Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Ice age

His main research concerns Ice core, Glacial period, Paleoclimatology, Oceanography and Ice sheet. His Ice core research is under the purview of Climatology. His study looks at the relationship between Glacial period and topics such as Physical geography, which overlap with Absolute dating, Holocene, Climate state and Flandrian interglacial.

In his research, Aeolian processes, Earth's energy budget, Preboreal and Particle size is intimately related to Atmospheric sciences, which falls under the overarching field of Paleoclimatology. His research investigates the connection between Oceanography and topics such as Ice age that intersect with issues in Climate change. His study in Ice sheet is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Last Glacial Maximum, Sea ice thickness and European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica.

His most cited work include:

  • Eight glacial cycles from an Antarctic ice core (1672 citations)
  • A stratigraphic framework for abrupt climatic changes during the Last Glacial period based on three synchronized Greenland ice-core records: refining and extending the INTIMATE event stratigraphy (843 citations)
  • A 60 000 year Greenland stratigraphic ice core chronology (747 citations)

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

Matthias Bigler focuses on Ice core, Glacial period, Climatology, Oceanography and Ice sheet. His Ice core research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paleoclimatology, Sea ice, Interglacial, Mineralogy and Dome. His Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Sea salt and Sea salt aerosol.

His work deals with themes such as Atmospheric sciences and Physical geography, which intersect with Climatology. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Ice age and Aeolian processes. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ice sheet, focusing on Ice-sheet model and, on occasion, Greenland ice sheet.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (100.00%)
  • Glacial period (43.90%)
  • Climatology (34.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Ice core (100.00%)
  • Climatology (34.76%)
  • Glacial period (43.90%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ice core, Climatology, Glacial period, Environmental science and Ice sheet. Matthias Bigler combines Ice core and Interval in his research. The various areas that Matthias Bigler examines in his Climatology study include Tephra, δ18O, Abrupt climate change and Paleoclimatology.

His Paleoclimatology research incorporates themes from Northern Hemisphere and Atmospheric temperature. Glacial period connects with themes related to Teleconnection in his study. His Ice sheet research integrates issues from Deglaciation, Ice stream, Physical geography and Antarctic sea ice.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Greenland records of aerosol source and atmospheric lifetime changes from the Eemian to the Holocene. (34 citations)
  • Millennial changes in North American wildfire and soil activity over the last glacial cycle (34 citations)
  • (MIS3 & 2) millennial oscillations in Greenland dust and Eurasian aeolian records – A paleosol perspective (28 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Glacier

Matthias Bigler mostly deals with Ice core, Glacial period, Ice sheet, Paleoclimatology and Climatology. His work on Eemian as part of general Glacial period research is frequently linked to Environmental science, bridging the gap between disciplines. Matthias Bigler combines subjects such as Sea ice, Ice stream and Antarctic sea ice with his study of Ice sheet.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Sea ice, Physical geography are connected with Sea salt aerosol, Holocene, Interglacial and Cryosphere and other disciplines. His Paleoclimatology study incorporates themes from Northern Hemisphere and Proxy. His work on Climatology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as δ18O.
