Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Climatology
  • Global warming

Raphael Neukom spends much of his time researching Climate change, Southern Hemisphere, Climatology, Proxy and Paleoclimatology. His work on Environmental change is typically connected to Selection as part of general Climate change study, connecting several disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oceanography, Biogeochemistry and Atmospheric temperature in addition to Southern Hemisphere.

His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Multivariate statistics and Surface air temperature. His study focuses on the intersection of Proxy and fields such as Sea surface temperature with connections in the field of North Atlantic oscillation and Global temperature. His work is dedicated to discovering how Paleoclimatology, Northern Hemisphere are connected with Climate model, Predictability and Radiative forcing and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia (709 citations)
  • The influence of sampling design on tree-ring-based quantification of forest growth (161 citations)
  • The influence of sampling design on tree-ring-based quantification of forest growth (161 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Climate change, Proxy, Climate model and Southern Hemisphere. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Paleoclimatology and Seasonality. In the field of Climate change, his study on Global climate overlaps with subjects such as Snow, Centennial and Regional differences.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Regional science, Spatial distribution and Mean radiant temperature. His research investigates the link between Climate model and topics such as Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation that cross with problems in Negative relationship and Climate pattern. His Southern Hemisphere research integrates issues from Multi proxy and Northern Hemisphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (107.32%)
  • Climate change (46.34%)
  • Proxy (58.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2020)?

  • Climatology (107.32%)
  • Proxy (58.54%)
  • Teleconnection (21.95%)

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

Raphael Neukom mainly focuses on Climatology, Proxy, Teleconnection, Climate model and Southern Hemisphere. His Climatology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Climate change. Many of his research projects under Climate change are closely connected to Regional differences and History with Regional differences and History, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His work on Proxy is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Climate sensitivity. His Climate model study which covers Ice core that intersects with Monsoon and Northern Hemisphere. His study in Southern Hemisphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climate pattern, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and Negative relationship.

Between 2018 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • No evidence for globally coherent warm and cold periods over the preindustrial Common Era (87 citations)
  • Consistent multi-decadal variability in global temperature reconstructions and simulations over the Common Era. (73 citations)
  • Unlocking pre-1850 instrumental meteorological records: A global inventory (23 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Climatology
  • Global warming

His main research concerns Climatology, Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Forcing and Data rescue. His study in the field of Ice core and Teleconnection is also linked to topics like Spatial consistency. His Ice core study incorporates themes from Coupled model intercomparison project, Climate model, Pseudoproxy and Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project.

His Teleconnection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Common spatial pattern, La Niña, Proxy and Holocene. His work in Spatial consistency incorporates the disciplines of Coherence, Centennial, Global warming, Epoch and Period. His Climate system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global temperature and Mean radiant temperature.
