2018 - Fellow, The World Academy of Sciences

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Monsoon, Loess, East Asian Monsoon and Paleontology. His Climatology research integrates issues from Glacial period, Interglacial, Holocene and Precipitation. The various areas that he examines in his Monsoon study include Driving factors and Paleoclimatology.

He has included themes like Aeolian processes and Quaternary in his Loess study. His study focuses on the intersection of Paleontology and fields such as Plateau with connections in the field of Thermohaline circulation and North Atlantic Deep Water. As a member of one scientific family, Zhengtang Guo mostly works in the field of Paleosol, focusing on Physical geography and, on occasion, Granulometry and Weathering.

His most cited work include:

  • Onset of Asian desertification by 22 Myr ago inferred from loess deposits in China (1184 citations)
  • Ice-Volume Forcing of East Asian Winter Monsoon Variations in the Past 800,000 Years (350 citations)
  • A major reorganization of Asian climate by the early Miocene (302 citations)

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

Climatology, Loess, Paleontology, Physical geography and Plateau are his primary areas of study. His Climatology research incorporates elements of Dendrochronology, China and Precipitation. His studies deal with areas such as Aeolian processes, Quaternary and Mineralogy as well as Loess.

His work deals with themes such as Cenozoic and Sequence, which intersect with Aeolian processes. He has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Pleistocene, Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Holocene and Vegetation. His research in Plateau tackles topics such as Arid which are related to areas like Subtropical ridge.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (57.50%)
  • Loess (27.50%)
  • Paleontology (22.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Climatology (57.50%)
  • Precipitation (17.92%)
  • Plateau (22.08%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Precipitation, Plateau, Dendrochronology and Paleontology. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as China and Ice sheet. His study on Plateau also encompasses disciplines like

  • Geochemistry that intertwine with fields like Neogene,
  • Climate change which is related to area like Arid.

His Dendrochronology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Period, Pacific decadal oscillation and Isotopes of oxygen. The Global cooling study combines topics in areas such as Late Miocene and Monsoon. His Monsoon research focuses on Northern Hemisphere and how it relates to East Asia.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Quaternary integrative stratigraphy and timescale of China (35 citations)
  • Clay mineral assemblages in the Zhaotong Basin of southwestern China: Implications for the late Miocene and Pliocene evolution of the South Asian monsoon (13 citations)
  • Clay mineral assemblages in the Zhaotong Basin of southwestern China: Implications for the late Miocene and Pliocene evolution of the South Asian monsoon (13 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Dendrochronology, Precipitation, Pacific decadal oscillation and Climate change. His Climatology study which covers Interglacial that intersects with Glacier mass balance. His Dendrochronology research includes themes of Chronology, Period and Isotopes of oxygen.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Water resources, Plateau, Streamflow and La Niña. The concepts of his Plateau study are interwoven with issues in Illite, Kaolinite, Sedimentary rock, Late Miocene and Monsoon. His Sea ice research incorporates themes from East Asian Monsoon, Orography and Ice core.
