What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Meteorology
- Biodiversity
- Hydrology
Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Monsoon, Water cycle and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index are his primary areas of study.
Surface runoff and Evapotranspiration are the primary areas of interest in his Hydrology study.
He focuses mostly in the field of Surface runoff, narrowing it down to matters related to Surface water and, in some cases, Soil texture.
Laurent Kergoat performs integrative study on Monsoon and Wet season in his works.
His work deals with themes such as Humidity, Atmosphere, Diurnal cycle and Relative humidity, which intersect with Water cycle.
He combines subjects such as Primary production, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer and Land degradation with his study of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
His most cited work include:
- Analysis of the in situ and MODIS albedo variability at multiple timescales in the Sahel (85 citations)
- The impact of snow depth and snowmelt on the vegetation variability over central Siberia (78 citations)
- Rainfall regime across the Sahel band in the Gourma region, Mali (70 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Laurent Kergoat mainly focuses on Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Remote sensing, Hydrology and Surface runoff.
Monsoon is the focus of his Climatology research.
His Atmospheric sciences research integrates issues from Meteorology, Precipitation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Mean radiant temperature.
In the field of Remote sensing, his study on Remote sensing overlaps with subjects such as Coupling.
His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Primary production, Rangeland and Sensible heat.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Land cover, Soil water, Physical geography and Water resources in addition to Surface runoff.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (18.87%)
- Atmospheric sciences (18.87%)
- Remote sensing (16.98%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agroforestry, Precipitation, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem services and Water resource management.
His Agroforestry research incorporates themes from Biomass, Carbon sink and Land management.
Laurent Kergoat has included themes like Primary production, Wind speed, Erosion and Surface water in his Precipitation study.
Laurent Kergoat interconnects Soil texture and Grazing pressure in the investigation of issues within Erosion.
His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sink, Numerical weather prediction, Mean radiant temperature, Mesoscale meteorology and Plant functional type.
His research integrates issues of Watershed, Phenology and Basal area in his study of Ecosystem services.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- "Reduction of tree cover in West African woodlands and promotion in semi-arid farmlands". (43 citations)
- Evolution of Surface Hydrology in the Sahelo-Sudanian Strip: An Updated Review (28 citations)
- AMMA‐CATCH, a Critical Zone Observatory in West Africa Monitoring a Region in Transition (27 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Meteorology
- Biodiversity
- Global warming
Laurent Kergoat focuses on Surface runoff, Physical geography, Distribution, Effects of global warming and Ecosystem ecology.
The Surface runoff study combines topics in areas such as Soil retrogression and degradation, Climatology, Alternative stable state and Regime shift.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Land cover, Monsoon and Water cycle.
Distribution is connected with Herbivore and Herbaceous plant in his research.
