Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Climate change
  • Global warming

Jeffrey P. Severinghaus focuses on Ice core, Climatology, Oceanography, Abrupt climate change and Paleoclimatology. The concepts of his Ice core study are interwoven with issues in Ice age, Deglaciation, Atmospheric sciences and Chronology. Jeffrey P. Severinghaus combines subjects such as Firn and δ18O with his study of Climatology.

His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Jeffrey P. Severinghaus integrates many fields in his works, including Abrupt climate change and Environmental science. His research integrates issues of Younger Dryas, Glacial period and Atmospheric methane in his study of Paleoclimatology.

His most cited work include:

  • A redetermination of the isotopic abundances of atmospheric Ar (659 citations)
  • Timing of abrupt climate change at the end of the Younger Dryas interval from thermally fractionated gases in polar ice (561 citations)
  • Abrupt Climate Change at the End of the Last Glacial Period Inferred from Trapped Air in Polar Ice (438 citations)

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

Jeffrey P. Severinghaus mostly deals with Ice core, Atmospheric sciences, Environmental science, Climatology and Glacial period. His Ice core research incorporates elements of Paleoclimatology, Firn, Deglaciation, Abrupt climate change and Ice sheet. His Ice sheet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ice shelf, Ice stream, Ice-sheet model, Sea ice and Paleontology.

His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Isotopes of argon, Carbon cycle and Convective mixing. His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ice age and Climate change, Climate model. His studies in Glacial period integrate themes in fields like Monsoon, Oceanography and Holocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (52.46%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (28.96%)
  • Environmental science (27.87%)

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

  • Ice core (52.46%)
  • Environmental science (27.87%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (28.96%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ice core, Environmental science, Atmospheric sciences, Glacial period and Deglaciation. His studies deal with areas such as Paleontology, Sea surface temperature, Blue ice and Paleoclimatology as well as Ice core. Jeffrey P. Severinghaus has researched Paleoclimatology in several fields, including Volcano and Ice stream.

The various areas that Jeffrey P. Severinghaus examines in his Atmospheric sciences study include Transport phenomena, Firn and Greenhouse gas. His Glacial period study incorporates themes from Atmosphere, Physical geography and Holocene. His Snow research also works with subjects such as

  • Marine isotope stage which is related to area like Ice sheet,
  • Dome which intersects with area such as Oceanography.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mean global ocean temperatures during the last glacial transition (60 citations)
  • Preindustrial 14CH4 indicates greater anthropogenic fossil CH4 emissions. (40 citations)
  • Old carbon reservoirs were not important in the deglacial methane budget (19 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Climate change
  • Global warming

Jeffrey P. Severinghaus spends much of his time researching Ice core, Atmospheric sciences, Environmental science, Glacial period and Greenhouse gas. His Ice core research incorporates elements of Paleoclimatology, Sea surface temperature, Deglaciation, Holocene and Sea level. He combines subjects such as Antarctic ice sheet and Physical geography with his study of Paleoclimatology.

He focuses mostly in the field of Glacial period, narrowing it down to matters related to Southern Hemisphere and, in some cases, Lead. His research in Greenhouse gas tackles topics such as Permafrost which are related to areas like Mud volcano, Atmospheric methane and Ice sheet. His Atmosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Firn and Climate change.
