Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Dendrochronology, Paleoclimatology, Northern Hemisphere and Physical geography. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Oceanography, Teleconnection and Megadrought. The Dendrochronology study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Structural basin.

His work carried out in the field of Paleoclimatology brings together such families of science as Spatial ecology, Global temperature, Solar variation and Global change. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Northern Hemisphere, narrowing it down to issues related to the Pseudoproxy, and often Medieval warm period. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Period and Bristlecone Pine, Pinus longaeva.

His most cited work include:

  • Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries (1525 citations)
  • Northern Hemisphere Temperatures During the Past Millennium: Inferences, Uncertainties, and Limitations (1425 citations)
  • Global Signatures and Dynamical Origins of the Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Anomaly (1415 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Dendrochronology, Physical geography, Precipitation and Dendroclimatology. In Climatology, he works on issues like Paleoclimatology, which are connected to Pinus longaeva. He interconnects Larch, Ecology, Structural basin and China in the investigation of issues within Dendrochronology.

His Physical geography research integrates issues from Volcano, Tree, Meteorology, Bristlecone Pine and Chronology. His Precipitation research includes themes of Period, Atmospheric sciences and Medieval warm period. Malcolm K. Hughes has researched Northern Hemisphere in several fields, including Pseudoproxy and Atmospheric temperature.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (35.64%)
  • Dendrochronology (32.98%)
  • Physical geography (21.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Physical geography (21.81%)
  • Volcano (6.91%)
  • Dendrochronology (32.98%)

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

Malcolm K. Hughes spends much of his time researching Physical geography, Volcano, Dendrochronology, Bristlecone Pine and Precipitation. His work deals with themes such as Productivity, General Circulation Model and Ecosystem, which intersect with Dendrochronology. Malcolm K. Hughes combines subjects such as Structural basin and Paleoclimatology with his study of Bristlecone Pine.

Malcolm K. Hughes has included themes like Global warming, Climate change, Atmospheric sciences and Shrub in his Precipitation study. His research integrates issues of Climatology and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in his study of Tree. His research on Climatology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Probabilistic logic.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tree rings and volcanic cooling (103 citations)
  • Long-term functional plasticity in plant hydraulic architecture in response to supplemental moisture. (61 citations)
  • Five millennia of paleotemperature from tree-rings in the Great Basin, USA (60 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Botany

His main research concerns Physical geography, Climatology, Volcano, Tree and Dendroclimatology. Within one scientific family, Malcolm K. Hughes focuses on topics pertaining to Climate change under Physical geography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to High elevation and Precipitation. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Probabilistic logic and Prior probability.

The various areas that Malcolm K. Hughes examines in his Dendroclimatology study include Bristlecone Pine, Pinus longaeva and Paleoclimatology. Δ18O combines with fields such as Period and Dendrochronology in his investigation. His study focuses on the intersection of Dendrochronology and fields such as Xylem with connections in the field of Moisture.
