What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Climate change
- Agriculture
- Ecology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Agriculture and Political economy of climate change.
His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Development economics and Environmental protection.
His study looks at the relationship between Environmental resource management and fields such as Adaptive capacity, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His research integrates issues of Hazard, Natural hazard, Vulnerability assessment and Environmental health in his study of Environmental planning.
His work on Adaptation strategies as part of general Agriculture study is frequently connected to Adaptive strategies and Typology, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His research in Political economy of climate change intersects with topics in Scientific consensus, Sustainable Agriculture Innovation Network, Sustainable development and Management science.
His most cited work include:
- Global Desertification: Building a Science for Dryland Development (1521 citations)
- Adaptation to climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity (1020 citations)
- Climate change and social vulnerability: Toward a sociology and geography of food insecurity (641 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Thomas E. Downing mainly investigates Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Natural resource economics and Political science.
His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agriculture, Food security and Greenhouse gas.
His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Resource, Sustainability, Adaptive capacity and Water resources.
His Sustainability research integrates issues from Livelihood and Sustainable development.
His studies in Environmental planning integrate themes in fields like Natural hazard, Vulnerability assessment, Adaptation strategies, Water conservation and Wetland.
His Political economy of climate change study incorporates themes from Sustainable Agriculture Innovation Network and Agricultural policy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climate change (41.80%)
- Environmental resource management (38.52%)
- Environmental planning (22.13%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Environmental resource management (38.52%)
- Climate change (41.80%)
- Resilience (7.38%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Environmental resource management, Climate change, Resilience, Environmental planning and Effects of global warming.
The concepts of his Environmental resource management study are interwoven with issues in Conservation planning, WEAP, Water conservation, Key and Adaptive capacity.
The various areas that he examines in his Water conservation study include Integrated water resources management, Water quality, Sustainability and Sustainable development.
In general Climate change study, his work on Political economy of climate change often relates to the realm of Political science, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Livelihood, Natural hazard, Best practice, Vulnerability assessment and Poverty in addition to Environmental planning.
His research investigates the connection with Effects of global warming and areas like Climate change scenario which intersect with concerns in Hydrological modelling.
Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The atlas of climate change : mapping the world's greatest challenge (75 citations)
- Balancing groundwater conservation and rural livelihoods under water and climate uncertainties: An integrated hydro-economic modeling framework (69 citations)
- A hydro-economic model for the assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation in irrigated agriculture (61 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Climate change
- Psychology
- Ecology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Effects of global warming, Climate change scenario and WEAP.
Specifically, his work in Climate change is concerned with the study of Future climate.
His Environmental resource management research incorporates elements of Climate change adaptation and Environmental economics.
The Effects of global warming study combines topics in areas such as Political economy of climate change, Natural disaster, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Environmental protection and Economy.
He has included themes like Agriculture, Stakeholder and Hydrological modelling in his Climate change scenario study.
His WEAP study which covers Water conservation that intersects with Environmental planning, Sustainable development and Water quality.
