Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • 16S ribosomal RNA
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Climate change, Microbiology, Genetics and Ribosomal RNA. His studies deal with areas such as Global warming and Climate sensitivity as well as Climatology. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences and Greenhouse gas.

Matthew D. Collins has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Clostridium, Bacteroides, Bacteria, Phylogenetic tree and Homology. Matthew D. Collins focuses mostly in the field of Bacteria, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biochemistry and, in certain cases, Corynebacterium bovis. His Ribosomal RNA research includes elements of Nucleic acid sequence, Phylogenetics, 16S ribosomal RNA and Cereus.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis (6478 citations)
  • The Phylogeny of the Genus Clostridium: Proposal of Five New Genera and Eleven New Species Combinations (1385 citations)
  • Long-term Climate Change: Projections, Commitments and Irreversibility (1324 citations)

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

Matthew D. Collins mostly deals with Microbiology, Bacteria, 16S ribosomal RNA, Climatology and Phylogenetic tree. His work deals with themes such as Corynebacterium, Ribosomal RNA and Taxonomy, Genus, Type species, which intersect with Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chemotaxonomy, Biochemistry and Genotype in addition to Bacteria.

He interconnects Clostridium and Ribosomal DNA in the investigation of issues within 16S ribosomal RNA. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global warming, Climate change, Climate model and Atmospheric sciences. His research integrates issues of Zoology and Phylogenetics in his study of Phylogenetic tree.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (43.24%)
  • Bacteria (26.45%)
  • 16S ribosomal RNA (24.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Climatology (25.87%)
  • Climate change (11.78%)
  • Climate model (11.20%)

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

Matthew D. Collins mainly investigates Climatology, Climate change, Climate model, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global warming and Coupled model intercomparison project. His study looks at the intersection of Global warming and topics like Meteorology with Spurious relationship.

His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Primary production, Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management. His Climate model research integrates issues from Fully coupled, HadCM3, Range, Southern Hemisphere and Global change. As a part of the same scientific study, Matthew D. Collins usually deals with the Atmospheric sciences, concentrating on Climate sensitivity and frequently concerns with GCM transcription factors, Climate commitment and Forcing.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis (6478 citations)
  • Long-term Climate Change: Projections, Commitments and Irreversibility (1324 citations)
  • Increasing frequency of extreme El Niño events due to greenhouse warming (1095 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Climate change
  • 16S ribosomal RNA

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Climate change, Climate model, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Global warming, Meteorology, Climate sensitivity and Coupled model intercomparison project. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmospheric circulation, Greenhouse gas and Environmental resource management.

His studies in Climate model integrate themes in fields like Range, Ocean current, Forcing and Global change. As a member of one scientific family, Matthew D. Collins mostly works in the field of Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Extreme weather and, on occasion, La Niña, Rainband, South Pacific convergence zone and Pacific ocean. His Precipitation research incorporates elements of Standard deviation, Primary production, Sea surface temperature, Phenology and Carbon cycle.
