Overview

Hugo Beltrami is affiliated with St. Francis Xavier University in Canada. Their research primarily spans Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a strong focus on Atmospheric Science and Global and Planetary Change. This expertise is reflected in a substantial body of work covering topics related to climate and environmental dynamics.

The scientist's main research themes include:

  • Climate variability and models
  • Climate change and permafrost
  • Cryospheric studies and observations
  • Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics
  • Geology and Paleoclimatology Research
  • Geothermal Energy Systems and Applications
  • CO2 Sequestration and Geologic Interactions

Several recent publications illustrate the scope and focus of Beltrami's scientific output. Notable papers include:

  • Heat stored in the Earth system: where does the energy go? (2020), published in Earth system science data
  • Heat stored in the Earth system 1960-2020: where does the energy go? (2023), published in Earth system science data
  • Lower boundary conditions in land surface models - effects on the permafrost and the carbon pools: a case study with CLM4.5 (2020), published in Geoscientific model development
  • Long-term global ground heat flux and continental heat storage from geothermal data (2021), published in Climate of the past
  • First assessment of the earth heat inventory within CMIP5 historical simulations (2021), published in Earth System Dynamics

Beltrami frequently collaborates with other researchers in related fields. Prominent co-authors include Francisco José Cuesta-Valero, Almudena García-García, J. Fidel González-Rouco, Elena García-Bustamante, and Joel Finnis. These collaborations contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of the work, addressing complex climate and environmental processes from multiple perspectives.

Published work is often featured in established venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Geoscientific model development, Earth System Dynamics, Earth system science data, and Climate of the past. This distribution of publication outlets reflects an engagement with both data repositories and peer-reviewed journals within the environmental and earth sciences domains.
