Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Irrigation
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Water resources, Agriculture, Water use, Food security and Water resource management. His research in Water resources intersects with topics in Natural resource economics and Resource. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agroforestry and Irrigation.

His Water use study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Productivity and Agricultural development. His Food security study which covers Water supply that intersects with Water balance and Irrigation management. His Water resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virtual water and Evapotranspiration.

His most cited work include:

  • Water for Food Water for Life : A Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture (1217 citations)
  • Water Productivity in Agriculture: Limits and Opportunities for Improvement (461 citations)
  • Radically rethinking agriculture for the 21st century. (459 citations)

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

David Molden focuses on Water resource management, Irrigation, Water resources, Agriculture and Environmental planning. The concepts of his Water resource management study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin, Drainage basin, International waters, Water conservation and Irrigation management. His Irrigation research incorporates elements of Water balance and Drainage.

His research investigates the connection between Water resources and topics such as Water use that intersect with problems in Agroforestry. David Molden works mostly in the field of Agriculture, limiting it down to topics relating to Productivity and, in certain cases, Agricultural productivity, as a part of the same area of interest. David Molden works mostly in the field of Environmental planning, limiting it down to topics relating to Sustainable development and, in certain cases, Economic growth.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Water resource management (33.06%)
  • Irrigation (25.81%)
  • Water resources (24.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Environmental planning (19.76%)
  • Water resource management (33.06%)
  • Sustainable development (6.45%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental planning, Water resource management, Sustainable development, Water resources and Focus. His Environmental planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climate change and Corporate governance. His Water resource management study combines topics in areas such as Drainage basin, Agriculture and Water conservation.

His Agriculture research incorporates themes from International waters and Water-use efficiency. His study in Water conservation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water quality and Water balance. In the subject of general Water resources, his work in Integrated water resources management is often linked to Water storage, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The unfolding water drama in the Anthropocene: towards a resilience-based perspective on water for global sustainability (110 citations)
  • Water Accounting Plus (WA+) - a water accounting procedure for complex river basins based on satellite measurements (69 citations)
  • Reducing carbon emissions through improved irrigation and groundwater management: A case study from Iran (59 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Irrigation

His main research concerns Water resources, Water resource management, Water conservation, Hindu kush and Environmental resource management. His work in the fields of Water resources, such as Integrated water resources management, overlaps with other areas such as Water storage. David Molden has researched Water resource management in several fields, including Drainage basin and Agriculture.

His work deals with themes such as Water quality and Water balance, which intersect with Water conservation. His studies in Water quality integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry, Environmental engineering, Water use, Agricultural productivity and Natural resource economics. David Molden interconnects Water security and Ecosystem services in the investigation of issues within Environmental resource management.
