Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

Her main research concerns Climatology, Climate change, Last Glacial Maximum, Glacial period and Vegetation. Her Climatology research incorporates themes from Climate model, Paleoclimatology, Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project and Biome. Her Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Fire regime, Carbon cycle, Biogeochemical cycle and Environmental resource management.

Sandy P. Harrison has included themes like Tundra, Temperate climate, Precipitation, Physical geography and Ice sheet in her Last Glacial Maximum study. Her study in Glacial period is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Vegetation. Her Vegetation research incorporates themes from Trait, Functional ecology and Database.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fire in the Earth System (1762 citations)
  • A global biome model based on plant physiology and dominance, soil properties and climate (1751 citations)
  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1687 citations)

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

Sandy P. Harrison mainly investigates Climatology, Climate change, Vegetation, Physical geography and Holocene. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period, Last Glacial Maximum, Paleoclimatology, Climate model and Precipitation. Her work carried out in the field of Precipitation brings together such families of science as Arid, Monsoon and Atmospheric sciences.

Sandy P. Harrison combines subjects such as Biosphere and Biogeochemical cycle with her study of Climate change. Her research in Vegetation intersects with topics in Ecosystem and Biome. Sandy P. Harrison interconnects Pollen and Vegetation in the investigation of issues within Physical geography.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (51.70%)
  • Climate change (33.47%)
  • Vegetation (26.85%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Physical geography (22.04%)
  • Climate change (33.47%)
  • Holocene (19.64%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Climate change, Holocene, Vegetation and Climatology. Her studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Land cover, China, Pollen and Vegetation. The concepts of her Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Abundance and Glacial period.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Peninsula and Seasonality in addition to Holocene. Her research integrates issues of Atmospheric sciences, Land use and Ecosystem, Biome in her study of Vegetation. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleoclimatology, Climate model, Coupled model intercomparison project, Precipitation and Last Glacial Maximum.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (285 citations)
  • Emergent relationships with respect to burned area in global satellite observations and fire-enabled vegetation models (40 citations)
  • Organizing principles for vegetation dynamics. (29 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

Sandy P. Harrison mostly deals with Climate change, Vegetation, Land use, Climatology and Precipitation. Her research on Climate change often connects related topics like Glacial period. In her study, Environmental change and Photosynthetically active radiation is inextricably linked to Ecosystem, which falls within the broad field of Vegetation.

The various areas that Sandy P. Harrison examines in her Land use study include Fire regime, Carbon cycle, Physical geography and Scale. Her Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spatial ecology and Coupled model intercomparison project. While the research belongs to areas of Precipitation, Sandy P. Harrison spends her time largely on the problem of Evapotranspiration, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Deglaciation, Interglacial, Data assimilation, Last Glacial Maximum and Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.
