Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

Permafrost, Climate change, Geomorphology, Climatology and Bedrock are his primary areas of study. His Permafrost research incorporates themes from Meteorology, Physical geography, Statistical model, Thermal conduction and Spatial distribution. His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Ice segregation, with regards to Global warming and Ice wedge.

His research in Geomorphology tackles topics such as Climate model which are related to areas like Instability, Heat flux, Stability, Heat transfer and Surface energy. His Climatology research integrates issues from Ground surface temperature, Arctic and Scale. His work in Bedrock addresses issues such as Natural hazard, which are connected to fields such as Advection, Fracture, Earth science, Lead and Latent heat.

His most cited work include:

  • Permafrost in steep bedrock slopes and its temperature‐related destabilization following climate change (388 citations)
  • Permafrost in steep bedrock slopes and its temperature‐related destabilization following climate change (388 citations)
  • Permafrost and climate in Europe: Monitoring and modelling thermal, geomorphological and geotechnical responses (387 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Permafrost, Geomorphology, Physical geography, Bedrock and Rockfall. His Permafrost research includes elements of Climatology, Climate change, Snow, Glacier and Borehole. His study in Snow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydrology and Atmospheric sciences.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Temperature measurement, Thermal and MIDI. His research in Physical geography intersects with topics in Landslide and Debris. His research combines Natural hazard and Bedrock.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Permafrost (69.23%)
  • Geomorphology (35.29%)
  • Physical geography (20.81%)

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

  • Permafrost (69.23%)
  • Physical geography (20.81%)
  • Geomorphology (35.29%)

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

Stephan Gruber mainly investigates Permafrost, Physical geography, Geomorphology, Rock glacier and Glacier. Stephan Gruber combines subjects such as Bedrock, Snow and Atmospheric sciences with his study of Permafrost. His work deals with themes such as Vibration, Fracture and Natural hazard, which intersect with Bedrock.

His studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Landslide and Ice sheet. His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Lateral variation and MIDI. His Glacier research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change and Pleistocene.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Status and change of the cryosphere in the Extended Hindu Kush Himalaya Region (55 citations)
  • Review article: Inferring permafrost and permafrost thaw in the mountains of the Hindu Kush Himalaya region (44 citations)
  • High mountain areas (42 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

Stephan Gruber mainly focuses on Permafrost, Physical geography, Glacier, Rock glacier and Snow. His Permafrost research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Bedrock, Geomorphology, Plateau and Normal mode. His studies deal with areas such as Data point and Natural hazard as well as Bedrock.

The Surface exposure dating research he does as part of his general Physical geography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cryosphere, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Rock glacier study combines topics in areas such as Natural, Climate change, Surface water and Snowmelt. He combines subjects such as Hydrology and Ice sheet with his study of Snow.
