Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

Francisco Javier Sierro mostly deals with Oceanography, Mediterranean climate, Glacial period, Paleontology and Mediterranean sea. Francisco Javier Sierro has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Climatology and Interglacial. His Mediterranean climate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climate change and Thermohaline circulation.

His Climate change research incorporates themes from Lead and Mediterranean Basin. Many of his research projects under Paleontology are closely connected to Eltanin impact with Eltanin impact, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work investigates the relationship between Mediterranean sea and topics such as Stadial that intersect with problems in Sea surface temperature, Aridification and North Atlantic oscillation.

His most cited work include:

  • Chronology, causes and progression of the Messinian salinity crisis (1378 citations)
  • Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich event imprints in Alboran Sea paleotemperatures (475 citations)
  • Synchroneity between marine and terrestrial responses to millennial scale climatic variability during the last glacial period in the Mediterranean region (361 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Paleontology, Mediterranean climate, Mediterranean sea and Glacial period. His Oceanography research integrates issues from Coccolithophore and Interglacial. His study in Late Miocene, Biostratigraphy, Sedimentary rock, Evaporite and Pleistocene is done as part of Paleontology.

His studies in Mediterranean climate integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Climatology and Outflow. Mediterranean sea is frequently linked to Stadial in his study. His research integrates issues of Northern Hemisphere, Paleoclimatology and Sea level in his study of Glacial period.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (57.36%)
  • Paleontology (29.84%)
  • Mediterranean climate (22.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Oceanography (57.36%)
  • Paleontology (29.84%)
  • Contourite (3.49%)

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

Francisco Javier Sierro mainly focuses on Oceanography, Paleontology, Contourite, Late Miocene and Mediterranean climate. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glacial period, Coccolithophore, Middle latitudes and Mediterranean sea. His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Pleistocene and Northern Hemisphere.

His Mediterranean sea research includes themes of Westerlies, Stadial, Paleoceanography and Mediterranean Basin. Sedimentary rock, Foreland basin and Biostratigraphy are subfields of Paleontology in which his conducts study. His work focuses on many connections between Mediterranean climate and other disciplines, such as Neogene, that overlap with his field of interest in Ocean current, Facies, Evaporite, Biochronology and Stage.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mediterranean Neogene planktonic foraminifer biozonation and biochronology (22 citations)
  • Coccolithophore biodiversity controls carbonate export in the Southern Ocean (10 citations)
  • Mediterranean Overflow Over the Last 250 kyr: Freshwater Forcing From the Tropics to the Ice Sheets (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock

Francisco Javier Sierro mainly investigates Paleontology, Mediterranean climate, Pleistocene, Late Miocene and Communication channel. His is involved in several facets of Paleontology study, as is seen by his studies on Foreland basin, Structural basin, Siliciclastic, Sedimentary rock and Chronostratigraphy. His Mediterranean climate study improves the overall literature in Archaeology.

His Pleistocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Environmental change, Climate change, Paleoclimatology and Northern Hemisphere. His research combines Contourite and Late Miocene.
