Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Programming language
  • Statistics

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Tropospheric ozone, Climate model and Radiative forcing. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change, Greenhouse gas and Atmospheric chemistry. Specifically, his work in Climatology is concerned with the study of Stratosphere.

His work in Tropospheric ozone covers topics such as Ozone layer which are related to areas like Representative Concentration Pathways. His Coupled model intercomparison project study, which is part of a larger body of work in Climate model, is frequently linked to European union, bridging the gap between disciplines. He works mostly in the field of Radiative forcing, limiting it down to topics relating to Global warming and, in certain cases, Environmental engineering and Fugitive emissions, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • A Geochemical Classification for Granitic Rocks (2259 citations)
  • Nature and origin of A-type granites with particular reference to southeastern Australia (1463 citations)
  • Multimodel ensemble simulations of present-day and near-future tropospheric ozone (910 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Geochemistry, Ozone and Radiative forcing. His studies deal with areas such as Climate change, Greenhouse gas and Atmospheric chemistry as well as Atmospheric sciences. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Global temperature, Climate model and Aerosol.

His research on Geochemistry frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Batholith. Ozone is a subfield of Meteorology that William J. Collins tackles. William J. Collins regularly ties together related areas like Global warming in his Radiative forcing studies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (35.90%)
  • Climatology (31.65%)
  • Geochemistry (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (25.00%)
  • Zircon (10.90%)
  • Structural engineering (5.32%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Zircon, Structural engineering, Paleontology and Atmospheric sciences. His Geochemistry research focuses on Tectonics and how it relates to Provenance and Structural basin. Troposphere is the focus of his Atmospheric sciences research.

He is interested in Tropospheric ozone, which is a branch of Ozone. His work in Tropospheric ozone addresses subjects such as Precipitation, which are connected to disciplines such as Climate change. He combines topics linked to Climate model with his work on Radiative forcing.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets (70 citations)
  • Origin of postcollisional magmas and formation of porphyry Cu deposits in southern Tibet (56 citations)
  • Carbon budgets for 1.5 and 2 °C targets lowered by natural wetland and permafrost feedbacks (40 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Programming language
  • Statistics

William J. Collins mostly deals with Geochemistry, Zircon, Crust, Ozone and Atmospheric sciences. His work focuses on many connections between Geochemistry and other disciplines, such as Basement, that overlap with his field of interest in Craton, Passive margin, Sedimentary basin, Continental arc and Magmatism. His Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Laurentia and Terrane.

His study looks at the relationship between Ozone and topics such as Aerosol, which overlap with Tropospheric ozone and Greenhouse gas. The study of Atmospheric sciences is intertwined with the study of Climate model in a number of ways. His Climate model study also includes

  • Earth system science, which have a strong connection to Climate change,
  • Positive feedback that connect with fields like Global warming.
