UMD Researchers Ranked Among 2022 Top Environmental Scientists by Research.com

May 11, 2022

In the newly released 2022 Top Scientist rankings by Research.com, 18 University of Maryland researchers ranked among the Top 1,000 Environmental Sciences researchers in the United States, and seven ranked among the Top 1,000 worldwide. 

The rankings take into account h-index (a measure which reflects the number of influential documents authored by scientists), publications and citations values collected in December 2021. According to Research.com, the goal of their rankings is to “inspire scholars, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers worldwide to explore where leading experts are heading and to provide an opportunity for the entire scientific community to discover who the leading experts in specific fields of research, in different countries, or even within research institutions are."

University of Maryland professors from the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOSC), the Department of Geographical Sciences (GEOG), the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (CHEM), School of Public Policy (SPP), and the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) who appeared in the top 1,000 are listed below with their worldwide and U.S. rankings in the category of Environmental Sciences:
