Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Machine learning

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Precipitation, Climate change, Global warming and Flood myth. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Moisture, Storm, Univariate and Historical climatology. He focuses mostly in the field of Storm, narrowing it down to topics relating to Atmospheric temperature and, in certain cases, Flash flood, Downscaling and Atmospheric circulation.

His Precipitation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Generalized extreme value distribution, Extreme value theory and Atmosphere. His Climate change research includes themes of Environmental resource management and Trend analysis. His studies in Flood myth integrate themes in fields like Synoptic scale meteorology and Meteorology.

His most cited work include:

  • Global increasing trends in annual maximum daily precipitation (563 citations)
  • Future changes to the intensity and frequency of short‐duration extreme rainfall (489 citations)
  • Future climate risk from compound events (317 citations)

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

Seth Westra mostly deals with Climatology, Climate change, Flood myth, Precipitation and Streamflow. He has researched Climatology in several fields, including Storm, Storm surge, Global warming, Range and Trend analysis. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Water resources, Surface runoff, Environmental resource management and Natural hazard.

His work in the fields of Flood myth, such as 100-year flood, intersects with other areas such as Estimation. His research in Precipitation intersects with topics in Atmosphere, Generalized extreme value distribution, Extreme value theory, Sea surface temperature and Atmospheric sciences. His Streamflow research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Univariate and Econometrics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (44.38%)
  • Climate change (20.22%)
  • Flood myth (19.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Climatology (44.38%)
  • Flood myth (19.66%)
  • Climate change (20.22%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Flood myth, Climate change, Precipitation and Multivariate statistics. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Streamflow and Climatology. As a part of the same scientific study, Seth Westra usually deals with the Flood myth, concentrating on Storm and frequently concerns with Operations research.

Seth Westra interconnects Flooding and Flash flood in the investigation of issues within Climate change. He connects Precipitation with Peak intensity in his study. The concepts of his Multivariate statistics study are interwoven with issues in Weather and climate and Environmental resource management.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A typology of compound weather and climate events (54 citations)
  • Observed Trends in Global Indicators of Mean and Extreme Streamflow (44 citations)
  • A synthesis of hourly and daily precipitation extremes in different climatic regions (19 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Machine learning

His main research concerns Climatology, Flood myth, Precipitation, Streamflow and Seasonal cycle. As part of his studies on Climatology, Seth Westra often connects relevant areas like Storm. His research integrates issues of Atmospheric circulation, Flash flood and Atmospheric moisture in his study of Storm.

His Flood myth study incorporates themes from Scale, Climate change, Flooding and Global hydrology. Many of his research projects under Precipitation are closely connected to Period, Magnitude and Tropics with Period, Magnitude and Tropics, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work deals with themes such as Climate model, Radiative forcing, Greenhouse gas and Water resources, which intersect with Streamflow.
