What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Sea ice, Antarctic sea ice, Ice sheet and Cryosphere.
His work on Oceanography is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Glacial period.
His Sea ice study is concerned with the larger field of Climatology.
His Ice sheet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ice shelf, Ice stream, Ice-sheet model, Deglaciation and Antarctic ice sheet.
Xavier Crosta focuses mostly in the field of Cryosphere, narrowing it down to matters related to Arctic ice pack and, in some cases, Desertification, Global warming, Quaternary and Lead.
The Ice core study combines topics in areas such as Holocene and Holocene climatic optimum.
His most cited work include:
- Constraints on the magnitude and patterns of ocean cooling at the Last Glacial Maximum (437 citations)
- Sea-surface temperature and sea ice distribution of the Southern Ocean at the EPILOG Last Glacial Maximum—a circum-Antarctic view based on siliceous microfossil records (397 citations)
- The biogeography of major diatom taxa in Southern Ocean sediments: 2. Open ocean related species (197 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Sea ice, Diatom, Holocene and Antarctic sea ice.
His studies in Oceanography integrate themes in fields like Glacial period and Sediment.
Xavier Crosta has included themes like Last Glacial Maximum, Thermohaline circulation and Ice sheet in his Sea ice study.
His work on Biogenic silica as part of general Diatom study is frequently linked to Environmental science, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as East antarctica, Glacier and Upwelling.
His Antarctic sea ice research incorporates elements of Ice shelf and Drift ice.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (76.22%)
- Sea ice (34.59%)
- Diatom (28.11%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Oceanography (76.22%)
- Sea ice (34.59%)
- Holocene (25.95%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Xavier Crosta spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Sea ice, Holocene, Sea surface temperature and Glacial period.
His research in the fields of Antarctic sea ice, Cruise and Diatom overlaps with other disciplines such as Core.
His Sea ice research is included under the broader classification of Climatology.
His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bloom, Submarine pipeline, Productivity, Sediment and Paleoceanography.
His work deals with themes such as Climate change, Ice shelf, Peninsula, Westerlies and Sediment core, which intersect with Sea surface temperature.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Polar front and Southern Hemisphere.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Ocean temperature impact on ice shelf extent in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula (19 citations)
- Southern Ocean sea ice and frontal changes during the Late Quaternary and their linkages to Asian summer monsoon (8 citations)
- Last Abundant Appearance Datum of Hemidiscus karstenii driven by climate change (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Glacial period, Sea ice, Antarctic sea ice and Holocene.
His research ties Pleistocene and Oceanography together.
His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Polar front and Terrigenous sediment.
His study in Sea ice focuses on Ice shelf in particular.
Xavier Crosta has researched Antarctic sea ice in several fields, including Meltwater, Indian ocean, Ocean current and Ice sheet.
His Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Cryosphere and Arctic.
