Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Global warming

His primary areas of study are Plateau, Climatology, Physical geography, Glacier and Precipitation. His Plateau research includes elements of Global warming, Climate change, Hydrology, Water balance and Monsoon. His studies deal with areas such as Westerlies, Air mass and Seasonality as well as Monsoon.

The various areas that Tandong Yao examines in his Climatology study include δ18O, Sea level and Water cycle. He has included themes like Geomorphology, Holocene and China in his Physical geography study. His Glacier research focuses on Snow and how it relates to Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer and Atmospheric sciences.

His most cited work include:

  • Different glacier status with atmospheric circulations in Tibetan Plateau and surroundings (1147 citations)
  • Tropical Climate Instability: The Last Glacial Cycle from a Qinghai-Tibetan Ice Core (790 citations)
  • A High-Resolution Millennial Record of the South Asian Monsoon from Himalayan Ice Cores (690 citations)

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

Tandong Yao mainly investigates Plateau, Climatology, Glacier, Precipitation and Physical geography. As a member of one scientific family, Tandong Yao mostly works in the field of Plateau, focusing on Hydrology and, on occasion, Environmental chemistry, Structural basin and Altitude. His research on Climatology often connects related topics like Global warming.

His Glacier research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Snow, Glacial period and Climate change. His work in Precipitation covers topics such as δ18O which are related to areas like Moisture. His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Water level and Holocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Plateau (68.38%)
  • Climatology (47.43%)
  • Glacier (43.48%)

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

  • Plateau (68.38%)
  • Physical geography (34.58%)
  • Glacier (43.48%)

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

Tandong Yao mainly focuses on Plateau, Physical geography, Glacier, Climatology and Precipitation. As part of one scientific family, Tandong Yao deals mainly with the area of Plateau, narrowing it down to issues related to the Snow, and often Sensible heat. His Physical geography research includes themes of Drainage basin, Holocene, Debris and Water level.

His Glacier research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period, Climate change, Humidity and Permafrost. His study in the fields of Ice core, Indian summer monsoon, Teleconnection and Lapse rate under the domain of Climatology overlaps with other disciplines such as Levoglucosan. The Precipitation study combines topics in areas such as Monsoon and Isotopes of oxygen.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Importance and vulnerability of the world's water towers (152 citations)
  • Lake volume and groundwater storage variations in Tibetan Plateau's endorheic basin (134 citations)
  • Lake volume and groundwater storage variations in Tibetan Plateau's endorheic basin (134 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Global warming

His scientific interests lie mostly in Plateau, Climatology, Glacier, Physical geography and Climate change. Tandong Yao has researched Plateau in several fields, including Global warming, Aquatic ecosystem, Adaptation and Water cycle. As part of his studies on Climatology, Tandong Yao frequently links adjacent subjects like Precipitation.

His Glacier study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Snow and Permafrost. His Physical geography study incorporates themes from Natural, Paleoclimatology, Elevation, Land surface temperature and Holocene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cryosphere and Ecosystem in addition to Climate change.
