Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Loess, Monsoon, Climatology, Pleistocene and Aeolian processes. His Loess research incorporates themes from Winter monsoon and Quaternary, Interglacial. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Monsoon, focusing on Holocene and, on occasion, Global warming.

His Climatology research integrates issues from Glacial period and Physical geography. His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paleosol and Paleoclimatology. His Paleontology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plateau and Pedogenesis.

His most cited work include:

  • CHINESE LOESS AND THE PALEOMONSOON (444 citations)
  • Stacked 2.6‐Ma grain size record from the Chinese loess based on five sections and correlation with the deep‐sea δ18O record (412 citations)
  • Towards an orbital time scale for chinese loess deposits (368 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Loess, Monsoon, Climatology, Paleontology and Glacial period. His Loess research includes elements of Geochemistry, Aeolian processes and Interglacial. His Aeolian processes research focuses on Pleistocene and how it relates to Quaternary and Forcing.

His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stadial, China, East Asia, Climate change and Ice sheet. In his study, Clastic rock is inextricably linked to Plateau, which falls within the broad field of Paleontology. His work in Glacial period tackles topics such as Physical geography which are related to areas like Holocene, δ18O, Transect, Vegetation and Hydrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Loess (61.16%)
  • Monsoon (28.10%)
  • Climatology (26.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Holocene (15.70%)
  • Physical geography (24.79%)
  • China (13.22%)

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

Zhongli Ding spends much of his time researching Holocene, Physical geography, China, Loess and Isotopes of carbon. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Agriculture, Ecosystem and Climatology, Monsoon, which intersect with Holocene. His research integrates issues of Storm, δ18O, Last Glacial Maximum and Monsoon precipitation in his study of Physical geography.

His research investigates the connection with Loess and areas like Geochemistry which intersect with concerns in Mineralogy. His Paleosol study combines topics in areas such as Lithostratigraphy and Pleistocene, Interglacial. In his study, Aeolian processes is strongly linked to Paleomagnetism, which falls under the umbrella field of Pleistocene.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Warming-induced northwestward migration of the East Asian monsoon rain belt from the Last Glacial Maximum to the mid-Holocene. (117 citations)
  • Constraints from loess on the Hf–Nd isotopic composition of the upper continental crust (90 citations)
  • A 249 kyr stack of eight loess grain size records from northern China documenting millennial‐scale climate variability (64 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of study are Loess, Holocene, China, Climatology and Physical geography. Zhongli Ding combines subjects such as Range and Geochemistry, Zircon with his study of Loess. His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plateau, Craton and Geomorphology.

Global warming, Last Glacial Maximum, Global cooling and Earth science is closely connected to Monsoon in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Holocene. His China study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Paleosol, Geoheritage and Human settlement. His study in the field of East Asian Monsoon is also linked to topics like Magnitude.
