Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Sustainability
  • China

Robert J. Nicholls mainly focuses on Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental protection, Sea level and Coastal flood. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Storm surge, Coastal management, Environmental planning and Flooding. His Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Vulnerability assessment, Environmental change and Climate model.

His studies in Environmental protection integrate themes in fields like Coastal hazards, Megacity, Urbanization, Natural resource economics and Population growth. His studies deal with areas such as Climatology, Wetland and Threatened species as well as Sea level. The various areas that Robert J. Nicholls examines in his Coastal flood study include Flood myth, Food security, Socioeconomics and Indirect costs.

His most cited work include:

  • Summary for policymakers (8355 citations)
  • Climate change 2007 : impacts, adaptation and vulnerability : Working Group II contribution to the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2621 citations)
  • Sea-Level Rise and Its Impact on Coastal Zones (1342 citations)

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

Robert J. Nicholls mostly deals with Climate change, Environmental resource management, Sea level, Environmental planning and Coastal flood. Robert J. Nicholls has researched Climate change in several fields, including Climatology, Coastal management, Flooding and Environmental protection. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vulnerability assessment, Natural resource economics, Environmental change and Ecosystem services.

His Sea level study focuses on Oceanography and Physical geography. The various areas that Robert J. Nicholls examines in his Coastal flood study include Flood myth and Coastal hazards. His studies deal with areas such as Floodplain and Storm surge as well as Flood myth.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (39.01%)
  • Environmental resource management (32.09%)
  • Sea level (17.02%)

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

  • Climate change (39.01%)
  • Environmental resource management (32.09%)
  • Coastal flood (17.20%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Coastal flood, Flood myth and Sea level. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Drainage basin, Shore and Environmental planning. His work in Environmental resource management covers topics such as Sea level rise which are related to areas like Wetland.

Robert J. Nicholls has included themes like Water level and Environmental protection in his Coastal flood study. His Flood myth study also includes

  • Flooding together with Coastal erosion,
  • Storm surge which is related to area like Fluvial. Sea level is closely attributed to Climatology in his work.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Future response of global coastal wetlands to sea-level rise (214 citations)
  • Understanding extreme sea levels for broad-scale coastal impact and adaptation analysis (121 citations)
  • The impact of future sea-level rise on the global tides (76 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Sustainability
  • Agriculture

Robert J. Nicholls mainly investigates Climate change, Sea level, Flood myth, Coastal flood and Environmental planning. His Climate change research includes themes of Drainage basin, Environmental resource management and Water resource management. His studies in Sea level integrate themes in fields like Climatology, Flooding, Ocean acidification and Operations research.

His Flood myth study incorporates themes from Elevation, Discharge, Physical geography and Natural hazard. His Coastal flood research incorporates elements of Vulnerability assessment and Water level. His work carried out in the field of Environmental planning brings together such families of science as Agriculture, Public policy and Transformational leadership.
