- On the value of soil moisture measurements in vadose zone hydrology: a review (450 citations)
- Soil and human security in the 21st century (433 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil water, Soil science, Hydrology, Water content and Vadose zone.
Jan W. Hopmans works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to topics relating to Mineralogy and, in certain cases, Porous medium.
The various areas that Jan W. Hopmans examines in his Soil science study include Infiltration, Scaling and Spatial variability.
Jan W. Hopmans combines topics linked to Calibration with his work on Water content.
In his work, Mechanics is strongly intertwined with Geotechnical engineering, which is a subfield of Hydraulic conductivity.
His work deals with themes such as Leaching model and Leaching, which intersect with Irrigation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Soil water (41.91%)
- Soil science (34.93%)
- Hydrology (30.88%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?
- Soil water (41.91%)
- Soil science (34.93%)
- Hydrology (30.88%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Jan W. Hopmans spends much of his time researching Soil water, Soil science, Hydrology, Irrigation and Hydrology.
The concepts of his Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Salinity, Porous medium and Water content.
His Soil science research integrates issues from Geotechnical engineering and Orchard.
His work on Evapotranspiration and Vadose zone as part of general Hydrology study is frequently connected to Tree and Scale, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
As part of one scientific family, Jan W. Hopmans deals mainly with the area of Irrigation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Leaching, and often Fertilizer, Agronomy and Groundwater.
His study in Hydrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Subsurface flow and Global change.
Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Soil and human security in the 21st century (433 citations)
- Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives (313 citations)
- Geophysical constraints on deep weathering and water storage potential in the Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory (110 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Statistics
- Ecology
Jan W. Hopmans mainly focuses on Soil water, Hydrology, Water content, Evapotranspiration and Soil science.
Jan W. Hopmans has included themes like Seismic refraction, Geophysics and Alternative stable state in his Soil water study.
His work in the fields of Hydrology, such as Consumptive water use and Irrigation management, intersects with other areas such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
His research integrates issues of Land use, Environmental change, Infiltration, DNS root zone and Vadose zone in his study of Water content.
His Evapotranspiration study also includes fields such as
- Surface runoff which intersects with area such as Hydrology, Spatial heterogeneity, Precipitation, Structural basin and Eddy covariance,
- Water cycle, Streamflow, Drainage basin and Water balance most often made with reference to Kings River.
His Soil science research incorporates elements of Climate change and Greenhouse gas.
