Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Climate change
Agriculture
Irrigation

Global warming, Water resources, Climate change, Climatology and Hydrology are his primary areas of study. Dominik Wisser has researched Global warming in several fields, including Representative Concentration Pathways and Water supply. The Consumptive water use research Dominik Wisser does as part of his general Water resources study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Groundwater resources and Supply and demand, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Water cycle research extends to the thematically linked field of Climatology. His work in Water cycle covers topics such as Water conservation which are related to areas like Water resource management. His studies deal with areas such as Drainage basin, Water balance and Precipitation as well as Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

High‐resolution mapping of the world's reservoirs and dams for sustainable river‐flow management (842 citations)
Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (830 citations)
Global water resources affected by human interventions and climate change (544 citations)

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

Dominik Wisser mostly deals with Climate change, Climatology, Hydrology, Irrigation and Water resources. Global warming and Climate change mitigation are the primary areas of interest in his Climate change study. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate model, Precipitation, Crop production, Streamflow and Water cycle.

As a part of the same scientific family, Dominik Wisser mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Water resource management and, on occasion, Water scarcity and Water conservation. Dominik Wisser has researched Irrigation in several fields, including Agriculture, Water use, Hydrology and Surface water. His work carried out in the field of Water resources brings together such families of science as Remote sensing and Global hydrology.

He most often published in these fields:

Climate change (45.33%)
Climatology (40.00%)
Hydrology (34.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2018)?

Climate change (45.33%)
Food security (10.67%)
Water resources (30.67%)

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

Dominik Wisser focuses on Climate change, Food security, Water resources, Hydrology and Global warming. The various areas that he examines in his Climate change study include Surface runoff and Yield. Dominik Wisser interconnects Cropping, Sorghum, DSSAT, Crop yield and Global temperature in the investigation of issues within Food security.

His Water resources research also works with subjects such as

Farm water, Water resource management, Water conservation, Irrigation statistics and Meteorology most often made with reference to Groundwater,
Surface water, which have a strong connection to Water use. His study in the field of Irrigation and Drainage basin also crosses realms of Meltwater. The Global warming study combines topics in areas such as Climate change mitigation, Conference of the parties, Greenhouse gas and Natural resource economics.

Between 2015 and 2018, his most popular works were:

PCR-GLOBWB 2: a 5 arcmin global hydrological and water resources model (108 citations)
Projected robust shift of climate zones over West Africa in response to anthropogenic climate change for the late 21st century (48 citations)
Impacts of 1.5 versus 2.0 °C on cereal yields in the West African Sudan Savanna (31 citations)
