Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Ice age

Ice core, Ice sheet, Oceanography, Glacial period and Ice-sheet model are his primary areas of study. His Ice core study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as North Greenland Ice Core Project and Dye 3. His Ice sheet research includes elements of Arctic ice pack and Ice stream.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Physical geography and Temperature record, Holocene in addition to Glacial period. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climate change, Climate state and Interglacial. His Ice-sheet model research incorporates elements of Greenland ice core project, Paleontology and Greenland ice sheet.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for general instability of past climate from a 250-kyr ice-core record (3622 citations)
  • High-resolution record of Northern Hemisphere climate extending into the last interglacial period. (1980 citations)
  • Irregular glacial interstadials recorded in a new Greenland ice core (1207 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ice core, Ice sheet, Oceanography, Ice stream and Geomorphology. His study in Ice core is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Greenland ice core project, Glacial period, Paleontology and Physical geography. His work focuses on many connections between Glacial period and other disciplines, such as Climate change, that overlap with his field of interest in Northern Hemisphere.

He interconnects Arctic ice pack, European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica and Ice-sheet model in the investigation of issues within Ice sheet. His research investigates the connection between Oceanography and topics such as Interglacial that intersect with problems in Climate state. As a part of the same scientific study, Niels S. Gundestrup usually deals with the Geomorphology, concentrating on Borehole and frequently concerns with Camp Century.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice core (50.67%)
  • Ice sheet (33.33%)
  • Oceanography (24.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2013)?

  • Ice core (50.67%)
  • Climatology (14.67%)
  • Oceanography (24.00%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ice core, Climatology, Oceanography, Ice sheet and Isotopes of oxygen. His Ice core study combines topics in areas such as European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, Paleontology, Borehole and Drill site. His Paleontology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Greenland ice core project and Greenland Ice Sheet Project.

His Ice sheet research incorporates elements of Arctic ice pack and Ice stream, Ice-sheet model. His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Glacial period and Interglacial. His research in Climate pattern intersects with topics in Northern Hemisphere and Physical geography.

Between 2001 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • High-resolution record of Northern Hemisphere climate extending into the last interglacial period. (1980 citations)
  • North Atlantic climatic oscillations revealed by deep Greenland ice cores (296 citations)
  • Basal melt at NorthGRIP modeled from borehole, ice-core and radio-echo sounder observations (84 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Ice age

Niels S. Gundestrup mainly investigates Ice core, Oceanography, Deep drilling, Mining engineering and Environmental science. His Ice core research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Echo sounding, Geomorphology and Borehole. His study brings together the fields of Interglacial and Oceanography.

Environmental science combines with fields such as Proxy and Climatology in his investigation.
