Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

Amir AghaKouchak mainly focuses on Climatology, Precipitation, Meteorology, Climate change and Multivariate statistics. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Percentile, Climate model, Precipitation index, Trend analysis and Climate extremes. His study in the fields of Quantitative precipitation estimation under the domain of Precipitation overlaps with other disciplines such as Dryness.

His work on PERSIANN, Rain gauge, Monsoon and Global Precipitation Measurement as part of general Meteorology research is frequently linked to Marginal distribution, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Current, Flood myth, Hydrology and Urbanization. His study in Multivariate statistics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nonparametric statistics and Parametric statistics.

His most cited work include:

  • Multivariate Standardized Drought Index: A parametric multi-index model (328 citations)
  • Future climate risk from compound events (317 citations)
  • Global warming and changes in risk of concurrent climate extremes: Insights from the 2014 California drought (306 citations)

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

Amir AghaKouchak spends much of his time researching Climatology, Precipitation, Climate change, Hydrology and Meteorology. His research integrates issues of Multivariate statistics, Precipitation index, Climate model and Natural hazard in his study of Climatology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Global warming, Predictability, Remote sensing and Water content in addition to Precipitation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental planning, Water resource management, Agriculture, Environmental resource management and Greenhouse gas. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Water resource management, narrowing it down to issues related to the Water resources, and often Water supply. His Hydrology research is classified as research in Hydrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (28.92%)
  • Precipitation (24.31%)
  • Climate change (19.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Climate change (19.08%)
  • Climatology (28.92%)
  • Precipitation (24.31%)

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

Amir AghaKouchak mostly deals with Climate change, Climatology, Precipitation, Water resources and Flooding. His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Water resource management, Agriculture, Atmospheric sciences, Soil respiration and Greenhouse gas. His studies deal with areas such as Earth, Climate model and Hydrology as well as Climatology.

In his papers, Amir AghaKouchak integrates diverse fields, such as Precipitation and Impact studies. The various areas that Amir AghaKouchak examines in his Water resources study include Snow and Surface runoff. His Flooding research includes elements of Flood myth and Levee.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A typology of compound weather and climate events (54 citations)
  • Flash droughts present a new challenge for subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction (40 citations)
  • Understanding and managing connected extreme events (28 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climate change, Climatology, Environmental resource management, Agriculture and Water resources. The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Hydrology and Precipitation. Weather and climate is closely connected to Monsoon in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Precipitation.

His Climatology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Snow. Amir AghaKouchak has researched Environmental resource management in several fields, including Hazard and Multivariate statistics. The Water resources study combines topics in areas such as Environmental economics, Surface runoff, Snowmelt and Water resource management.
