Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Agriculture
  • Meteorology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aeolian processes, Storm, Dust storm, Atmospheric sciences and Oceanography. His research in Aeolian processes intersects with topics in Earth science, Sediment, Quaternary, Hydrology and Arid. His Storm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wind speed, Climatology, Haze and Water content.

Grant Harvey McTainsh works mostly in the field of Dust storm, limiting it down to concerns involving Plume and, occasionally, Particle size and Soil water. The study incorporates disciplines such as Particulates, Carbon cycle, Biogeochemical cycle and Aerosol in addition to Atmospheric sciences. His research in Oceanography tackles topics such as Phytoplankton which are related to areas like Plankton and Biogeochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science (485 citations)
  • Characterisation of chemical species in PM2.5 and PM10 aerosols in Brisbane, Australia (202 citations)
  • Australian dust deposits: modern processes and the Quaternary record (181 citations)

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

Grant Harvey McTainsh focuses on Aeolian processes, Dust storm, Hydrology, Storm and Atmospheric sciences. His studies in Aeolian processes integrate themes in fields like Soil water, Sediment, Meteorology, Arid and Erosion. In his study, Sea salt is strongly linked to Particulates, which falls under the umbrella field of Sediment.

The various areas that Grant Harvey McTainsh examines in his Dust storm study include Phytoplankton, Climatology, Structural basin and Physical geography. His study in Storm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Deposition, Northern Hemisphere and Cold front. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Atmosphere, Plume, Carbon accounting and Aerosol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aeolian processes (61.74%)
  • Dust storm (28.19%)
  • Hydrology (26.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2019)?

  • Aeolian processes (61.74%)
  • Dust storm (28.19%)
  • Hydrology (26.17%)

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

His primary areas of study are Aeolian processes, Dust storm, Hydrology, Meteorology and Soil water. Grant Harvey McTainsh combines subjects such as Storm, Earth science and Deposition with his study of Aeolian processes. His work deals with themes such as Phytoplankton, Structural basin and Physical geography, which intersect with Dust storm.

His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil crust and Environmental resource management. In general Meteorology study, his work on Air quality index often relates to the realm of High resolution and Personal injury, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His work in Soil water covers topics such as Carbon dioxide which are related to areas like Carbon cycle, Greenhouse gas, Atmosphere and Carbon accounting.

Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • The Dust Storm Index (DSI): A method for monitoring broadscale wind erosion using meteorological records (56 citations)
  • Soil organic carbon dust emission: an omitted global source of atmospheric CO2. (34 citations)
  • Palaeo-dust records: A window to understanding past environments (30 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Agriculture

His scientific interests lie mostly in Aeolian processes, Meteorology, Mineral dust, Arid and Air quality index. His Aeolian processes research includes themes of Hazard, Soil carbon and Atmosphere. His research on Meteorology focuses in particular on Storm.

His studies deal with areas such as Trace element, Sediment, Particulates and Pollutant as well as Mineral dust. Grant Harvey McTainsh has researched Arid in several fields, including Dust storm, Spatial analysis and Erosion. Grant Harvey McTainsh performs multidisciplinary study in Air quality index and High resolution in his work.
