What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Paleontology
Yan Zhao mainly focuses on Holocene, Climatology, Vegetation, Monsoon and Climate change.
His work in Climatology addresses issues such as Arid, which are connected to fields such as Ice core.
Yan Zhao combines subjects such as Steppe and Physical geography with his study of Vegetation.
His work in Physical geography addresses subjects such as Pollen, which are connected to disciplines such as Nitraria, Plateau, Prehistory and China.
His Monsoon study combines topics in areas such as Westerlies, Climate pattern, Paleoclimatology and Holocene climatic optimum.
In general Climate change study, his work on Holocene climate change often relates to the realm of Environmental science, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His most cited work include:
- Holocene moisture evolution in arid central Asia and its out-of-phase relationship with Asian monsoon history (692 citations)
- A Database and Synthesis of Northern Peatland Soil Properties and Holocene Carbon and Nitrogen Accumulation (251 citations)
- Holocene monsoon climate documented by oxygen and carbon isotopes from lake sediments and peat bogs in China: a review and synthesis (189 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Holocene, Physical geography, Plateau, Vegetation and Climate change.
His Holocene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Arid, Climatology, Monsoon and Paleoclimatology.
His Physical geography study also includes fields such as
- Peat, which have a strong connection to Transect,
- Paleoecology that connect with fields like Bog.
His research integrates issues of Hydrology, Structural basin, Total organic carbon and Ice core in his study of Plateau.
The Vegetation study combines topics in areas such as Steppe, Pollen, Habitat and Temperate climate.
His Climate change research incorporates elements of Macrofossil, Atmospheric circulation and Chronology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Holocene (47.62%)
- Physical geography (41.90%)
- Plateau (41.90%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Physical geography (41.90%)
- Climate change (37.14%)
- Vegetation (42.86%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Physical geography, Climate change, Vegetation, Plateau and Holocene are his primary areas of study.
In his work, Fire history and Paleoecology is strongly intertwined with Peat, which is a subfield of Physical geography.
His work on Global warming as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Vegetation research includes elements of Glacial period, Steppe, Pollen, Forcing and Sediment core.
Yan Zhao has researched Plateau in several fields, including Structural basin, Period, Total organic carbon, Potentilla and Cyperaceae.
His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both East Asian Monsoon, Monsoon, Climatology and Species richness, Rarefaction.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Westerlies Asia and monsoonal Asia: Spatiotemporal differences in climate change and possible mechanisms on decadal to sub-orbital timescales (107 citations)
- Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming (74 citations)
- Long-term summer warming trend during the Holocene in central Asia indicated by alpine peat α-cellulose δ13C record (26 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Climate change
- Paleontology
Yan Zhao mostly deals with Climate change, Physical geography, Plateau, Holocene and Peat.
His study looks at the relationship between Climate change and fields such as Climatology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Glacial period, Vegetation, Forcing and Sediment core.
Yan Zhao interconnects Sedimentary rock, Chronology, δ13C and Temperature record in the investigation of issues within Plateau.
His study in Holocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Interglacial, Westerlies, Arid, Monsoon and Teleconnection.
His Peat research incorporates themes from Carbon cycle, Carbon sink, Atmospheric sciences and Biogeochemistry.
