Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ocean current
  • Climatology

Karen J. Heywood spends much of her time researching Oceanography, Ocean current, Water mass, Climatology and Antarctic Bottom Water. Her research related to Weddell Sea Bottom Water, Thermohaline circulation, Front, Continental shelf and Sea ice might be considered part of Oceanography. Her biological study deals with issues like Ocean surface topography, which deal with fields such as Upwelling.

Her Ocean current study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Circumpolar star, Altimeter and Current, Drifter. The various areas that Karen J. Heywood examines in her Water mass study include Climate change, Subantarctic Mode Water, Antarctic Intermediate Water and Mode water. Her Baroclinity study in the realm of Climatology interacts with subjects such as Eddy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Widespread Intense Turbulent Mixing in the Southern Ocean (331 citations)
  • Multidecadal warming of Antarctic waters (226 citations)
  • On the export of Antarctic Bottom Water from the Weddell Sea (139 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Oceanography, Climatology, Water mass, Ice shelf and Ocean current. All of her Oceanography and Hydrography, Weddell Sea Bottom Water, Sea ice, Thermohaline circulation and Antarctic Bottom Water investigations are sub-components of the entire Oceanography study. Her Climatology research integrates issues from Euphausia, Climate model and Antarctic krill.

In her research, Polar front is intimately related to Front, which falls under the overarching field of Water mass. The study incorporates disciplines such as Meltwater, Glacial period, Glacier, Antarctic ice sheet and Ice sheet in addition to Ice shelf. Her work carried out in the field of Ocean current brings together such families of science as Circumpolar star and Drifter.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (75.24%)
  • Climatology (30.95%)
  • Water mass (19.52%)

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

  • Oceanography (75.24%)
  • Ice shelf (14.76%)
  • Glider (9.52%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Ice shelf, Glider, Glacier and Bay. Her study in the field of Hydrography, Water mass and Seawater also crosses realms of Biogeochemical cycle. Her work deals with themes such as Meltwater, Glacial period, Circumpolar deep water, Antarctic ice sheet and Ice sheet, which intersect with Ice shelf.

The Ice sheet study combines topics in areas such as Climate system, Antarctic sea ice and Climatology. Her Glider research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Inflow and North sea. Her work investigates the relationship between Bay and topics such as Monsoon that intersect with problems in Atmosphere.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Antarctic Slope Current in a Changing Climate (50 citations)
  • OceanGliders : a component of the integrated GOOS (29 citations)
  • Physical Controls on Oxygen Distribution and Denitrification Potential in the North West Arabian Sea (23 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Ice shelf, Underwater glider, Bay and Glider. Karen J. Heywood has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Trough and Circulation. Her Ice shelf study incorporates themes from Meltwater, Glacial period, Glacier, Circumpolar deep water and Continental shelf.

Her Continental shelf study combines topics in areas such as Trough, Front and Temperature salinity diagrams. Her Glider research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Limiting oxygen concentration and Oceanic basin. Her Water mass research incorporates themes from Climatology, Antarctic sea ice and Ice sheet.
