Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Remote sensing

Louis Giglio spends much of his time researching Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer, Climatology, Meteorology, Greenhouse gas and Remote sensing. Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer is closely attributed to Thematic Mapper in his study. Louis Giglio interconnects Primary production, Trace gas, Satellite and Fire ecology in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Boreal, Atmospheric sciences, Biogeochemical cycle, Peat and Carbon cycle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Emission inventory, Deforestation and Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer in addition to Peat. His study in the field of Active fire and Radiometry is also linked to topics like Algorithm, Data processing and Data quality.

His most cited work include:

  • Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009) (1861 citations)
  • Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009) (1861 citations)
  • Interannual variability in global biomass burning emissions from 1997 to 2004 (1343 citations)

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

His main research concerns Remote sensing, Climatology, Meteorology, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer and Satellite. Many of his research projects under Remote sensing are closely connected to Fire detection and Brightness temperature with Fire detection and Brightness temperature, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subtropics, Deforestation, Tropics, Atmospheric sciences and Aerosol.

In his research on the topic of Deforestation, Greenhouse gas is strongly related with Peat. His work on Biomass burning is typically connected to Radiative transfer, Algorithm and Image resolution as part of general Meteorology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Boreal, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Satellite imagery and Fire regime, Vegetation in his study of Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (33.13%)
  • Climatology (30.72%)
  • Meteorology (25.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Remote sensing (33.13%)
  • Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (24.70%)
  • Satellite (21.69%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer, Satellite, Meteorology and Global change. His research integrates issues of Scale, Common spatial pattern, Nadir and Scale in his study of Remote sensing. His Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Physical geography and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite.

His study on Satellite also encompasses disciplines like

  • Remote sensing, which have a strong connection to Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer and Polar orbit,
  • Climate change together with Land use, land-use change and forestry, Amazon rainforest and Greenhouse gas. In his study, Anomaly is strongly linked to Geostationary orbit, which falls under the umbrella field of Meteorology. His work in Boreal covers topics such as Earth system science which are related to areas like Climatology and Biome.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Collection 6 MODIS burned area mapping algorithm and product (172 citations)
  • Historical background and current developments for mapping burned area from satellite Earth observation (84 citations)
  • The Global Fire Atlas of individual fire size, duration, speed and direction (66 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing
  • Ecosystem

Remote sensing, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer, Boreal, Physical geography and Biome are his primary areas of study. His Remote sensing research incorporates elements of Spatial ecology, Scale, Common spatial pattern and Nadir. His Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Precipitation, Vegetation and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Active fire and Boreal. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Temperate forest and Scale. His Biome research includes themes of Arid, Radiative forcing, Earth system science and Biogeochemical cycle.
