Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Flood myth

Bruno Merz focuses on Flood myth, Risk assessment, Flooding, Flood loss and Hydrology. Bruno Merz undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Flood myth and Estimation in his work. His study in the fields of Flood risk assessment under the domain of Risk assessment overlaps with other disciplines such as Hazard.

As a part of the same scientific family, Bruno Merz mostly works in the field of Flooding, focusing on Physical geography and, on occasion, Seasonality, Snowmelt, Spring and Least squares. His Flood loss research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Socioeconomics and River elbe. He studies Water resources which is a part of Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Review article "Assessment of economic flood damage" (655 citations)
  • Flood risk assessment and associated uncertainty (331 citations)
  • Estimation uncertainty of direct monetary flood damage to buildings (318 citations)

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

Bruno Merz mostly deals with Flood myth, Hydrology, Climatology, Drainage basin and Precipitation. His work in the fields of Flood myth, such as Flood risk assessment, intersects with other areas such as Estimation. His study on Floodplain, Surface runoff, Hydrology and 100-year flood is often connected to Dike as part of broader study in Hydrology.

His Climatology research integrates issues from Streamflow, Climate model and Downscaling. His studies in Drainage basin integrate themes in fields like Tributary and Scale. His Precipitation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as North Atlantic oscillation and Seasonality.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Flood myth (51.53%)
  • Hydrology (25.42%)
  • Climatology (18.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Flood myth (51.53%)
  • Climatology (18.98%)
  • Hydrology (25.42%)

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

Flood myth, Climatology, Hydrology, Precipitation and Environmental resource management are his primary areas of study. While working in this field, Bruno Merz studies both Flood myth and Estimation. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Scale, Streamflow, Teleconnection and Extreme weather.

In his study, Flood hazard, River flood, Sea level rise, Elevation and Winter storm is inextricably linked to Storm surge, which falls within the broad field of Hydrology. His Precipitation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both North Atlantic oscillation, Ranking and Gumbel distribution. His Environmental resource management research incorporates elements of Climate change impact assessment and Resilience.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changing climate both increases and decreases European river floods (189 citations)
  • Climate influences on flood probabilities across Europe (20 citations)
  • Causative classification of river flood events. (19 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Flood myth, Climatology, Estimation, Flooding and Precipitation. Bruno Merz does research in Flood myth, focusing on Flood risk management specifically. His studies deal with areas such as Probabilistic logic, Pluvial flooding and Teleconnection as well as Climatology.

His Flooding study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seasonality and Snowmelt. Bruno Merz works mostly in the field of Precipitation, limiting it down to concerns involving North Atlantic oscillation and, occasionally, Extreme value theory, Generalized extreme value distribution and Streamflow. His work carried out in the field of Hydrology brings together such families of science as Elevation, Winter storm, Fluvial and Storm surge.
