Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing

Glacier, Remote sensing, Climate change, Digital elevation model and Physical geography are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Glacier brings together such families of science as Climatology, Debris, Elevation and Remote sensing, Thematic Mapper. The various areas that Frank Paul examines in his Remote sensing study include National Snow and Ice Data Center and Terrain.

His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Altimeter and Ice sheet. His research in Digital elevation model intersects with topics in Satellite imagery and Geomorphology. His study on Glacial lake outburst flood is often connected to Mass gain as part of broader study in Physical geography.

His most cited work include:

  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • A Reconciled Estimate of Glacier Contributions to Sea Level Rise: 2003 to 2009 (775 citations)
  • The Randolph Glacier inventory: a globally complete inventory of glaciers (555 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Glacier mass balance, Remote sensing and Climatology. The concepts of his Glacier study are interwoven with issues in Elevation, Glacier morphology, Remote sensing, Climate change and Digital elevation model. His Physical geography research incorporates elements of Snow, Sea level rise and Satellite data.

His Glacier mass balance study incorporates themes from Hydrology, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation and Tidewater glacier cycle. His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Debris and Terrain. His study on Climatology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Ice sheet, which have a strong connection to Future sea level,
  • Climate model which connect with Meteorology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (85.57%)
  • Physical geography (44.78%)
  • Glacier mass balance (22.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Glacier (85.57%)
  • Physical geography (44.78%)
  • Climate change (15.42%)

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

Frank Paul mostly deals with Glacier, Physical geography, Climate change, Sea level rise and Ice sheet. To a larger extent, Frank Paul studies Geomorphology with the aim of understanding Glacier. Frank Paul combines subjects such as Elevation, Satellite imagery and Digital elevation model with his study of Physical geography.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Earth system science and Glacier mass balance in addition to Climate change. His Glacier mass balance research integrates issues from Global temperature and Vulnerability index. His Ice sheet research includes themes of Satellite remote sensing and Remote sensing.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global glacier mass changes and their contributions to sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016 (192 citations)
  • Repeat glacier collapses and surges in the Amney Machen mountain range, Tibet, possibly triggered by a developing rock-slope instability (12 citations)
  • Observational Requirements for Long-Term Monitoring of the Global Mean Sea Level and Its Components Over the Altimetry Era (9 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Remote sensing

His primary areas of study are Glacier, Physical geography, Digital elevation model, Band ratio and Satellite imagery. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Satellite data, Elevation, Cirque glacier, Surge and Ice sheet. His Elevation study incorporates themes from Remote sensing, Debris and Tributary.

The various areas that Frank Paul examines in his Ice sheet study include Argo, Climate change, Sea level, Future sea level and Altimeter. His research integrates issues of Geodetic datum and Thinning in his study of Climate change. His study in Satellite imagery is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Snow, Snow line, Snow cover and Altitude.
