Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing

His primary areas of study are Glacier, Remote sensing, Physical geography, Debris and Digital elevation model. His Glacier research is under the purview of Geomorphology. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Orientation, Terrain and National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Andreas Kääb works mostly in the field of Physical geography, limiting it down to topics relating to Global warming and, in certain cases, Arctic and Moraine. His work carried out in the field of Debris brings together such families of science as Glacial period, Geotechnical engineering, Glacial lake outburst flood and Natural hazard. Andreas Kääb focuses mostly in the field of Digital elevation model, narrowing it down to topics relating to Aerial photography and, in certain cases, Structural basin, Land ice and Landslide.

His most cited work include:

  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • Contrasting patterns of early twenty-first-century glacier mass change in the Himalayas (654 citations)
  • Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011 (458 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Remote sensing, Physical geography, Permafrost and Geomorphology. His Glacier research incorporates elements of Elevation, Glacial period, Debris and Digital elevation model. Andreas Kääb has included themes like Image resolution and Terrain in his Remote sensing study.

His Physical geography study incorporates themes from Cryosphere and Natural hazard. His research on Permafrost also deals with topics like

  • Climate change that intertwine with fields like Sea level,
  • Climatology which connect with Arctic. The Glacier mass balance study combines topics in areas such as Glacier morphology, Surge and Tidewater glacier cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (54.90%)
  • Remote sensing (34.97%)
  • Physical geography (23.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Glacier (54.90%)
  • Physical geography (23.86%)
  • Remote sensing (34.97%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Physical geography, Remote sensing, Permafrost and Cryosphere. His Glacier study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Digital elevation model and Geodesy. His Physical geography study also includes fields such as

  • Precipitation that intertwine with fields like Thinning,
  • Landform which connect with Rock glacier and Terrain,
  • Plateau which is related to area like Orographic lift and Ridge.

His study in Remote sensing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Elevation and Ice field. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Elevation, Geomorphology is strongly linked to Tidewater glacier cycle. His Permafrost study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Snow, Earth observation and Northern Hemisphere.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A spatially resolved estimate of High Mountain Asia glacier mass balances from 2000 to 2016 (303 citations)
  • Northern Hemisphere permafrost map based on TTOP modelling for 2000–2016 at 1 km2 scale (87 citations)
  • Massive collapse of two glaciers in western Tibet in 2016 after surge-like instability (70 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Artificial intelligence

Andreas Kääb mainly focuses on Glacier, Remote sensing, Snow, Digital elevation model and Climatology. His Glacier study is related to the wider topic of Physical geography. His Physical geography study combines topics in areas such as Permafrost and Environmental change.

His studies deal with areas such as Optical flow and Terrain as well as Remote sensing. His Digital elevation model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Elevation and Precipitation. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tidewater, Climate change and Arctic.
