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.
