Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Glacier

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glacier, Climatology, Climate change, Snow and Elevation. His Glacier research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacial period and Earth's energy budget. Patrick Wagnon has researched Earth's energy budget in several fields, including Albedo and Sea surface temperature.

His Annual cycle study, which is part of a larger body of work in Climatology, is frequently linked to Energy balance, Dry season and Tropics, bridging the gap between disciplines. The various areas that he examines in his Climate change study include Precipitation, Surge and Glacier mass balance. Patrick Wagnon focuses mostly in the field of Glacier mass balance, narrowing it down to topics relating to Altitude and, in certain cases, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change and tropical Andean glaciers: Past, present and future (453 citations)
  • Remote sensing estimates of glacier mass balances in the Himachal Pradesh (Western Himalaya, India) (366 citations)
  • Current state of glaciers in the tropical Andes: a multi-century perspective on glacier evolution and climate change (325 citations)

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

Patrick Wagnon focuses on Glacier, Climatology, Snow, Physical geography and Glacier mass balance. Patrick Wagnon interconnects Debris, Climate change, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation and Monsoon in the investigation of issues within Glacier. His Climatology study deals with Latent heat intersecting with Sensible heat.

Patrick Wagnon has researched Snow in several fields, including Albedo and Hydrology. He works mostly in the field of Physical geography, limiting it down to topics relating to Glacial period and, in certain cases, Digital elevation model and Drainage, as a part of the same area of interest. His research integrates issues of Wind speed and Altitude in his study of Glacier mass balance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (109.73%)
  • Climatology (56.64%)
  • Snow (46.90%)

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

  • Glacier (109.73%)
  • Physical geography (35.40%)
  • Debris (17.70%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Debris, Thinning and Monsoon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Snow, Glacial period, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences. Patrick Wagnon has included themes like Glacier mass balance and Water resources in his Climate change study.

His Physical geography course of study focuses on Drainage and Outburst flood and Digital elevation model. To a larger extent, he studies Climatology with the aim of understanding Monsoon. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Humidity and Effects of high altitude on humans.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers (97 citations)
  • Twenty-first century glacier slowdown driven by mass loss in High Mountain Asia (78 citations)
  • OZCAR: The French Network of Critical Zone Observatories (60 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Glacier

Patrick Wagnon mainly focuses on Glacier, Physical geography, Thinning, Glacial period and Glacier tongue. His studies deal with areas such as Climate change, Precipitation, Surface runoff, Snowmelt and Monsoon as well as Glacier. Climate change is closely attributed to Climatology in his work.

His work carried out in the field of Precipitation brings together such families of science as Drainage basin, Hydrology, Moraine and Snow. His Physical geography research includes elements of Stream gauge, Digital elevation model and Drainage. His Glacial period research incorporates elements of Atmospheric sciences, Sea level and Ablation zone.
