Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Hydrology, Precipitation, Streamflow and Surface runoff. His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Global warming, Climate change, Hydrology and Scale. His Snow research extends to the thematically linked field of Hydrology.

The concepts of his Precipitation study are interwoven with issues in Trend surface analysis, Storm and Water cycle. His studies in Streamflow integrate themes in fields like Meteorology, Climate model, Flood forecasting and Effects of global warming. His Surface runoff study combines topics in areas such as Infiltration, Land cover, Water balance, Evapotranspiration and Water content.

His most cited work include:

  • Stationarity Is Dead: Whither Water Management? (2736 citations)
  • Potential impacts of a warming climate on water availability in snow-dominated regions (2680 citations)
  • A simple hydrologically based model of land surface water and energy fluxes for general circulation models (2490 citations)

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

Dennis P. Lettenmaier spends much of his time researching Climatology, Hydrology, Precipitation, Streamflow and Surface runoff. His Climatology research incorporates elements of Climate change, Climate model, Snow, Meteorology and Water cycle. His research integrates issues of Environmental resource management and Water resources in his study of Climate change.

His studies in Precipitation integrate themes in fields like Atmospheric sciences, Forcing and Water content. His studies deal with areas such as Land cover, Structural basin and Forecast skill as well as Streamflow. The study incorporates disciplines such as Infiltration, Evapotranspiration and Hydrological modelling in addition to Surface runoff.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (34.69%)
  • Hydrology (28.36%)
  • Precipitation (20.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Climatology (34.69%)
  • Hydrology (14.93%)
  • Hydrology (28.36%)

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

Dennis P. Lettenmaier mostly deals with Climatology, Hydrology, Hydrology, Snow and Precipitation. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Permafrost, Climate change, Climate model and Arctic. Within one scientific family, Dennis P. Lettenmaier focuses on topics pertaining to Water cycle under Hydrology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Satellite.

His work deals with themes such as Physical geography and Hydrological modelling, which intersect with Snow. His Precipitation study improves the overall literature in Meteorology. His research in Streamflow focuses on subjects like Surface runoff, which are connected to Evapotranspiration and Water resources.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The SWOT Mission and Its Capabilities for Land Hydrology (186 citations)
  • Dramatic declines in snowpack in the western US (157 citations)
  • Inroads of remote sensing into hydrologic science during the WRR era (130 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

Dennis P. Lettenmaier mainly focuses on Climatology, Climate change, Precipitation, Hydrology and Streamflow. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Permafrost, Primary production, Climate model and Water cycle. His work on Global warming as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Period, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Precipitation research includes themes of Extreme events, Heat wave and Evapotranspiration. The Streamflow study combines topics in areas such as Forecast skill, Surface runoff and Land use, land-use change and forestry. Dennis P. Lettenmaier interconnects Hydrology and Water resources in the investigation of issues within Surface runoff.
