Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Hydrology
  • Ecology
  • Drainage basin

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Drainage basin, Water resources, Resource and Surface runoff. His studies in Hydrology integrate themes in fields like Arid and Climate change. His Water resources research includes elements of Satellite rainfall, Precipitation and Estimation.

His research integrates issues of Agriculture, Natural flow and Land use in his study of Resource. His studies deal with areas such as Structural basin, Discharge, Baseflow and Tributary as well as Surface runoff. His study on Flow duration curve is often connected to Current and Water flow as part of broader study in Streamflow.

His most cited work include:

  • A decade of Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB)—a review (519 citations)
  • “Panta Rhei—Everything Flows”: Change in hydrology and society—The IAHS Scientific Decade 2013–2022 (414 citations)
  • A desktop model used to provide an initial estimate of the ecological instream flow requirements of rivers in South Africa (147 citations)

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

His main research concerns Hydrology, Water resources, Drainage basin, Surface runoff and Hydrological modelling. Streamflow, Hydrology, Groundwater recharge, Catchment hydrology and Baseflow are the subjects of his Hydrology studies. His Water resources research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Resource, Climate change, Environmental planning and Water resource management.

The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Climatology and Precipitation. His study in Drainage basin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Structural basin, Water use, STREAMS, Water quality and Estimation. His work on Hydrograph as part of general Surface runoff research is frequently linked to Spatial variability, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (54.88%)
  • Water resources (37.80%)
  • Drainage basin (31.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Drainage basin (31.71%)
  • Hydrology (54.88%)
  • Water resources (37.80%)

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

His primary areas of study are Drainage basin, Hydrology, Water resources, Surface runoff and Structural basin. His Drainage basin study combines topics in areas such as Sediment, Water use, Estimation and Spring. His research brings together the fields of Precipitation and Hydrology.

His Water resources research includes themes of Environmental planning, Hydrological modelling and Water resource management. His Surface runoff study incorporates themes from Soil science, Streamflow, Physical geography and Aridity index. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Structural basin, focusing on Groundwater recharge and, on occasion, Equifinality and Identification.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Application of satellite-derived rainfall estimates to extend water resource simulation modelling in South Africa (55 citations)
  • Towards revised physically based parameter estimation methods for the Pitman monthly rainfall-runoff model (36 citations)
  • First steps in the development of a water temperature model framework for refining the ecological Reserve in South African rivers (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrological modelling, Water resources, Surface runoff, Hydrology and Drainage basin. His Hydrological modelling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil science and Environmental planning. In his research, Water content, Infiltration and Groundwater recharge is intimately related to Structural basin, which falls under the overarching field of Water resources.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Streamflow, Evapotranspiration, Aridity index and Hydrology. His research on Hydrology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Climatology. Drainage basin and Physical geography are frequently intertwined in his study.
