Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Oceanography

Valérie Masson-Delmotte mainly investigates Climatology, Climate change, Ice core, Oceanography and Glacial period. Her research integrates issues of δ18O, Climate model, Paleoclimatology and Meteorology in her study of Climatology. Her Climate change research incorporates themes from Southern Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere and Greenhouse gas.

Her work carried out in the field of Ice core brings together such families of science as Marine isotope stage, Ice age, Paleontology and North Greenland Ice Core Project. In her research on the topic of Oceanography, Water cycle and Atmospheric methane is strongly related with Atmospheric sciences. Her studies deal with areas such as Physical geography and Holocene as well as Glacial period.

Her most cited work include:

  • High-resolution record of Northern Hemisphere climate extending into the last interglacial period. (1980 citations)
  • Eight glacial cycles from an Antarctic ice core (1672 citations)
  • Orbital and Millennial Antarctic Climate Variability over the Past 800,000 Years (1418 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Ice core, Oceanography, Glacial period and δ18O. She interconnects Climate change, Climate model, Paleoclimatology, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation in the investigation of issues within Climatology. Her Ice core research includes elements of European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, Ice sheet, Interglacial, Snow and Ice-sheet model.

Her Interglacial research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Deglaciation and Sea level. Her study in Glacial period is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Firn, Physical geography and Holocene. Her δ18O research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dendrochronology and Proxy.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (57.39%)
  • Ice core (51.20%)
  • Oceanography (18.90%)

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

  • Climatology (57.39%)
  • Ice core (51.20%)
  • δ18O (18.21%)

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

Valérie Masson-Delmotte spends much of her time researching Climatology, Ice core, δ18O, Atmospheric sciences and Snow. Her work deals with themes such as Paleoclimatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Global warming and Ice sheet, which intersect with Climatology. Her research in Ice core intersects with topics in Glacial period, Sea ice, Northern Hemisphere, Antarctic ice sheet and Water vapor.

The concepts of her Glacial period study are interwoven with issues in Sea surface temperature and Oceanography. Her studies in Northern Hemisphere integrate themes in fields like Deglaciation and Physical geography. Her δ18O research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Period, Atmospheric models and Proxy.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2 °C global warming could be dangerous (308 citations)
  • Ice Melt, Sea Level Rise and Superstorms: Evidence from Paleoclimate Data, Climate Modeling, and Modern Observations that 2{\deg}C Global Warming is Dangerous (221 citations)
  • Interglacials of the last 800,000 years (197 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Global warming
  • Carbon dioxide

Climatology, Ice core, Climate change, δ18O and Greenhouse gas are her primary areas of study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleoclimatology, Climate model, Global temperature, Sea level and Ice sheet. Oceanography covers Valérie Masson-Delmotte research in Ice core.

The various areas that she examines in her Climate change study include Sustainability and Interglacial. Her work in Interglacial covers topics such as Holocene which are related to areas like Glacial period and Milankovitch cycles. Her δ18O study also includes

  • Water vapor which connect with Surface water and Humidity,
  • Snow, which have a strong connection to Physical geography and Glacier.
