Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Oceanography

His primary scientific interests are in Altimeter, Geodesy, Remote sensing, Climatology and Gravitational field. C. K. Shum has researched Altimeter in several fields, including Hydrology, Water level, Geodetic datum and Sea level. His work carried out in the field of Geodesy brings together such families of science as Smoothing, Tide gauge and Filter.

His research integrates issues of Natural, Satellite, Orbit determination and Wetland in his study of Remote sensing. C. K. Shum combines subjects such as Drainage basin, Climate change, Precipitation and Ice sheet with his study of Climatology. His research in Gravitational field intersects with topics in Seismology, Gravimetry, Mantle and Geoid.

His most cited work include:

  • Antarctic Elevation Change from 1992 to 1996 (273 citations)
  • The Joint Gravity Model 3 (268 citations)
  • Accuracy assessment of recent ocean tide models (250 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geodesy, Altimeter, Remote sensing, Climatology and Gravitational field. The study incorporates disciplines such as Geophysics, Global Positioning System and Geoid in addition to Geodesy. His Altimeter study combines topics in areas such as Radar, Ocean surface topography and Sea level.

His work in Remote sensing addresses subjects such as Satellite, which are connected to disciplines such as Meteorology. His work is dedicated to discovering how Climatology, Climate change are connected with Glacier and other disciplines. His Gravitational field study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Gravity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (45.06%)
  • Altimeter (32.10%)
  • Remote sensing (28.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Geodesy (45.06%)
  • Climatology (21.60%)
  • Remote sensing (28.40%)

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

C. K. Shum mostly deals with Geodesy, Climatology, Remote sensing, Altimeter and Sea level. His Geodesy research integrates issues from Gravity, Gravitational field, Global Positioning System and Deformation. His work deals with themes such as Drainage basin and Climate change, which intersect with Climatology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global warming, Plateau and GNSS reflectometry. C. K. Shum has included themes like Elevation, Water level, Waveform, Water resources and Radar in his Altimeter study. His Sea level research incorporates themes from Sea level rise, Delta and Subsidence.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2): Science requirements, concept, and implementation (191 citations)
  • Global sea-level budget 1993 - present (185 citations)
  • Lake volume and groundwater storage variations in Tibetan Plateau's endorheic basin (134 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

C. K. Shum mainly investigates Climatology, Plateau, Climate change, Physical geography and Sea level. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Drainage basin, Altimeter and Precipitation. His Altimeter study results in a more complete grasp of Geodesy.

His studies deal with areas such as Permafrost, Tectonics, Block and Water cycle as well as Plateau. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global warming, Ice thickness, Remote sensing and East antarctica. His studies examine the connections between Sea level and genetics, as well as such issues in Delta, with regards to Oceanography.
