- The paper reports on the first ever hydrologically-based classification of the world’s climate; all previous climate classifications were from the perspective of other disciplines (e.g., meteorology, botany). This work was acknowledged as one of the most significant contributions of 2018 to global hydrology (Prof Mark Bierkens, editor of Water Resources Research, in his address to American Geophysical Union, 2018). This classification is important to the field because it provides a starting point for unifying the natural diversity and complexity of global hydrology, which is currently very fragmented. The paper has led to invited lectures in USA, Canada (2), and Russia.
