Two SEE scientists named in 2016 list of highly cited scientists wordlwide

Two School of Earth and Environment scientists, Dominick Spracklen and Ken Carslaw, have been named in a list of the most highly cited scientists across the world.

The Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researchers Award (formerly known as the Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Researchers Award) is given to those researchers ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and publication year, earning them the mark of exceptional impact. The list is derived from highly cited papers in journals indexed in the Web of Science during an 11-year period, and in the latest listing from 2004 to 2014.

This year’s list included only 15 Geoscientists in the UK. Ken Carslaw was also named in the 2014 and 2015 list. To see the full list, please visit http://highlycited.com.
