Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics

Heike Wex focuses on Aerosol, Nucleation, Ice nucleus, Mineralogy and Cloud condensation nuclei. Her Aerosol study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Analytical chemistry, Water vapor, Particle size, Condensation and Relative humidity. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmosphere, Meteorology, Cosmic ray and Atmospheric sciences.

Her study in Ice nucleus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chemical physics, Macromolecule, Precipitation, Ice crystals and Mineral dust. Her Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Ammonium sulfate and Supersaturation, Thermodynamics. She works mostly in the field of Cloud condensation nuclei, limiting it down to topics relating to Atmospheric chemistry and, in certain cases, Air quality index, Earth observation satellite and Atmospheric composition, as a part of the same area of interest.

Her most cited work include:

  • Role of sulphuric acid, ammonia and galactic cosmic rays in atmospheric aerosol nucleation (742 citations)
  • Molecular understanding of sulphuric acid-amine particle nucleation in the atmosphere (471 citations)
  • Bassoon, a Novel Zinc-finger CAG/Glutamine-repeat Protein Selectively Localized at the Active Zone of Presynaptic Nerve Terminals (375 citations)

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

Heike Wex mainly investigates Aerosol, Atmospheric sciences, Ice nucleus, Cloud condensation nuclei and Mineralogy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Particle size, Particle number and Analytical chemistry in addition to Aerosol. Her Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Precipitation, Atmosphere, Arctic and Radiative transfer.

Her studies deal with areas such as Mineral dust, Chemical physics and Ice crystals as well as Ice nucleus. Her work in Cloud condensation nuclei is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Supersaturation. In general Mineralogy, her work in Kaolinite is often linked to Levoglucosan linking many areas of study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Aerosol (42.47%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (26.88%)
  • Ice nucleus (26.88%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (26.88%)
  • Cape verde (9.14%)
  • Cloud condensation nuclei (18.82%)

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

Heike Wex spends much of her time researching Atmospheric sciences, Cape verde, Cloud condensation nuclei, Aerosol and Oceanography. The concepts of her Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Snow, Air mass, Ice nucleus and Arctic. Heike Wex interconnects Atmosphere, Sea ice and Microcrystalline cellulose in the investigation of issues within Ice nucleus.

The Arctic study combines topics in areas such as Middle latitudes, Nucleation, Physical geography and The arctic. As a part of the same scientific study, Heike Wex usually deals with the Cloud condensation nuclei, concentrating on Particle number and frequently concerns with Particle size. In most of her Aerosol studies, her work intersects topics such as Seawater.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Arctic Cloud Puzzle: Using ACLOUD/PASCAL Multiplatform Observations to Unravel the Role of Clouds and Aerosol Particles in Arctic Amplification (59 citations)
  • Annual variability of ice-nucleating particle concentrations at different Arctic locations (31 citations)
  • A comprehensive characterization of ice nucleation by three different types of cellulose particles immersed in water (18 citations)
