Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Climate change
  • China

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental planning, Climatology, Natural hazard, Hydrology and Environmental resource management. Donald A. Wilhite integrates many fields in his works, including Environmental planning, Preparedness and Crisis management. His work deals with themes such as Index, Flood myth, Climate change and Precipitation, which intersect with Climatology.

His research in Natural hazard intersects with topics in Water scarcity, Irrigation, Water resource management, Land use and Environmental protection. His research investigates the connection between Hydrology and topics such as Precipitation index that intersect with issues in Scale. His Environmental resource management research integrates issues from Natural and Adaptation strategies.

His most cited work include:

  • Understanding: the Drought Phenomenon: The Role of Definitions (1452 citations)
  • Monitoring the 1996 Drought Using the Standardized Precipitation Index (748 citations)
  • Drought as a natural hazard : Concepts and definitions (512 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Agriculture, Preparedness and Climatology. His Environmental planning study incorporates themes from Environmental protection and Natural hazard. His Environmental protection research incorporates themes from Development economics and Water scarcity.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Growing season, Agronomy, Crop and Hydrology, Water resources in addition to Agriculture. He works on Hydrology which deals in particular with Water content. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climate change and Index, Meteorology, Precipitation, Precipitation index.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental planning (34.64%)
  • Environmental resource management (30.07%)
  • Agriculture (18.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Environmental resource management (30.07%)
  • Environmental planning (34.64%)
  • Climate change (8.50%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Climate change, Drought risk and Climatology. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Process management, Agriculture, Compendium and Natural hazard. His study in Environmental planning is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Integrated water resources management and Civil engineering.

He combines subjects such as Natural resource economics, Evapotranspiration and Environmental protection with his study of Climate change. His studies in Drought risk integrate themes in fields like Agroforestry and Water resource management. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Arctic climate, Weather patterns, Meteorology and Future climate.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Managing drought risk in a changing climate: The role of national drought policy (247 citations)
  • Drought as Hazard: Understanding the Natural and Social Context* (118 citations)
  • Drought hazard assessment in the context of climate change for South Korea (100 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Climate change
  • China

Donald A. Wilhite spends much of his time researching Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Climate change, Drought risk and Hazard. Environmental planning combines with fields such as Action and Policy guidelines in his investigation. His Environmental resource management research includes elements of Order and Climatic variability.

His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Climatology and Physical geography. His research integrates issues of Hydric soil and Water scarcity, Water resources in his study of Climatology. His study connects Agroforestry and Drought risk.
