Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

Hydrology, Surface runoff, Drainage basin, Sensible heat and Climatology are his primary areas of study. His study in Wetland and Water balance are all subfields of Hydrology. His work carried out in the field of Surface runoff brings together such families of science as Bedrock and Water budget.

His Bedrock research includes elements of Structural basin and Streamflow. Christopher Spence interconnects Climate change, Ecosystem, Biogeochemical cycle and Environmental resource management in the investigation of issues within Drainage basin. His Sensible heat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Latent heat, Evaporation and Eddy covariance.

His most cited work include:

  • Hydrology of subarctic Canadian shield: soil-filled valleys (168 citations)
  • Eddy covariance measurements of evaporation from Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada (138 citations)
  • The Role of Northern Lakes in a Regional Energy Balance (111 citations)

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

His main research concerns Hydrology, Surface runoff, Streamflow, Drainage basin and Hydrology. His Hydrology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Subarctic climate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water and Hydrological modelling in addition to Surface runoff.

His study in Streamflow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural basin, Pluvial, Permafrost, Precipitation and Bedrock. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Precipitation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Climatology, and often Latent heat and Lake-effect snow. His biological study deals with issues like Drainage, which deal with fields such as Trend analysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (59.09%)
  • Surface runoff (40.91%)
  • Streamflow (28.18%)

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

  • Hydrology (59.09%)
  • Subarctic climate (16.36%)
  • Surface runoff (40.91%)

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

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Subarctic climate, Surface runoff, Snow and Watershed. The study of Hydrology is intertwined with the study of Vegetation in a number of ways. The concepts of his Subarctic climate study are interwoven with issues in Diatom, Permafrost and Sedimentary depositional environment.

His studies in Surface runoff integrate themes in fields like Precipitation and Water resource management. His study in the fields of Meltwater under the domain of Snow overlaps with other disciplines such as Observatory. His work focuses on many connections between Streamflow and other disciplines, such as Hydrology, that overlap with his field of interest in Nutrient.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate-phenology-hydrology interactions in northern high latitudes: Assessing the value of remote sensing data in catchment ecohydrological studies (10 citations)
  • Fluvial CO2 and CH4 patterns across wildfire-disturbed ecozones of subarctic Canada: Current status and implications for future change. (8 citations)
  • Comparison of event‐specific rainfall–runoff responses and their controls in contrasting geographic areas (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental resource management, Land cover, Hydrology, Physical geography and Precipitation. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Watershed, Water security and Sustainable water management. His Land cover research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arid, Natural resource, Climate change and Wetland.

His Hydrology study is concerned with the field of Hydrology as a whole. His work deals with themes such as Boreal, Fluvial, Multivariate statistics, Evapotranspiration and Surface runoff, which intersect with Physical geography. The various areas that Christopher Spence examines in his Precipitation study include Univariate, Phenology and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
