Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Climate change
Statistics

His primary areas of investigation include Mediterranean climate, Climate change, Climatology, Physical geography and Fire prevention. The concepts of his Mediterranean climate study are interwoven with issues in Environmental hazard and Environmental protection. His work in the fields of Climate effects, Radiative forcing and Climate model overlaps with other areas such as Flammability.

His Model output statistics study in the realm of Climatology interacts with subjects such as Pollination. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global warming and Increased risk. His studies deal with areas such as Range, Common spatial pattern, Ecology and Atmospheric sciences as well as Precipitation.

His most cited work include:

Inter-annual and decadal changes in teleconnections drive continental-scale synchronization of tree reproduction (132 citations)
Intensive vs clinical follow-up after treatment of primary breast cancer: 10-year update of a randomized trial. National Research Council Project on Breast Cancer Follow-up. (121 citations)
Exacerbated fires in Mediterranean Europe due to anthropogenic warming projected with non-stationary climate-fire models (92 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Precipitation, Climate change, Mediterranean climate and Physical geography. His Climatology research integrates issues from Predictability, Meteorology, Climate model and Downscaling. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Evapotranspiration, Streamflow and Scale.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trend analysis and Precipitation index. His work carried out in the field of Mediterranean climate brings together such families of science as Flood myth, Fire regime and Environmental resource management. His Fire regime research includes themes of Proxy and Simple linear regression.

He most often published in these fields:

Climatology (58.72%)
Precipitation (51.38%)
Climate change (40.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

Climate change (40.37%)
Climatology (58.72%)
Precipitation (51.38%)

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

Marco Turco mainly focuses on Climate change, Climatology, Precipitation, Mediterranean climate and Period. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Storm, Tropical cyclone and Smoke. He frequently studies issues relating to Precipitation index and Climatology.

His Precipitation research includes elements of Extreme weather, Generalized additive model, Tropics, Atmospheric sciences and Evapotranspiration. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water use, Agricultural productivity and Environmental resource management in addition to Mediterranean climate. Seasonality, Weather Research and Forecasting Model, Spin-up, Trade offs and Homogeneous are fields of study that overlap with his Period research.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Challenges for drought assessment in the Mediterranean region under future climate scenarios (13 citations)
On the Spin‐Up Period in WRF Simulations Over Europe: Trade‐Offs Between Length and Seasonality (12 citations)
Long-term precipitation in Southwestern Europe reveals no clear trend attributable to anthropogenic forcing (7 citations)
