Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, East Asian Monsoon, Loess, Monsoon and Glacial period. His Climatology research includes themes of Climate change, Pleistocene and China. His East Asian Monsoon study incorporates themes from Cave, Holocene and Orbital forcing.

His Loess research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Physical geography, Quaternary and Grain size. His Monsoon research integrates issues from Soil water, Stalagmite, Isotopes of oxygen and Precipitation. Zhisheng An has included themes like Plateau, Atmospheric circulation and Ice sheet in his Glacial period study.

His most cited work include:

  • A High-Resolution Absolute-Dated Late Pleistocene Monsoon Record from Hulu Cave, China (2196 citations)
  • High secondary aerosol contribution to particulate pollution during haze events in China (2110 citations)
  • Global Iron Connections Between Desert Dust, Ocean Biogeochemistry, and Climate (1841 citations)

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

Zhisheng An mainly investigates Climatology, Loess, Monsoon, East Asian Monsoon and Physical geography. His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Climate change, Stalagmite, Holocene, Precipitation and Plateau. His Loess research incorporates themes from Geochemistry, Aeolian processes and Quaternary.

His Monsoon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Speleothem, Glacial period, Northern Hemisphere and Paleoclimatology. Zhisheng An regularly links together related areas like Westerlies in his East Asian Monsoon studies. His research integrates issues of δ18O, Vegetation, China and Radiocarbon dating in his study of Physical geography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (33.41%)
  • Loess (24.72%)
  • Monsoon (24.72%)

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

  • Climatology (33.41%)
  • Monsoon (24.72%)
  • Climate change (16.26%)

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

Zhisheng An focuses on Climatology, Monsoon, Climate change, Precipitation and Physical geography. His Climatology research incorporates elements of Younger Dryas, Last Glacial Maximum and Loess. Specifically, his work in Monsoon is concerned with the study of East Asian Monsoon.

His studies deal with areas such as Speleothem and Radiative forcing as well as East Asian Monsoon. Zhisheng An has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Glacial period, Global temperature, δ18O and Paleoclimatology. His Glacial period study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plateau and Vegetation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Severe haze in northern China: A synergy of anthropogenic emissions and atmospheric processes. (211 citations)
  • Severe haze in northern China: A synergy of anthropogenic emissions and atmospheric processes. (211 citations)
  • Diverse manifestations of the mid-Pleistocene climate transition. (44 citations)
