Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

P. Ciais mostly deals with Greenhouse gas, Climatology, Inversion, Atmospheric sciences and Meteorology. P. Ciais has included themes like Carbon sequestration, Atmospheric carbon cycle, Carbon cycle and Environmental resource management in his Greenhouse gas study. He interconnects Climate model, Precipitation, Water balance, Evapotranspiration and FluxNet in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His Inversion research incorporates elements of Northern Hemisphere, Transect and Arctic. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Climate change, Carbon sink, Air quality index and Primary production. His research investigates the link between Meteorology and topics such as Remote sensing that cross with problems in Data assimilation.

His most cited work include:

  • Towards robust regional estimates of CO2 sources and sinks using atmospheric transport models. (921 citations)
  • Europe's terrestrial biosphere absorbs 7 to 12% of European anthropogenic CO2 emissions (510 citations)
  • The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission (494 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Meteorology, Carbon cycle and Climate change. His Atmospheric sciences research integrates issues from Atmosphere, Primary production, Ecosystem, Carbon sink and Greenhouse gas. His Greenhouse gas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carbon sequestration, Carbon dioxide and Environmental protection.

His study explores the link between Climatology and topics such as Vegetation that cross with problems in Scale. Meteorology connects with themes related to Remote sensing in his study. P. Ciais is interested in Climate model, which is a branch of Climate change.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (39.43%)
  • Climatology (24.39%)
  • Meteorology (13.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (39.43%)
  • Ecosystem (12.20%)
  • Greenhouse gas (11.79%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Greenhouse gas, Climatology and Carbon cycle. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meteorology, Data assimilation, Carbon sink and Global change. His work on Wind speed and Inversion is typically connected to Estimation as part of general Meteorology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil carbon, Soil water, Heat wave and Hydrology in addition to Ecosystem. The concepts of his Greenhouse gas study are interwoven with issues in Global warming, Climate change and Fossil fuel. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trace gas, Carbon dioxide, Vegetation and Land use, land-use change and forestry.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global patterns of phosphatase activity in natural soils. (114 citations)
  • An attempt at estimating Paris area CO 2 emissions from atmospheric concentration measurements (101 citations)
  • Uncertainty in the response of terrestrial carbon sink to environmental drivers undermines carbon-climate feedback predictions. (85 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Climatology, Vegetation and Terrestrial ecosystem. His work deals with themes such as Land cover, Meteorology, Carbon cycle and Co2 concentration, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water, Soil carbon and Climate change.

He has researched Climatology in several fields, including MOPITT, Trace gas, Carbon dioxide and Greenhouse gas. His Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Snow, Boreal, Nutrient and Biome. His research investigates the connection with Terrestrial ecosystem and areas like Carbon sink which intersect with concerns in Global warming.
