Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

Glacier, Climatology, Ice field, Physical geography and Precipitation are his primary areas of study. His study in the field of Glacier mass balance also crosses realms of Distribution. His Glacier mass balance study also includes

  • Glacier morphology, which have a strong connection to Ice sheet,
  • Tidewater glacier cycle that intertwine with fields like Tropics, Holocene and Extratropical cyclone.

His Climatology research incorporates themes from Snow and Paleoclimatology. Andrés Rivera combines subjects such as Air pollution, Meteorology, Sea ice thickness and Land use with his study of Physical geography. His Thinning research includes themes of Sea level and Digital elevation model.

His most cited work include:

  • Bedmap2: improved ice bed, surface and thickness datasets for Antarctica (1099 citations)
  • Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia (709 citations)
  • Accelerated ice discharge from the Antarctic Peninsula following the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf (497 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Geomorphology, Glacier mass balance and Ice field. His Glacier research includes elements of Climatology, Glacier morphology, Climate change, Snow and Tidewater glacier cycle. While the research belongs to areas of Climatology, Andrés Rivera spends his time largely on the problem of Precipitation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Sea level.

His study looks at the intersection of Glacier morphology and topics like Ice sheet with Cryosphere, Antarctic ice sheet, Ice shelf and Sea ice. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Volcano, Period and Meteorology, Satellite imagery. Andrés Rivera interconnects Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, Remote sensing, Digital elevation model and Thinning in the investigation of issues within Ice field.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (95.90%)
  • Physical geography (45.64%)
  • Geomorphology (28.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Glacier (95.90%)
  • Physical geography (45.64%)
  • Environmental science (18.46%)

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

His main research concerns Glacier, Physical geography, Environmental science, Ice field and Volcano. Andrés Rivera has included themes like Ice shelf, Climate change and Crevasse in his Glacier study. His work on Glacier mass balance is typically connected to Fluvial system as part of general Physical geography study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Glacier mass balance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glacial lake, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Precipitation. His research in Ice field intersects with topics in Ice dynamics, Atmospheric sciences, Lapse rate and Tidewater glacier cycle. His Cryosphere study incorporates themes from Drainage basin, Permafrost, Rock glacier, Extratropical cyclone and Landform.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Early Last Interglacial ocean warming drove substantial ice mass loss from Antarctica (12 citations)
  • A review of the current state and recent changes of the Andean cryosphere (11 citations)
  • A review of the current state and recent changes of the Andean cryosphere (11 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Glacier
  • Climate change

Andrés Rivera mostly deals with Glacier, Environmental science, Physical geography, Oceanography and Elevation. Andrés Rivera incorporates Glacier and Shrinkage rate in his research. Extratropical cyclone, Carbon sequestration, Antarctic Cold Reversal, Sea ice and Rock glacier are fields of study that intersect with his Environmental science research.

His Physical geography research incorporates elements of Volcano, Period and Satellite imagery. His work on Antarctic sea ice, Ice core, Carbon sink and Deglaciation as part of general Oceanography research is often related to Carbon cycle, thus linking different fields of science. The concepts of his Elevation study are interwoven with issues in Ice thickness and Geomorphology.
