Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Global warming
  • Hydrology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Glacier, Physical geography, Climatology, Glacier mass balance and Ice stream. His Glacier research includes elements of Hydrology, Surface runoff, Geodetic datum and Ice sheet. His Surface runoff research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period and Streamflow.

His research in Physical geography focuses on subjects like Ice thickness, which are connected to Freshwater resources and Ice caps. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Global warming and Snow. Glacier mass balance is a subfield of Geomorphology that Matthias Huss studies.

His most cited work include:

  • Density assumptions for converting geodetic glacier volume change to mass change (288 citations)
  • Modelling runoff from highly glacierized alpine drainage basins in a changing climate (268 citations)
  • Global-scale hydrological response to future glacier mass loss (252 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Physical geography, Glacier mass balance, Climatology and Snow. His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology, Surface runoff, Atmospheric sciences and Ice stream as well as Glacier. The Physical geography study combines topics in areas such as Global warming, Glacial period, Sea level rise and Water resources.

His Glacier mass balance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geodetic datum, Meltwater, Meteorology, Accumulation zone and Digital elevation model. His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sea level and Scale. His study in Snow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cryosphere, Precipitation and Albedo.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (144.26%)
  • Physical geography (72.83%)
  • Glacier mass balance (40.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Glacier (144.26%)
  • Physical geography (72.83%)
  • Climatology (31.65%)

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

His primary areas of study are Glacier, Physical geography, Climatology, Sea level rise and Precipitation. In the subject of general Glacier, his work in Glacier mass balance is often linked to Flux, thereby combining diverse domains of study. In his research, Structural basin, Drainage basin and Streamflow is intimately related to Meltwater, which falls under the overarching field of Glacier mass balance.

He has included themes like Glacial period, Elevation, Glacier melt, Radiative forcing and Water resources in his Physical geography study. His Climatology study typically links adjacent topics like Sea level. The concepts of his Snow study are interwoven with issues in Multi sensor, Data products and Data set.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Direct observations of a three million cubic meter rock-slope collapse with almost immediate initiation of ensuing debris flows (29 citations)
  • Direct observations of a three million cubic meter rock-slope collapse with almost immediate initiation of ensuing debris flows (29 citations)
  • On the Imbalance and Response Time of Glaciers in the European Alps (13 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Global warming
  • Hydrology

Matthias Huss mainly focuses on Glacier, Physical geography, Sea level rise, Agriculture and Climatology. Matthias Huss integrates Glacier with Impact loading in his research. His work in the fields of Physical geography, such as Meltwater and Glacier mass balance, overlaps with other areas such as Limiting.

His studies in Meltwater integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Drainage basin, Streamflow, Precipitation and Surface runoff. His research in Glacier mass balance intersects with topics in Ocean heat content and Ocean acidification. His work deals with themes such as Sea level and Ice caps, which intersect with Climatology.
