Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Meteorology

Glacier, Climatology, Glacier mass balance, Snow and Ablation zone are his primary areas of study. His research on Glacier concerns the broader Physical geography. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Orography, Precipitation and Surface runoff.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Glacial period, Moraine, Glacier morphology, Climate change and Surge in addition to Glacier mass balance. His work carried out in the field of Snow brings together such families of science as Drainage basin, Latent heat and Global Forecast System, Weather Research and Forecasting Model. Vincent Favier interconnects Albedo, Wind speed, Earth's energy budget, Humidity and Atmospheric temperature in the investigation of issues within Ablation zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Current state of glaciers in the tropical Andes: a multi-century perspective on glacier evolution and climate change (325 citations)
  • A community-based geological reconstruction of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum (161 citations)
  • New evidence for an ENSO impact on low-latitude glaciers: Antizana 15, Andes of Ecuador, 0°28'S (137 citations)

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

Vincent Favier mostly deals with Climatology, Glacier, Glacier mass balance, Snow and Physical geography. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Albedo, Climate model, Downscaling, Precipitation and Ice sheet. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Glacial period under Glacier, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Paleoclimatology.

His research in Glacier mass balance intersects with topics in Glacier morphology, Atmospheric sciences and Sea level. His studies deal with areas such as Latent heat, Wind speed, Shortwave radiation and Antarctic ice sheet as well as Snow. His work on Surface exposure dating as part of general Physical geography study is frequently connected to Tropical andes and Balance, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (53.04%)
  • Glacier (40.00%)
  • Glacier mass balance (34.78%)

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

  • Climatology (53.04%)
  • Snow (33.04%)
  • Physical geography (25.22%)

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

Vincent Favier spends much of his time researching Climatology, Snow, Physical geography, Glacier and Precipitation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Precipitable water, Climate model, Glacier mass balance and Atmospheric river. The various areas that he examines in his Glacier mass balance study include Coupled model intercomparison project, Forcing and Ice sheet.

His Snow research integrates issues from Albedo, Geopotential height, Antarctic ice sheet, Ice core and Teleconnection. His research integrates issues of Glacial period, Climate change, Digital elevation model and Water resources in his study of Glacier. His Precipitation research incorporates themes from Westerlies, Firn, Atmospheric model, Southern Hemisphere and Atmospheric circulation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Two decades of glacier mass loss along the Andes (66 citations)
  • Estimation of the Antarctic surface mass balance using the regional climate model MAR (1979-2015) and identification of dominant processes (66 citations)
  • The Dominant Role of Extreme Precipitation Events in Antarctic Snowfall Variability (32 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Glacier

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glacier, Climatology, Snow, Physical geography and Ice sheet. His Glacier study incorporates themes from Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer and Climate change. His Precipitation research extends to Climatology, which is thematically connected.

His Snow research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Albedo and Greenland ice sheet. Vincent Favier has researched Ice sheet in several fields, including Data assimilation, Remote sensing and Glacier mass balance. His Glacier mass balance research focuses on Katabatic wind and how it connects with Antarctic ice sheet.
