Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Oceanography

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ice core, Oceanography, Carbon cycle, Isotopes of carbon and Environmental science. Jochen Schmitt interconnects Glacial period, Ice sheet and European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica in the investigation of issues within Ice core. His study in Glacial period is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sea ice, Meteorology and Atmospheric methane.

His studies deal with areas such as Oceanic climate and Interglacial as well as Carbon cycle. The Interglacial study combines topics in areas such as Sediment, Ice age, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and Holocene. His Isotopes of carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Deep sea, Sea surface temperature, Deglaciation, Ocean current and Last Glacial Maximum.

His most cited work include:

  • One-to-one coupling of glacial climate variability in Greenland and Antarctica. (920 citations)
  • Carbon Isotope Constraints on the Deglacial CO2 Rise from Ice Cores (265 citations)
  • Carbon Isotope Constraints on the Deglacial CO2 Rise from Ice Cores (265 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ice core, Environmental science, Atmospheric sciences, Interglacial and Glacial period. His Ice core research includes elements of Carbon cycle, Holocene and Isotopes of carbon. His work in Isotopes of carbon covers topics such as Analytical chemistry which are related to areas like Isotope analysis.

His Atmospheric sciences research includes themes of Hydrology, Permafrost and Last Glacial Maximum. Jochen Schmitt has researched Interglacial in several fields, including Sediment, Sea level, Deglaciation and Earth science. He combines subjects such as Isotopic composition, Climate change and Dome with his study of Glacial period.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (83.61%)
  • Environmental science (34.97%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (33.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ice core (83.61%)
  • Interglacial (41.53%)
  • Environmental science (34.97%)

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

Ice core, Interglacial, Environmental science, Atmospheric sciences and Glacial period are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Deglaciation, Holocene, Sea level, Ice sheet and Atmospheric methane in his study of Ice core. His Interglacial study incorporates themes from Climatology, Ocean heat content and Sea surface temperature.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Climatology, Land ice, Carbon cycle and Atmosphere is strongly linked to Intertropical Convergence Zone. Ocean heat content is a primary field of his research addressed under Oceanography. Within one scientific family, Jochen Schmitt focuses on topics pertaining to Greenhouse gas under Atmospheric sciences, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Permafrost, Dome and Geomorphology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Preindustrial 14CH4 indicates greater anthropogenic fossil CH4 emissions. (40 citations)
  • Old carbon reservoirs were not important in the deglacial methane budget (19 citations)
  • Global ocean heat content in the Last Interglacial (8 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Greenhouse gas

Jochen Schmitt mainly focuses on Climatology, Interglacial, Ice core, Land ice and Carbon cycle. In his papers, Jochen Schmitt integrates diverse fields, such as Ice core and Environmental science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intertropical Convergence Zone, Glacial period, Atmosphere and Before Present.

The various areas that Jochen Schmitt examines in his Deglaciation study include Atmospheric circulation, δ13C, Sea surface temperature and Mean radiant temperature. In his study, Ocean heat content is inextricably linked to Sea level, which falls within the broad field of Atmospheric circulation. His Greenhouse gas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mud volcano and Ice sheet.
