Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Climatology
  • Ecology

Her main research concerns Climatology, Period, Arid, Desertification and West africa. Her studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Atmosphere and Climate change. She interconnects Famine and Land degradation in the investigation of issues within Climate change.

Her Arid research includes themes of Saharan Air Layer, Dust storm, Physical geography and Land use, land-use change and forestry. Her Physical geography research integrates issues from Mineral dust, Haboob, Ice core and Loess. Her study in Desertification is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Albedo, Vegetation and Hydrology.

Her most cited work include:

  • ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GLOBAL SOURCES OF ATMOSPHERIC SOIL DUST IDENTIFIED WITH THE NIMBUS 7 TOTAL OZONE MAPPING SPECTROMETER (TOMS) ABSORBING AEROSOL PRODUCT (2036 citations)
  • Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia (709 citations)
  • Mutations in Dynein Link Motor Neuron Degeneration to Defects in Retrograde Transport (601 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Precipitation, Arid, Wet season and Period. Her Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate change and Intertropical Convergence Zone. Her research in Precipitation intersects with topics in Water balance and Centennial.

Her research investigates the connection between Arid and topics such as Desertification that intersect with issues in Land degradation and Vegetation. Her Wet season study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pluvial, Wind speed, Empirical orthogonal functions and Forcing. In her work, Greater horn and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index is strongly intertwined with Physical geography, which is a subfield of Period.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (67.27%)
  • Precipitation (13.94%)
  • Arid (12.73%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Climatology (67.27%)
  • Teleconnection (9.70%)
  • Precipitation (13.94%)

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

Sharon E. Nicholson mainly focuses on Climatology, Teleconnection, Precipitation, Arid and East africa. The various areas that Sharon E. Nicholson examines in her Climatology study include Hydrometeorology and Intertropical Convergence Zone. Sharon E. Nicholson usually deals with Teleconnection and limits it to topics linked to Climatic variability and Indian ocean and Seasonal forecasting.

Her work carried out in the field of Precipitation brings together such families of science as Centennial, Greater horn and Physical geography. The concepts of her Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Boreal spring, Period and Seasonality. Her Arid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nocturnal, Dry season, Proxy and Divergence.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A Review of Climate Dynamics and Climate Variability in Eastern Africa (336 citations)
  • Climate and climatic variability of rainfall over eastern Africa (156 citations)
  • The ITCZ and the Seasonal Cycle over Equatorial Africa (87 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Climatology
  • Ecology

Her primary areas of study are Climatology, Teleconnection, Arid, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Seasonal cycle. Her work deals with themes such as Boreal and Wet season, which intersect with Climatology. Her Teleconnection research incorporates themes from Seasonality, Physical geography and Climatic variability.

Her Arid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Period, Divergence, Paleoclimatology, Holocene and Spatial ecology. Her work deals with themes such as Subtropics and Proxy, which intersect with Intertropical Convergence Zone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Geopotential height, Climate model, Radiosonde and Water cycle in addition to Seasonal cycle.
