Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Geomorphology

His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Physical geography, Geomorphology, Permafrost and Climate change. His Glacier study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Elevation, Debris and Digital elevation model. In his research, Wilfried Haeberli performs multidisciplinary study on Physical geography and Context.

In general Geomorphology, his work in Rock glacier is often linked to Regional differences linking many areas of study. He combines subjects such as Rockfall, Climate model, Global warming, Meteorology and Bedrock with his study of Permafrost. In his study, Effects of global warming, Arctic and Ice wedge is strongly linked to Ice segregation, which falls under the umbrella field of Climate change.

His most cited work include:

  • 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)
  • Rapid disintegration of Alpine glaciers observed with satellite data (376 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Glacier, Physical geography, Permafrost, Geomorphology and Climate change. Wilfried Haeberli has researched Glacier in several fields, including Hydrology, Glacial period, Climatology and Natural hazard. His Physical geography study incorporates themes from High mountain, Holocene and Altitude.

His Permafrost research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Debris, Earth science, Rockfall, Global warming and Snow. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glacier morphology, Digital elevation model and Borehole. His Meltwater research extends to Climate change, which is thematically connected.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (54.14%)
  • Physical geography (44.48%)
  • Permafrost (31.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Glacier (54.14%)
  • Physical geography (44.48%)
  • Permafrost (31.03%)

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

Wilfried Haeberli mostly deals with Glacier, Physical geography, Permafrost, Glacial period and Global warming. His Glacier study is concerned with the larger field of Geomorphology. His Physical geography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hazardous waste, Climate change, High mountain and Natural hazard.

The Permafrost study combines topics in areas such as Debris and Subsidence. His work in the fields of Glacial lake overlaps with other areas such as Field based. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Global warming, concentrating on Sea level and intersecting with Climatology, Snow, Cryosphere and Meltwater.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Increasing risks related to landslides from degrading permafrost into new lakes in de-glaciating mountain ranges (119 citations)
  • New lakes in deglaciating high-mountain regions – opportunities and risks (47 citations)
  • Snow and Ice-Related Hazards, Risks, and Disasters (45 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Erosion

Glacier, Physical geography, Glacier mass balance, Bedrock and Glacial period are his primary areas of study. His studies in Glacier integrate themes in fields like Hydrology, Sea level change and Hydropower. His Physical geography research integrates issues from Global warming, Climate change and Permafrost.

His Permafrost study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Debris. His research on Glacier mass balance concerns the broader Geomorphology. His research in Glacial period intersects with topics in Cryosphere, Climatology, Snow and Sea level.
