ash and Paleoclimatology in his Ice core study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Groenlandia, Atmospheric sciences, Plume, Physical geography and Loess in addition to Mineral dust.

He most often published in these fields:

• Oceanography (61.76%)
• Glacial period (40.20%)
• Holocene (17.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2015)?

• Oceanography (61.76%)
• Glacial period (40.20%)
• Period (4.90%)

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

Oceanography, Glacial period, Period, Terrigenous sediment and Monsoon are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Deposition, Quaternary and Climatology, which intersect with Oceanography. He is interested in Interglacial, which is a field of Glacial period.

His work in Terrigenous sediment tackles topics such as Deglaciation which are related to areas like Earth science and Mineral dust. He has researched Monsoon in several fields, including Aeolian processes, Aridification, Holocene and Mediterranean climate, Mediterranean sea. His studies in Sediment integrate themes in fields like Geochemistry and Provenance.

Between 2007 and 2015, his most popular works were:

• 100,000 Years of African monsoon variability recorded in sediments of the Nile margin (165 citations)
• A new concept for the paleoceanographic evolution of Heinrich event 1 in the North Atlantic (127 citations)
• Contrasting compositions of Saharan dust in the eastern Atlantic Ocean during the last deglaciation and African Humid Period (88 citations)

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

• Oceanography
• Paleontology
• Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Terrigenous sediment, Glacial period, Pluvial and Authigenic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Meltwater and Deposition. His study in Pluvial is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Aeolian processes, Marine isotope stage, Sahara pump theory, Monsoon and Last Glacial Maximum.

His research in Authigenic intersects with topics in Deglaciation and Provenance, Detritus. Deglaciation is frequently linked to Sorting in his study.
