2003 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Hydrology, Surface runoff, Drainage basin, Water balance and Evapotranspiration. His research on Hydrology often connects related areas such as Atmospheric sciences. His Surface runoff study incorporates themes from Infiltration, Storm, Flood myth and Spatial variability.

As a part of the same scientific family, Murugesu Sivapalan mostly works in the field of Flood myth, focusing on Climatology and, on occasion, Precipitation. His studies deal with areas such as Watershed management, Biogeochemistry and Hydrological modelling as well as Drainage basin. The concepts of his Water balance study are interwoven with issues in Calibration, Soil water and Vegetation.

His most cited work include:

  • Scale issues in hydrological modelling: A review (1224 citations)
  • IAHS Decade on Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB), 2003–2012: Shaping an exciting future for the hydrological sciences (808 citations)
  • Effects of spatial variability and scale with implications to hydrologic modeling (563 citations)

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

Murugesu Sivapalan focuses on Hydrology, Surface runoff, Drainage basin, Water balance and Hydrology. The Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Soil science, Soil water and Vegetation. His work in Surface runoff addresses issues such as Flood myth, which are connected to fields such as Climatology.

His Drainage basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Watershed, Seasonality and Hydrological modelling. His Water balance study also includes

  • Evapotranspiration together with Ecohydrology,
  • Groundwater which is related to area like STREAMS. His Hydrology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Water resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (66.89%)
  • Surface runoff (36.87%)
  • Drainage basin (26.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Socio-hydrology (9.05%)
  • Hydrology (66.89%)
  • Hydrology (15.01%)

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

Murugesu Sivapalan mainly investigates Socio-hydrology, Hydrology, Hydrology, Drainage basin and Water resource management. His Socio-hydrology research incorporates themes from Arid, Resource, Sustainability and Environmental planning. His work in the fields of Hydrology, such as Water balance, Flood myth and Watershed, overlaps with other areas such as Delta.

His study in Water balance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Precipitation and Water content. His studies examine the connections between Hydrology and genetics, as well as such issues in Environmental change, with regards to Environmental resource management. His Drainage basin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin and Agriculture.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH)–a community perspective (144 citations)
  • Human–water interface in hydrological modelling : current status and future directions (82 citations)
  • A Dynamic Framework for Water Security (67 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Agriculture

Murugesu Sivapalan mainly focuses on Socio-hydrology, Hydrology, Water resources, Context and Water cycle. Murugesu Sivapalan combines subjects such as Drainage basin, Agriculture and Water balance with his study of Socio-hydrology. His research on Water balance also deals with topics like

  • Climatology and related Precipitation and Groundwater,
  • Resource and related Environmental resource management, Water security and Environmental economics.

His studies deal with areas such as Public consultation and Soil water as well as Hydrology. Murugesu Sivapalan has researched Water resources in several fields, including Generalization, Predictive power, Generalizability theory and System dynamics. His study explores the link between Water cycle and topics such as Surface water that cross with problems in Water scarcity, Water resource management, Water use, Hydrology and Hydrological modelling.
