Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Law

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Global warming, Earth system science, Natural resource economics and Climatology. His Climate change research includes elements of Operations research, Greenhouse gas, Politics and Action. His study with Global warming involves better knowledge in Ecology.

In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Radiative forcing is often linked to Fresh water, Space and Resilience, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies deal with areas such as Copernican Revolution, Anthropocene, Sustainability and Environmental resource management as well as Earth system science. His study on Planetary boundaries is often connected to Science, technology, society and environment education as part of broader study in Sustainability.

His most cited work include:

  • A safe operating space for humanity (5983 citations)
  • A safe operating space for humanity (5983 citations)
  • Planetary boundaries: Exploring the safe operating space for humanity (2805 citations)

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

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber mainly investigates Climate change, Global warming, Climatology, Earth system science and Environmental resource management. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Climate change, Climate change mitigation is strongly linked to Natural resource economics. His research links Climate model with Global warming.

His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Meteorology and Extreme weather. His Earth system science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biosphere, Earth science, Statistical physics, Anthropocene and Sustainability. Environmental resource management is frequently linked to Global change in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (35.62%)
  • Global warming (24.69%)
  • Climatology (24.06%)

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

  • Climate change (35.62%)
  • Natural resource economics (15.94%)
  • Climatology (24.06%)

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

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber spends much of his time researching Climate change, Natural resource economics, Climatology, Global warming and Earth system science. His study looks at the intersection of Climate change and topics like Sea level with Holocene and Interglacial. His Natural resource economics study combines topics in areas such as Climate change mitigation, Greenhouse gas, Urbanization, Carbon sink and Food security.

His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dendrochronology, Hurst exponent and Predictability. The various areas that he examines in his Global warming study include Climate model, Scientific progress, Statistical physics, Complex system and Corona. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biosphere, Management science, Astrobiology, Anthropocene and Planetary boundaries in addition to Earth system science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene (764 citations)
  • Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene (764 citations)
  • Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene (764 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Law

His primary areas of study are Natural resource economics, Climate change, Earth system science, Carbon sink and Anthropocene. His Natural resource economics research integrates issues from Technological change, Subsidy, Climate change mitigation, Urbanization and Per capita. His Climate change course of study focuses on Greenhouse gas and Expert elicitation, Global population and Lead.

His study in Earth system science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Planetary boundaries and Biosphere. His Planetary boundaries study combines topics in areas such as Human dynamics, Discipline, Gaia hypothesis and Management science. His research in Carbon sink intersects with topics in Production, Sea level, Holocene and Interglacial.
