Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Climate change, Tundra, Ecosystem, Arctic and Permafrost. His Climate change research integrates issues from Climatology, Precipitation, Peat, Plant community and Wetland. His Tundra research incorporates elements of Hydrology, Water content, Primary production and Boreal.

His Ecosystem research is within the category of Ecology. His Arctic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global warming and Carbon cycle. His Permafrost research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mire, Soil water, Physical geography, Carbon dioxide and Subarctic climate.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecological Dynamics Across the Arctic Associated with Recent Climate Change (856 citations)
  • Sensitivity of the carbon cycle in the Arctic to climate change (695 citations)
  • Thawing sub-arctic permafrost - effects on vegetation and methane emissions (422 citations)

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

Torben R. Christensen focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Arctic, Tundra, Ecosystem and Permafrost. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Growing season, Primary production, Peat, Hydrology and Methane. His Arctic study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climate change and Terrestrial ecosystem.

His work deals with themes such as Soil water, Climatology, Eddy covariance and Snowmelt, which intersect with Tundra. Ecology covers Torben R. Christensen research in Ecosystem. His Permafrost research incorporates elements of Carbon cycle, Permafrost carbon cycle, Mire, Physical geography and Subarctic climate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (42.86%)
  • Arctic (37.73%)
  • Tundra (38.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (42.86%)
  • Tundra (38.83%)
  • Permafrost (31.50%)

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

Torben R. Christensen mainly investigates Atmospheric sciences, Tundra, Permafrost, Arctic and Ecosystem. His Atmospheric sciences research also works with subjects such as

  • Carbon dioxide, Greenhouse gas and Global warming most often made with reference to Methane,
  • Hydrology together with Snowpack. His Tundra research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climatology, Growing season, Ecosystem respiration, Carbon cycle and Snowmelt.

His Permafrost study incorporates themes from Permafrost carbon cycle, Soil water, Peat, Dissolved organic carbon and Subarctic climate. His Arctic research includes themes of Sea ice and Climate change. Torben R. Christensen combines subjects such as Nutrient and Extreme weather with his study of Ecosystem.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire: an expert assessment (138 citations)
  • Key indicators of Arctic climate change : 1971–2017 (112 citations)
  • Key indicators of Arctic climate change : 1971–2017 (112 citations)
