Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Greenhouse gas

Global warming, Climate change, Greenhouse gas, Climate model and Thermohaline circulation are her primary areas of study. Her Effects of global warming study, which is part of a larger body of work in Global warming, is frequently linked to Maximum temperature, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Effects of global warming research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Natural resource economics and Sustainable development.

In her research on the topic of Greenhouse gas, Climate sensitivity is strongly related with Carbon cycle. Her study focuses on the intersection of Climate model and fields such as Global change with connections in the field of North Atlantic Deep Water. The Thermohaline circulation study combines topics in areas such as Representative Concentration Pathways, Ocean current and Earth system science.

Her most cited work include:

  • The proportionality of global warming to cumulative carbon emissions (538 citations)
  • Technical Summary: Global warming of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (444 citations)
  • Lifetime of Anthropogenic Climate Change: Millennial Time Scales of Potential CO2 and Surface Temperature Perturbations (234 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Climate change, Global warming, Greenhouse gas, Climate model and Carbon cycle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermohaline circulation, Atmosphere and Earth system science in addition to Climate change. Her Global warming research also works with subjects such as

  • Global change that connect with fields like Monsoon,
  • Natural resource economics that connect with fields like Sustainable development.

Her Greenhouse gas study combines topics in areas such as Representative Concentration Pathways, Methane and Global climate. Her Climate model study incorporates themes from Meteorology, Precipitation, Abrupt climate change and Climate commitment. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Earth system model, Carbon dioxide, Forcing and Carbon sink.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (60.23%)
  • Global warming (37.50%)
  • Greenhouse gas (37.50%)

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

  • Climate change (60.23%)
  • Carbon cycle (26.14%)
  • Earth system science (15.91%)

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

Kirsten Zickfeld mainly investigates Climate change, Carbon cycle, Earth system science, Mean radiant temperature and Zero emission. In general Climate change, her work in Extreme weather is often linked to Waterborne diseases linking many areas of study. Her studies deal with areas such as Greenhouse gas and Overshoot as well as Carbon cycle.

Her Greenhouse gas research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Methane and Wetland. Her work in Zero emission is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Global warming. Her studies in Global warming integrate themes in fields like Natural resource economics and Climate policy.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Technical Summary: Global warming of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (444 citations)
  • Current fossil fuel infrastructure does not yet commit us to 1.5 °C warming (45 citations)
  • Urban tree planting to maintain outdoor thermal comfort under climate change: The case of Vancouver's local climate zones (18 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Carbon dioxide

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Mean radiant temperature, Climate change, Natural resource economics, Atmosphere and Irradiance. Her Mean radiant temperature research incorporates themes from Radiant cooling, Wind speed, Zero emission, Earth system science and Earth System Grid. Her work on Global warming and Representative Concentration Pathways as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Shading and Longwave, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Her research integrates issues of Meteorology and Greenhouse gas in her study of Global warming. Kirsten Zickfeld combines subjects such as Fossil fuel, Climate system, Effects of global warming and Sustainable development with her study of Natural resource economics. Her Atmosphere research incorporates elements of Carbon dioxide removal, Thermal and Carbon cycle.
