Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • China

His primary areas of investigation include Water resources, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Water resource management and Hydropower. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sustainability and Fishing. His studies deal with areas such as Natural resource economics, China and Environmental protection as well as Sustainability.

His Environmental resource management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Poverty, Water security and Political economy of climate change, Climate change. His Water resource management research includes themes of Agriculture and Water scarcity. His Hydropower research includes elements of Hydrology, Drainage basin and Tributary.

His most cited work include:

  • Lost food, wasted resources: global food supply chain losses and their impacts on freshwater, cropland, and fertiliser use (550 citations)
  • Sediment-related impacts due to upstream reservoir trapping, the Lower Mekong River (304 citations)
  • Is physical water scarcity a new phenomenon? Global assessment of water shortage over the last two millennia (254 citations)

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

Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Water resources, Water resource management and Poverty are his primary areas of study. His Environmental resource management study incorporates themes from Sustainable development, Integrated water resources management, Environmental impact assessment, Bayesian network and Sustainability. His Sustainability research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Water use and Natural resource economics.

Olli Varis focuses mostly in the field of Water resources, narrowing it down to matters related to Food security and, in some cases, Water security. The various areas that Olli Varis examines in his Water resource management study include Drainage basin, Agriculture, Water scarcity and Water quality. Megacity is closely connected to Urbanization in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Poverty.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental planning (27.35%)
  • Environmental resource management (23.93%)
  • Water resources (23.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Natural resource economics (12.82%)
  • Sustainability (11.97%)
  • Environmental resource management (23.93%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Natural resource economics, Sustainability, Environmental resource management, Food security and China. His Natural resource economics research incorporates themes from Water use, Climate change, Food processing and Livelihood. Olli Varis has included themes like Urbanization, Resource and Sustainable development in his Sustainability study.

Olli Varis combines subjects such as Institutional design and Adaptive capacity with his study of Environmental resource management. Olli Varis studied China and Water resource management that intersect with Water scarcity, Agriculture, Improved sanitation and Vulnerability assessment. His Water scarcity study is related to the wider topic of Water resources.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reductionist and integrative research approaches to complex water security policy challenges (78 citations)
  • Over the hills and further away from coast: global geospatial patterns of human and environment over the 20th-21st centuries (74 citations)
  • Managing the water-energy-food nexus: Gains and losses from new water development in Amu Darya River Basin (64 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • China

Olli Varis spends much of his time researching Water resource management, Water scarcity, Water resources, Sustainability and Environmental resource management. His Water resource management study combines topics in areas such as Renewable energy, China, Hydropower and Irrigation. His studies in Water scarcity integrate themes in fields like Climate change and Environmental planning.

His Water resources study often links to related topics such as Variety. His study in Sustainability is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water use and Natural resource economics. Olli Varis focuses mostly in the field of Environmental resource management, narrowing it down to topics relating to Water security and, in certain cases, Food security and Environmental studies.
