Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

His main research concerns Flood myth, Hydrology, Surface runoff, Snowmelt and Kriging. His Flood myth study combines topics in areas such as Water resources, Climate change, Hydrology and Operations research. His study in the field of Streamflow is also linked to topics like Representation.

His Surface runoff study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Drainage basin, Water balance and Spatial variability. His research integrates issues of Flash flood and Precipitation in his study of Snowmelt. His Kriging research integrates issues from Geostatistics and Range.

His most cited work include:

  • Regionalisation of catchment model parameters (471 citations)
  • Changing climate shifts timing of European floods (296 citations)
  • A comparison of regionalisation methods for catchment model parameters (294 citations)

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

Ralf Merz mostly deals with Hydrology, Surface runoff, Flood myth, Drainage basin and Climatology. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Hydrology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Precipitation, and often Seasonality. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spatial ecology, Water balance, Snow and Spatial variability in addition to Surface runoff.

Ralf Merz has researched Flood myth in several fields, including Storm and Snowmelt. His work carried out in the field of Snowmelt brings together such families of science as Climate change and Physical geography. His research integrates issues of Water quality, Nitrate, Surface water and Similarity in his study of Drainage basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (54.70%)
  • Surface runoff (32.48%)
  • Flood myth (32.48%)

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

  • Hydrology (54.70%)
  • Drainage basin (24.79%)
  • Climate change (5.98%)

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

Hydrology, Drainage basin, Climate change, Groundwater and Mesoscale meteorology are his primary areas of study. His Hydrology study which covers Arid that intersects with Water resource management and Flash flood. His Drainage basin study combines topics in areas such as Isotope hydrology, Water quality, Nitrate and Precipitation.

His study on Precipitation also encompasses disciplines like

  • Seasonality that connect with fields like Catchment area, Runoff model, Flooding, Climate model and Surface runoff,
  • Hydrology that connect with fields like Rainfall runoff and Climatology. As a part of the same scientific study, Ralf Merz usually deals with the Climate change, concentrating on Physical geography and frequently concerns with Snowmelt and Flood myth. He works mostly in the field of Flood myth, limiting it down to topics relating to Meteorology and, in certain cases, Calibration and Greenhouse gas, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Changing climate shifts timing of European floods (296 citations)
  • Changing climate both increases and decreases European river floods (189 citations)
  • The Bode hydrological observatory: a platform for integrated, interdisciplinary hydro-ecological research within the TERENO Harz/Central German Lowland Observatory (62 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Drainage basin

His primary scientific interests are in Drainage basin, Hydrology, Climate change, Water quality and Streamflow. His studies in Drainage basin integrate themes in fields like Water scarcity, Water resources, Aquatic ecosystem and Water supply. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nitrate and Mesoscale meteorology.

Ralf Merz combines subjects such as Earth science, Flood myth, Physical geography and Snowmelt with his study of Climate change. His research on Flood myth often connects related areas such as Mediterranean climate. His studies deal with areas such as Uncertainty quantification, Current, Ecological assessment and Drainage as well as Streamflow.
