Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Climatology
  • Climate change

Susan Wijffels focuses on Climatology, Environmental science, Oceanography, Argo and Ocean current. Her Climatology research includes themes of Salinity, Sea level and Physical oceanography. Her Salinity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Latitude and Water cycle.

Her Environmental science research spans across into fields like Climate model, Ocean heat content, Climate change and Surface warming. She has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Throughflow and Far East. The various areas that Susan Wijffels examines in her Argo study include Isopycnal and Ocean observations.

Her most cited work include:

  • Improved estimates of upper-ocean warming and multi-decadal sea-level rise (554 citations)
  • Ocean Salinities Reveal Strong Global Water Cycle Intensification During 1950 to 2000 (551 citations)
  • Ocean Salinities Reveal Strong Global Water Cycle Intensification During 1950 to 2000 (551 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Climatology, Oceanography, Environmental science, Argo and Ocean current. Her Climatology research incorporates elements of Climate model and Physical oceanography. Her work on Thermocline, Hydrography and Boundary current is typically connected to Ocean gyre as part of general Oceanography study, connecting several disciplines of science.

A majority of her Environmental science research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Climate change, Ocean heat content, Salinity, Global warming and Meteorology. Her work deals with themes such as Precipitation and Water cycle, which intersect with Salinity. Her Ocean current study combines topics in areas such as Outflow, Water mass, Geostrophic wind and Upwelling.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (69.87%)
  • Oceanography (55.77%)
  • Environmental science (57.69%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Environmental science (57.69%)
  • Climate change (19.23%)
  • Climatology (69.87%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental science, Climate change, Climatology, Oceanography and Sea level. Her Climate change study also includes

  • Atmosphere and related Effects of global warming on oceans and Cryosphere,
  • Altimeter which intersects with area such as Ice sheet, Glacier and Ocean heat content. Her study of Ocean current is a part of Climatology.

Her research in the fields of Pacific ocean, Hydrography and Tropical pacific overlaps with other disciplines such as Creative commons. Her Sea level research incorporates themes from Arctic ice pack, Sea ice, Sea surface temperature and Ice core. Her Global warming research is multidisciplinary, relying on both White paper, Climate model, Thermal energy storage and Water cycle.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Global sea-level budget 1993 - present (185 citations)
  • State of the Climate in 2016 (70 citations)
  • STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2017 (67 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Climate change
  • Climatology

Environmental science, Climatology, Climate change, Sea level and Sea surface temperature are her primary areas of study. She conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Environmental science and Sea ice concentration through her research. Her Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Global warming and Upwelling.

She combines subjects such as Intertropical Convergence Zone, Tropical Eastern Pacific and Boundary current with her study of Climate change. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Altimeter, Argo and Walker circulation. Her study looks at the intersection of Sea surface temperature and topics like Ice core with Arctic, Monsoon and Antarctic sea ice.
