Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

Christian Birkel mainly focuses on Hydrology, Surface runoff, Precipitation, Drainage basin and Hydrograph. His study on Groundwater and Surface water is often connected to Riparian zone, Conceptual model and Water storage as part of broader study in Hydrology. Christian Birkel has included themes like Streamflow and Environmental resource management in his Surface runoff study.

His Precipitation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climatology, δ18O, Arid, Hydrology and Temporal scales. Christian Birkel works mostly in the field of Drainage basin, limiting it down to topics relating to Water resources and, in certain cases, Catchment hydrology, as a part of the same area of interest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Current, Field and Water cycle in addition to Hydrograph.

His most cited work include:

  • Storage dynamics in hydropedological units control hillslope connectivity, runoff generation, and the evolution of catchment transit time distributions. (163 citations)
  • Global rainfall erosivity assessment based on high-temporal resolution rainfall records (156 citations)
  • Temporal and spatial evaluation of satellite-based rainfall estimates across the complex topographical and climatic gradients of Chile (106 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrology, Drainage basin, Surface runoff, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation. His work in the fields of Streamflow, Groundwater and STREAMS overlaps with other areas such as TRACER and Riparian zone. Christian Birkel combines subjects such as Seasonality and Wet season with his study of Drainage basin.

His work on Hydrograph as part of general Surface runoff research is frequently linked to Saturation and Conceptual model, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study looks at the relationship between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Hydrology, which overlap with Arid. Christian Birkel works mostly in the field of Precipitation, limiting it down to concerns involving Climatology and, occasionally, Moisture and Water resources.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (77.90%)
  • Drainage basin (34.81%)
  • Surface runoff (28.18%)

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

  • Hydrology (77.90%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (26.52%)
  • Humid tropics (10.50%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Atmospheric sciences, Humid tropics, Drainage basin and Streamflow. His Groundwater and Wetland study in the realm of Hydrology interacts with subjects such as Fluvial. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Tropics and Transpiration.

His Drainage basin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tropical cyclone, Flood myth and Water table. While working in this field, he studies both Streamflow and TRACER. The Tropical rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Precipitation and Interception.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • RF-MEP: A novel random forest method for merging gridded precipitation products and ground-based measurements (18 citations)
  • RF-MEP: A novel random forest method for merging gridded precipitation products and ground-based measurements (18 citations)
  • Seasonal shift from biogenic to geogenic fluvial carbon caused by changing water sources in the wet-dry tropics (11 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

Christian Birkel mostly deals with Hydrology, Groundwater, Wetland, Fluvial and Drainage basin. Water table and Flood myth are the subjects of his Hydrology studies. Fluvial is connected with Stage, Dissolved organic carbon, Carbon, Carbonate and STREAMS in his study.

His biological study focuses on Streamflow.
