Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Amazon rainforest, Deforestation, Climate change, Environmental protection and Logging. His studies deal with areas such as Forestry, Transect, Remote sensing and Land use as well as Amazon rainforest. He has included themes like Agroforestry and Secondary forest in his Deforestation study.

The Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Forest ecology and Disturbance. His Climate change research integrates issues from Subtropics, Natural disaster and Ecosystem, Fire regime. As a part of the same scientific family, Mark A. Cochrane mostly works in the field of Ecosystem, focusing on Earth system science and, on occasion, Environmental resource management.

His most cited work include:

  • Fire in the Earth System (1654 citations)
  • Large-scale impoverishment of Amazonian forests by logging and fire (1067 citations)
  • Fire science for rainforests (761 citations)

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

Mark A. Cochrane spends much of his time researching Amazon rainforest, Forestry, Agroforestry, Ecology and Deforestation. He interconnects Agriculture, Logging, Land use and Environmental protection in the investigation of issues within Amazon rainforest. The concepts of his Agroforestry study are interwoven with issues in Biomass, Dry season, Forest ecology and Tropics.

Ecology is represented through his Biodiversity, Disturbance, Fire regime, Ecosystem and Vegetation research. His Fire regime research focuses on Climate change and how it connects with Environmental resource management. The various areas that Mark A. Cochrane examines in his Deforestation study include Fragmentation and Greenhouse gas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amazon rainforest (29.29%)
  • Forestry (22.14%)
  • Agroforestry (22.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Peat (11.43%)
  • Forestry (22.14%)
  • Agroforestry (22.14%)

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

Peat, Forestry, Agroforestry, Ecosystem and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His study in Forestry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tropical forest, Swamp and Amazon forest, Amazon rainforest. His Agroforestry study incorporates themes from Slash-and-burn, Land use, Deforestation, Soil retrogression and degradation and Threatened species.

His research in Deforestation intersects with topics in Land suitability, Land conversion and Crop. In general Ecosystem study, his work on Primary production often relates to the realm of Vegetation, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Global change research incorporates themes from Greenhouse gas and Environmental protection.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human exposure and sensitivity to globally extreme wildfire events. (152 citations)
  • The Science of Firescapes: Achieving Fire-Resilient Communities. (95 citations)
  • Field measurements of trace gases and aerosols emitted by peat fires in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, during the 2015 El Niño (94 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Temperate climate, Deforestation, Fire regime, Tropics and Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Combustibility, Fire frequency and Satellite imagery, which intersect with Temperate climate. He integrates several fields in his works, including Deforestation and Production.

Mark A. Cochrane focuses mostly in the field of Fire regime, narrowing it down to topics relating to Productivity and, in certain cases, Woodland, Water balance and Biomass. Mark A. Cochrane has researched Tropics in several fields, including Agriculture, Global and Planetary Change, Atmospheric thermodynamics and Climate model. His research combines Forestry and Ecology.
