2020 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Aeolian processes, Hydrology, Arid, Soil water and Vegetation. His Aeolian processes research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil science, Desertification, Erosion and Biogeochemistry. His Desertification study combines topics in areas such as Earth science and Environmental resource management.

His study with Arid involves better knowledge in Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endmember, Nutrient, Remote sensing and Vegetation type. He combines subjects such as Tree canopy, Soil texture, Dryland salinity and Water content with his study of Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • Global distribution of atmospheric phosphorus sources, concentrations and deposition rates, and anthropogenic impacts (449 citations)
  • Impact of desert dust on the biogeochemistry of phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems (300 citations)
  • Practical limits on hyperspectral vegetation discrimination in arid and semiarid environments (268 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Vegetation, Aeolian processes, Ecology, Hydrology and Ecosystem. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Land cover, Remote sensing, Precipitation and Spatial ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Soil science, Desertification, Earth science, Sediment and Atmospheric sciences as well as Aeolian processes.

He has included themes like Arid, Soil water, Soil fertility and Spatial distribution in his Hydrology study. His Arid research includes elements of Shrub and Shrubland. His Ecosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass and Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Vegetation (28.42%)
  • Aeolian processes (26.23%)
  • Ecology (24.04%)

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

  • Aeolian processes (26.23%)
  • Remote sensing (14.21%)
  • Vegetation (28.42%)

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

Gregory S. Okin spends much of his time researching Aeolian processes, Remote sensing, Vegetation, Physical geography and Ecology. His Aeolian processes research incorporates themes from Hydrology, Sediment transport, Oceanography and Remote sensing. While the research belongs to areas of Remote sensing, he spends his time largely on the problem of Mineral dust, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Earth system science.

His study looks at the intersection of Vegetation and topics like Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer with Okavango delta, Climatology and Global warming. His work on Ecosystem, Tundra and Estuary as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Urban ecosystem and Term, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Gregory S. Okin works mostly in the field of Ecosystem, limiting it down to topics relating to Soil water and, in certain cases, Ecosystem services, Desertification and Precipitation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Vegetation Responses to 2012-2016 Drought in Northern and Southern California (24 citations)
  • Characterizing the Role of Wind and Dust in Traffic Accidents in California. (11 citations)
  • On the effects of wildfires on precipitation in Southern Africa (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Gregory S. Okin mostly deals with Vegetation, Precipitation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Remote sensing and Climate change. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Vegetation and Imaging spectrometer in his work. Gregory S. Okin combines subjects such as Soil water, Hydrology, Ecosystem, Ecohydrology and Dominance with his study of Precipitation.

His studies in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index integrate themes in fields like Synthetic aperture radar, Backscatter, Biomass and Wetland. As part of his studies on Remote sensing, Gregory S. Okin often connects relevant subjects like Mineral dust. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Chaparral, Coastal sage scrub, Grassland, Physical geography and Mediterranean climate.
