Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Stephen J. Burns mostly deals with Climatology, Monsoon, Holocene, Oceanography and δ18O. His Climatology study incorporates themes from Speleothem and Stalagmite. His research integrates issues of Paleoclimatology, Intertropical Convergence Zone, Precipitation and Ice core in his study of Monsoon.

His study focuses on the intersection of Paleoclimatology and fields such as Quaternary with connections in the field of Before Present. His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period and Atmospheric circulation. While the research belongs to areas of δ18O, Stephen J. Burns spends his time largely on the problem of Isotopes of oxygen, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Glacial lake.

His most cited work include:

  • Holocene forcing of the Indian monsoon recorded in a stalagmite from southern Oman. (1171 citations)
  • Holocene ITCZ and Indian monsoon dynamics recorded in stalagmites from Oman and Yemen (Socotra) (695 citations)
  • Strong coherence between solar variability and the monsoon in Oman between 9 and 6 kyr ago (603 citations)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Climatology, Speleothem, Holocene and Monsoon. His Oceanography research includes themes of Glacial period, Sediment, Quaternary and Isotopes of oxygen. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Global change, Tropics and Precipitation.

His work carried out in the field of Speleothem brings together such families of science as Paleontology, Period, Stalagmite and Physical geography. He has researched Holocene in several fields, including Paleoclimatology and Thermohaline circulation. His research in Monsoon intersects with topics in Ice core, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Southern Hemisphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (37.27%)
  • Climatology (32.30%)
  • Speleothem (29.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Speleothem (29.19%)
  • Climatology (32.30%)
  • Stalagmite (21.74%)

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

His primary areas of study are Speleothem, Climatology, Stalagmite, Precipitation and Paleoceanography. His Speleothem research focuses on subjects like Glacial period, which are linked to Northern Hemisphere. His biological study focuses on Monsoon.

As part of one scientific family, Stephen J. Burns deals mainly with the area of Stalagmite, narrowing it down to issues related to the Paleoclimatology, and often Holocene, Paleoecology, Grassland and Pleistocene. The concepts of his Precipitation study are interwoven with issues in δ18O, Indian ocean, Cave and Isotopes of carbon. His Paleoceanography research is within the category of Oceanography.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rapid human-induced landscape transformation in Madagascar at the end of the first millennium of the Common Era (53 citations)
  • The role of North Brazil Current transport in the paleoclimate of the Brazilian Nordeste margin and paleoceanography of the western tropical Atlantic during the late Quaternary (37 citations)
  • High-resolution speleothem record of precipitation from the Yucatan Peninsula spanning the Maya Preclassic Period (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Stephen J. Burns spends much of his time researching Precipitation, Stalagmite, Cave, Speleothem and Climatology. His work in Precipitation addresses subjects such as δ18O, which are connected to disciplines such as Atmospheric sciences. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleoclimatology and Isotopes of oxygen.

His work in Paleoclimatology covers topics such as Structural basin which are related to areas like Oceanography and Holocene. His Holocene research incorporates elements of Continental shelf and Glacial period. His Monsoon, Middle latitudes and Ice core study in the realm of Climatology connects with subjects such as Advection.
