Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Virus
  • Disease

Jimin Sun focuses on Aeolian processes, Loess, Paleontology, Geochemistry and Geomorphology. His Aeolian processes study incorporates themes from Westerlies, Climatology, Paleosol, Holocene and Quartz. His studies deal with areas such as Glacial period, Pedogenesis, Pleistocene, Provenance and Monsoon as well as Loess.

Many of his studies on Paleontology apply to Plateau as well. His study focuses on the intersection of Geochemistry and fields such as Interglacial with connections in the field of Transition zone and Sediment. His work investigates the relationship between Geomorphology and topics such as Loess plateau that intersect with problems in Soil water, Soil horizon and Winter monsoon.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial and temporal characteristics of dust storms in China and its surrounding regions, 1960-1999 : Relations to source area and climate (621 citations)
  • Provenance of loess material and formation of loess deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau (403 citations)
  • Pedostratigraphy and paleomagnetism of a ̃7.0 Ma eolian loess-red clay sequence at Lingtai, Loess Plateau, north-central China and the implications for paleomonsoon evolution (285 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Loess, Cenozoic, Geomorphology and Plateau. His study in Foreland basin, Tectonics, Sedimentary rock, Structural basin and Magnetostratigraphy is carried out as part of his studies in Paleontology. Jimin Sun combines subjects such as Glacial period, Quaternary, Interglacial, Aeolian processes and Geochemistry with his study of Loess.

His work carried out in the field of Aeolian processes brings together such families of science as Monsoon, Quartz, Pleistocene and Paleosol. His Cenozoic study incorporates themes from Tectonic uplift, Arid, Aridification, Provenance and Late Miocene. His Geomorphology study which covers Physical geography that intersects with Loess plateau.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (48.40%)
  • Loess (26.03%)
  • Cenozoic (30.14%)

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

  • Paleontology (48.40%)
  • Structural basin (14.61%)
  • Cenozoic (30.14%)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Structural basin, Cenozoic, Foreland basin and Provenance. Paleontology is frequently linked to Plateau in his study. Jimin Sun interconnects Aridification and Chronology in the investigation of issues within Structural basin.

His study in Cenozoic is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arid and Tectonic uplift. His research integrates issues of Glacial period and Loess in his study of Provenance. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Loess plateau, Geochemistry and Erosion.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heatwave and mortality in 31 major Chinese cities: Definition, vulnerability and implications. (51 citations)
  • Climate factors and the East Asian summer monsoon may drive large outbreaks of dengue in China. (18 citations)
  • Timing of seawater retreat from proto-Paratethys, sedimentary provenance, and tectonic rotations in the late Eocene-early Oligocene in the Tajik Basin, Central Asia (7 citations)
