Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Thermodynamics

His primary scientific interests are in Aerosol, Environmental chemistry, Atmospheric chemistry, Iodine oxide and Meteorology. The concepts of his Aerosol study are interwoven with issues in Total organic carbon, Atmospheric sciences, Chemical composition, Ultrafine particle and Relative humidity. Gordon McFiggans has included themes like Biomass burning, General Circulation Model, Smoke and Radiative forcing in his Atmospheric sciences study.

Gordon McFiggans has researched Environmental chemistry in several fields, including Aerosol mass spectrometry and Iodine. His Iodine oxide research includes themes of Differential optical absorption spectroscopy, Cloud condensation nuclei, Halogen, Oceanography and Ozone. As a part of the same scientific study, Gordon McFiggans usually deals with the Ozone, concentrating on Planetary boundary layer and frequently concerns with Troposphere and Mineralogy.

His most cited work include:

  • The formation, properties and impact of secondary organic aerosol: current and emerging issues (2343 citations)
  • Atmospheric composition change – global and regional air quality (538 citations)
  • The effect of physical and chemical aerosol properties on warm cloud droplet activation (494 citations)

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

Gordon McFiggans mostly deals with Aerosol, Atmospheric sciences, Environmental chemistry, Meteorology and Cloud condensation nuclei. His Aerosol study also includes fields such as

  • Thermodynamics and related Activity coefficient,
  • Relative humidity which connect with Analyser. As a part of the same scientific family, Gordon McFiggans mostly works in the field of Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Planetary boundary layer and, on occasion, Mineralogy.

Gordon McFiggans works mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, limiting it down to concerns involving Ozone and, occasionally, Iodine oxide. His research in Meteorology is mostly concerned with Air quality index. His studies in Cloud condensation nuclei integrate themes in fields like Condensation, Supersaturation, Particle number and Nucleation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aerosol (64.83%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (32.07%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.10%)

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

  • Aerosol (64.83%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (32.07%)
  • Particulates (8.97%)

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

Gordon McFiggans mainly focuses on Aerosol, Atmospheric sciences, Particulates, Air quality index and Environmental chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soot, Microphysics, Analytical chemistry, Planetary boundary layer and Haze. In the subject of general Atmospheric sciences, his work in Trace gas is often linked to Scale, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Particulates research incorporates themes from Chemical physics, Composition, Stove, NOx and Nitrate. His work deals with themes such as Air pollution, Climatology, Pollutant and Environmental resource management, which intersect with Air quality index. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Secondary organic aerosols and Relative humidity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Secondary organic aerosol reduced by mixture of atmospheric vapours (69 citations)
  • Introduction to the special issue "in-depth study of air pollution sources and processes within Beijing and its surrounding region (APHH-Beijing)" (56 citations)
  • Mitigation of PM 2.5 and ozone pollution in Delhi: a sensitivity study during the pre-monsoon period (18 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Thermodynamics

Gordon McFiggans focuses on Particulates, NOx, Aerosol, Atmospheric sciences and Environmental chemistry. His Particulates research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stove, Volume and Chemical composition. His research integrates issues of Benzene, Autoxidation, Photochemistry, Toluene and Phenol in his study of NOx.

In Aerosol, Gordon McFiggans works on issues like Ozone, which are connected to Atmosphere, Troposphere, Ammonia and Monoterpene. When carried out as part of a general Atmospheric sciences research project, his work on Trace gas and Weather Research and Forecasting Model is frequently linked to work in Poor correlation, Gas phase and Scale, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Environmental chemistry study often links to related topics such as Relative humidity.
