Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Agriculture

Christian Huggel spends much of his time researching Glacier, Physical geography, Climate change, Permafrost and Debris. Christian Huggel works mostly in the field of Glacier, limiting it down to topics relating to Glacial period and, in certain cases, Satellite imagery, as a part of the same area of interest. His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology, Flow routing, Natural hazard, Global warming and Hydropower as well as Physical geography.

His research investigates the connection between Hydropower and topics such as Seasonality that intersect with issues in Surface runoff. The various areas that Christian Huggel examines in his Climate change study include Climatology, Accumulation zone and Water resources. His Permafrost research incorporates elements of Landslide, Rockfall and Snow, Firn, Meteorology.

His most cited work include:

  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • Changes in climate extremes and their impacts on the natural physical environment (1015 citations)

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

His main research concerns Glacier, Physical geography, Climate change, Hydrology and Environmental resource management. His Glacier research includes elements of Landslide, Permafrost, Glacial period and Debris. The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Cryosphere and Current.

His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Climatology, Precipitation and Water resources. His study looks at the intersection of Hydrology and topics like Hazard with Remote sensing, Remote sensing, Natural hazard and Flood myth. His Environmental resource management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Risk management and Vulnerability.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (44.25%)
  • Physical geography (30.97%)
  • Climate change (28.91%)

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

  • Physical geography (30.97%)
  • Climate change (28.91%)
  • Glacier (44.25%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Climate change, Glacier, Environmental resource management and Glacial period. He combines topics linked to Structural basin with his work on Physical geography. In general Climate change, his work in Global and Planetary Change is often linked to Government linking many areas of study.

His study in the field of Glacial lake is also linked to topics like Context. His research integrates issues of Global warming, Flood myth and Greenhouse gas in his study of Environmental resource management. His Glacial period research incorporates themes from Landslide, Shear stress and Natural hazard.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Science for loss and damage. Findings and propositions (29 citations)
  • Attribution: How Is It Relevant for Loss and Damage Policy and Practice? (23 citations)
  • Managing risks and future options from new lakes in the deglaciating Andes of Peru: The example of the Vilcanota-Urubamba basin. (20 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Agriculture

Christian Huggel mainly focuses on Climate change, Glacier, Physical geography, Loss and damage and Global and Planetary Change. His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Biota, Ecosystem, High mountain and Wetland. His work deals with themes such as Water resources, Biodiversity, Water supply, Massif and Hydropower, which intersect with Glacier.

His study in Physical geography focuses on Glacial lake in particular. As a part of the same scientific study, Christian Huggel usually deals with the Glacial lake, concentrating on Current and frequently concerns with Landslide. The Global and Planetary Change study which covers Cryosphere that intersects with Nature Conservation, Natural resource, Livelihood and Permafrost.
