Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

James R. Christian mainly investigates Climatology, Oceanography, Biogeochemical cycle, Ocean color and Carbon cycle. His Climatology research includes themes of Atmosphere, Climate change and Coupled model intercomparison project. His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carbon sequestration and Greenhouse gas.

His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phytoplankton and Ocean gyre. James R. Christian focuses mostly in the field of Ocean color, narrowing it down to matters related to SeaWiFS and, in some cases, Ocean general circulation model, Sea surface temperature and Pycnocline. His research in Carbon cycle intersects with topics in Dissolved organic carbon and Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • The role of nitrogen fixation in biogeochemical cycling in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean (729 citations)
  • Carbon emission limits required to satisfy future representative concentration pathways of greenhouse gases (509 citations)
  • Carbon emission limits required to satisfy future representative concentration pathways of greenhouse gases (509 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Climatology, Biogeochemical cycle, Atmospheric sciences and Carbon cycle. The various areas that James R. Christian examines in his Oceanography study include Phytoplankton and Ecosystem. James R. Christian has included themes like SeaWiFS, Oceanic carbon cycle, Climate change and Ocean color in his Climatology study.

His study looks at the intersection of Climate change and topics like Forcing with Carbon sequestration and Copenhagen Accord. His studies in Biogeochemical cycle integrate themes in fields like Marine ecosystem, Seawater, Dissolved organic carbon, Earth system science and Biogeochemistry. His Carbon cycle research incorporates themes from Pacific decadal oscillation and Ocean gyre.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (65.93%)
  • Climatology (50.55%)
  • Biogeochemical cycle (35.16%)

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

  • Biogeochemistry (20.88%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (30.77%)
  • Biogeochemical cycle (35.16%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biogeochemistry, Atmospheric sciences, Biogeochemical cycle, Coupled model intercomparison project and Forcing. Biogeochemistry is a subfield of Oceanography that James R. Christian investigates. Oceanography is frequently linked to Ecosystem in his study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global warming and Sea surface temperature. His Coupled model intercomparison project study combines topics in areas such as Carbon cycle and Climate sensitivity. James R. Christian has researched Forcing in several fields, including Sulfur cycle, Oceanic carbon cycle and Climate change.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Canadian Earth System Model version 5 (CanESM5.0.3) (103 citations)
  • Carbon-concentration and carbon-climate feedbacks in CMIP6 models and their comparison to CMIP5 models (45 citations)
  • Twenty-first century ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and upper-ocean nutrient and primary production decline from CMIP6 model projections (23 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Ecology
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Coupled model intercomparison project, Climate change, Atmospheric sciences, Climate sensitivity and Atmosphere. His Coupled model intercomparison project research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Effects of global warming on oceans and Biogeochemistry. His study in Effects of global warming on oceans is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Photic zone, Representative Concentration Pathways, Radiative forcing and Sea surface temperature.

His research integrates issues of Earth science, Biogeochemical cycle and Earth system science in his study of Biogeochemistry. James R. Christian interconnects Climatology, Forcing and Oceanic carbon cycle in the investigation of issues within Atmosphere. James R. Christian integrates many fields, such as Convective Boundary Layer and engineering, in his works.
