Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Statistics
  • Ecology

Sonia I. Seneviratne mainly investigates Climatology, Climate change, Precipitation, Climate model and Meteorology. Her Climatology research integrates issues from General Circulation Model, Atmosphere, Predictability and Water content. Her study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecosystem and Environmental resource management.

Her work deals with themes such as Magnitude, Political economy of climate change, Evapotranspiration and Scale, which intersect with Precipitation. Her Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Albedo, Trend surface analysis, Streamflow and Extreme value theory. The Meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Climate commitment, Climate change mitigation, Atmospheric sciences, Global temperature and Vegetation.

Her most cited work include:

  • Investigating soil moisture-climate interactions in a changing climate: A review (2082 citations)
  • Recent decline in the global land evapotranspiration trend due to limited moisture supply (1225 citations)
  • Land–atmosphere coupling and climate change in Europe (1035 citations)

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

Sonia I. Seneviratne mainly focuses on Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation, Water content and Climate change. Her biological study deals with issues like Global warming, which deal with fields such as Greenhouse gas. Precipitation is closely attributed to Evapotranspiration in her study.

Her research in Evapotranspiration intersects with topics in Drainage basin, Lysimeter, Surface runoff and Water cycle. Her studies in Water content integrate themes in fields like Soil science, Soil water, Atmosphere, Vegetation and Moisture. Her Climate change study incorporates themes from Ecosystem and Earth system science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (40.60%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (24.62%)
  • Precipitation (23.11%)

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

  • Climatology (40.60%)
  • Climate change (22.03%)
  • Global warming (12.96%)

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

Sonia I. Seneviratne focuses on Climatology, Climate change, Global warming, Atmospheric sciences and Precipitation. Her Climatology research incorporates themes from Heat wave, Streamflow, Climate model and Surface runoff. In Climate model, she works on issues like Forcing, which are connected to Radiative forcing.

Her research on Climate change also deals with topics like

  • Evapotranspiration, which have a strong connection to Water cycle and Transpiration,
  • Ecosystem that connect with fields like Environmental resource management. Sonia I. Seneviratne has included themes like Earth system science, Magnitude and Greenhouse gas in her Global warming study. Sonia I. Seneviratne interconnects Extreme events, Atmosphere and Water content in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Technical Summary: Global warming of 1.5°C. An IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty (444 citations)
  • Land–atmospheric feedbacks during droughts and heatwaves: state of the science and current challenges (111 citations)
  • Large influence of soil moisture on long-term terrestrial carbon uptake (110 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Statistics
  • Ecology

Her main research concerns Climate change, Climatology, Global warming, Precipitation and Ecosystem. Her Climate change research includes themes of Agriculture, Criminology and Water resources. Sonia I. Seneviratne is involved in the study of Climatology that focuses on Forcing in particular.

Her research integrates issues of Natural resource economics, Climate model, Greenhouse gas and Sustainable development in her study of Global warming. Her Precipitation research incorporates elements of Climate sensitivity, Monsoon, Amazon rainforest and Water content. The various areas that Sonia I. Seneviratne examines in her Ecosystem study include Heat wave, Atmospheric sciences, Functional diversity and Environmental planning.
