Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Epistemology

Menas Kafatos mainly investigates Climatology, Aerosol, Astrophysics, Meteorology and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His work on Troposphere is typically connected to Biogeochemical cycle as part of general Climatology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Aerosol research includes themes of Atmospheric sciences and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.

His work focuses on many connections between Astrophysics and other disciplines, such as Astronomy, that overlap with his field of interest in Gamma-ray astronomy. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trend surface analysis, Climate change and Satellite. His work on Vegetation Index as part of general Normalized Difference Vegetation Index research is frequently linked to Vegetation, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Crop yield estimation model for Iowa using remote sensing and surface parameters (281 citations)
  • The Conscious Universe (204 citations)
  • Outgoing long wave radiation variability from IR satellite data prior to major earthquakes (157 citations)

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