Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

His primary areas of study are Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Aerosol, Plume and Air quality index. His Ozone and Atmosphere study in the realm of Meteorology interacts with subjects such as NOx and Nitrogen oxide. His work in the fields of Atmospheric sciences, such as Troposphere, overlaps with other areas such as Urban area.

As a part of the same scientific study, John S. Holloway usually deals with the Aerosol, concentrating on Arctic and frequently concerns with Biomass. Specifically, his work in Plume is concerned with the study of Panache. His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Oceanography and Radiocarbon dating.
