Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Global warming

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Vorticity, Classical mechanics, Astrobiology, Circumstellar habitable zone and Meteorology. Raymond T. Pierrehumbert interconnects Advection and Chaotic mixing in the investigation of issues within Vorticity. His Classical mechanics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Turbulence, Mechanics and Vortex.

His Astrobiology research includes themes of Super-Earth, Exoplanet, Planet, Terrestrial planet and Kepler-62e. His Exoplanet research integrates issues from Atmosphere, Greenhouse effect and Solar System. The concepts of his Meteorology study are interwoven with issues in Natural resource economics and Atmospheric sciences, Forcing.

His most cited work include:

  • Abrupt climate change (1052 citations)
  • Surface quasi-geostrophic dynamics (431 citations)
  • Warming Early Mars with Carbon Dioxide Clouds That Scatter Infrared Radiation (402 citations)

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

Raymond T. Pierrehumbert focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Atmosphere, Planet and Astrobiology. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer, Meteorology, Convection and Climate model. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Global warming, Climate change, Glacier, Deglaciation and Snowball Earth.

His study in Atmosphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mechanics, Atmospheric circulation, Water vapor and Tidal locking. His studies deal with areas such as Stars and Solar System as well as Planet. The study incorporates disciplines such as Terrestrial planet and Outgassing in addition to Astrobiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (19.64%)
  • Climatology (16.96%)
  • Atmosphere (16.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Planet (15.63%)
  • Exoplanet (11.61%)
  • Atmosphere (16.96%)

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

His primary areas of study are Planet, Exoplanet, Atmosphere, Astrobiology and Tidal locking. In his research, Evaporation, Mechanics, Radiative forcing and Latent heat is intimately related to Solar System, which falls under the overarching field of Planet. His work carried out in the field of Atmosphere brings together such families of science as Haze, Radius, Surface pressure and Aerosol.

Raymond T. Pierrehumbert combines subjects such as Stars, Terrestrial planet and Primary with his study of Astrobiology. Raymond T. Pierrehumbert has researched Tidal locking in several fields, including Atmospheric circulation and Geophysics. Raymond T. Pierrehumbert focuses mostly in the field of Outgassing, narrowing it down to matters related to Circumstellar habitable zone and, in some cases, Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Meat consumption, health, and the environment (283 citations)
  • A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL (145 citations)
  • Climate impacts of cultured meat and beef cattle. (51 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Global warming

Planet, Greenhouse gas, Atmosphere, Livestock and Consumption are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmospheric circulation and Solar System. His Solar System study results in a more complete grasp of Astrobiology.

His work investigates the relationship between Greenhouse gas and topics such as Climate change that intersect with problems in Environmental protection. His study looks at the intersection of Atmosphere and topics like Surface pressure with Latent heat, Radiative forcing and Evaporation. His research integrates issues of Silicate, Surface runoff, Precipitation and Thermodynamic limit in his study of Atmospheric sciences.
