Overview

Timothy J. Griffis is affiliated with the University of Minnesota in the United States and focuses on environmental science, with a significant body of work covering global and planetary change, atmospheric science, ecology, environmental chemistry, and water science and technology. Their research deeply explores atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, soil and water nutrient dynamics, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, peatlands and wetlands ecology, soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, and hydrology and watershed management studies.

Their recent publications include detailed studies such as "Representativeness of Eddy-Covariance flux footprints for areas surrounding AmeriFlux sites" (2021, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology), "Redefining droughts for the U.S. Corn Belt: The dominant role of atmospheric vapor pressure deficit over soil moisture in regulating stomatal behavior of Maize and Soybean" (2020, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology), and "Warming response of peatland CO2 sink is sensitive to seasonality in warming trends" (2022, Nature Climate Change). They also authored "Hydrometeorological sensitivities of net ecosystem carbon dioxide and methane exchange of an Amazonian palm swamp peatland" (2020, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology) and contributed to "Evaluation of prediction and forecasting models for evapotranspiration of agricultural lands in the Midwest U.S" (2021, Journal of Hydrology).

Frequent coauthors in their work include John M. Baker, Randall K. Kolka, D. Tyler Roman, Xuhui Lee, and Ankur R. Desai.

Griffis's publications appear most often in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, followed by Geophysical Research Letters, OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
