Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Artificial intelligence

Tobias Bolch mainly investigates Glacier, Glacier mass balance, Physical geography, Climate change and Hydrology. His Glacier study incorporates themes from Climatology, Debris, Terrain, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer and Surface runoff. Tobias Bolch undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Glacier mass balance and Glacier morphology in his work.

His study in the field of Glacial lake outburst flood also crosses realms of Ice cap climate. His Climate change research integrates issues from Geomorphology and Digital elevation model. Tobias Bolch usually deals with Hydrology and limits it to topics linked to Glacial period and Permafrost, Snow and Streamflow.

His most cited work include:

  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers (1063 citations)
  • A Reconciled Estimate of Glacier Contributions to Sea Level Rise: 2003 to 2009 (775 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glacier, Physical geography, Glacier mass balance, Geomorphology and Debris. His research integrates issues of Climatology, Elevation, Drainage basin, Climate change and Digital elevation model in his study of Glacier. His study explores the link between Climatology and topics such as Ice sheet that cross with problems in Ice core.

In his study, Snow is inextricably linked to Precipitation, which falls within the broad field of Physical geography. His research investigates the connection between Glacier mass balance and topics such as Surface runoff that intersect with issues in Meltwater and Water resources. His studies deal with areas such as Moraine and Satellite imagery as well as Debris.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (116.14%)
  • Physical geography (60.54%)
  • Glacier mass balance (35.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Glacier (116.14%)
  • Physical geography (60.54%)
  • Debris (26.91%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Glacier, Physical geography, Debris, Glacial period and Glacier mass balance. The Glacier study combines topics in areas such as Elevation, Climate change and Precipitation. In general Physical geography, his work in Glacial lake is often linked to Period linking many areas of study.

His Debris research focuses on Moraine and how it relates to Lithology. His Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Decision tree and Remote sensing. His studies in Glacier mass balance integrate themes in fields like Surge and Surface runoff.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Importance and vulnerability of the world's water towers (152 citations)
  • Status and change of the cryosphere in the Extended Hindu Kush Himalaya Region (55 citations)
  • A consistent glacier inventory for Karakoram and Pamir derived from Landsat data: distribution of debris cover and mapping challenges (41 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Debris, Glacial period and Elevation. Tobias Bolch is involved in the study of Glacier that focuses on Glacier mass balance in particular. His Glacier mass balance research incorporates themes from Snow line and Climatology.

Tobias Bolch focuses mostly in the field of Debris, narrowing it down to matters related to Geomorphology and, in some cases, Ridge. His Glacial period research incorporates elements of Remote sensing and Remote sensing. In his study, Synthetic aperture radar is strongly linked to Digital elevation model, which falls under the umbrella field of Snow.
