What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Climate change
- Meteorology
- Oceanography
His primary areas of investigation include Greenland ice sheet, Climatology, Ice sheet, Climate model and Glacier mass balance.
His Greenland ice sheet research includes elements of Cryosphere, Albedo, Atmospheric sciences and Snow, Meltwater.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glacier, Global warming and Precipitation.
His Ice sheet research integrates issues from Future sea level, Sea level and Ice-sheet model.
His Climate model research includes themes of Sea level rise and Satellite data.
In his study, Physical geography, Peninsula and Environmental resource management is strongly linked to Climate change, which falls under the umbrella field of Glacier mass balance.
His most cited work include:
- Coastal flood damage and adaptation costs under 21st century sea-level rise (518 citations)
- Mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from 1992 to 2017. (324 citations)
- Estimating the Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance contribution to future sea level rise using the regional atmospheric climate model MAR (263 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Climatology, Greenland ice sheet, Climate model, Ice sheet and Glacier mass balance are his primary areas of study.
His Climatology study which covers Snow that intersects with Ice-albedo feedback.
His research in Greenland ice sheet intersects with topics in Albedo, Atmospheric circulation, Atmospheric sciences, Meltwater and Future sea level.
His Climate model study combines topics in areas such as Arctic, Precipitation, Global warming, Antarctic ice sheet and Forcing.
The concepts of his Ice sheet study are interwoven with issues in Sea ice, Ice stream, Sea level and Ice core.
His Glacier mass balance study typically links adjacent topics like Elevation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (64.02%)
- Greenland ice sheet (47.64%)
- Climate model (38.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Xavier Fettweis mainly focuses on Climatology, Climate model, Greenland ice sheet, Ice sheet and Glacier mass balance.
When carried out as part of a general Climatology research project, his work on Forcing is frequently linked to work in Phase, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Routing, Atmospheric sciences, Snow, Meltwater and Surface runoff.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Atmosphere, Cloud cover and Sea level rise, Climate change in addition to Greenland ice sheet.
His Ice sheet research incorporates elements of Coupled model intercomparison project, Glacier, Sea level, Antarctic ice sheet and Ice-sheet model.
His Glacier mass balance study also includes fields such as
- Atmospheric circulation which is related to area like Anticyclone,
- Anomaly that connect with fields like Elevation and Geophysics.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Return to rapid ice loss in Greenland and record loss in 2019 detected by the GRACE-FO satellites (80 citations)
- Unprecedented atmospheric conditions (1948–2019) drive the 2019 exceptional melting season over the Greenland ice sheet (27 citations)
- The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: a multi-model ensemble study of ISMIP6 (24 citations)
