Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Sea level, Storm surge, Sea level rise and Tide gauge. His Climatology research includes elements of Oceanography, Physical oceanography, Natural hazard, Flood myth and Scale. His Sea level study which covers North sea that intersects with Waves and shallow water and Hindcast.

His Storm surge research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology, Flooding, Coastal flood and Precipitation. His work carried out in the field of Sea level rise brings together such families of science as Meteorology and Climate science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Moving average, Atmospheric pressure, Percentile, Channel and Metres above sea level.

His most cited work include:

  • Future climate risk from compound events (317 citations)
  • Increasing risk of compound flooding from storm surge and rainfall for major US cities (211 citations)
  • Increasing risk of compound flooding from storm surge and rainfall for major US cities (211 citations)

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

His main research concerns Sea level, Climatology, Storm surge, Tide gauge and Flood myth. The Sea level study combines topics in areas such as Annual cycle, Coastal flood, Sea level rise and North sea. Thomas Wahl interconnects German bight, Flooding and Extreme value theory in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His research in Storm surge intersects with topics in Hydrology, Water level and Surge. His work carried out in the field of Tide gauge brings together such families of science as Parametric statistics, Climate change, Metres above sea level and Atmospheric pressure. His Flood myth study deals with Key intersecting with Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sea level (64.17%)
  • Climatology (60.83%)
  • Storm surge (51.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Climatology (60.83%)
  • Sea level (64.17%)
  • Storm surge (51.67%)

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

Thomas Wahl mainly investigates Climatology, Sea level, Storm surge, Flooding and Flood myth. The various areas that he examines in his Sea level study include Coastal flood, Predictability and Environmental resource management. His work deals with themes such as Tide gauge, Surge and Return period, which intersect with Storm surge.

His Tide gauge research focuses on subjects like Extreme value theory, which are linked to Hindcast and Environmental planning. In his work, Coastal hazards is strongly intertwined with Storm, which is a subfield of Surge. His Flooding research incorporates elements of Vine copula and Water level.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Understanding and managing connected extreme events (28 citations)
  • Measuring compound flood potential from river discharge and storm surge extremes at the global scale (23 citations)
  • Non-linear interaction modulates global extreme sea levels, coastal flood exposure, and impacts. (16 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Flood myth, Environmental planning, Set and Sea level. He combines subjects such as Bivariate analysis, Joint probability distribution and Storm surge with his study of Climatology. He has included themes like Mean squared error, Tide gauge, Surge, Extratropical cyclone and Return period in his Storm surge study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Flooding, Vine copula and Econometrics. His Environmental planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change and Sea level change. The study incorporates disciplines such as Coastal flood and Wind speed in addition to Sea level.
