2007 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Geomorphology

His primary areas of study are Soil production function, Erosion, Bedrock, Geomorphology and Soil water. His Soil production function study is associated with Soil science. His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Landslide and Saprolite.

His studies in Bedrock integrate themes in fields like Hydrology and Weathering. In the subject of general Geomorphology, his work in Sediment and Knickpoint is often linked to Flux, thereby combining diverse domains of study. When carried out as part of a general Soil water research project, his work on Pedogenesis is frequently linked to work in Exposure age, Laser intensity, Molecular interactions and Photon, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His most cited work include:

  • The soil production function and landscape equilibrium (624 citations)
  • Geomorphic transport laws for predicting landscape form and dynamics (320 citations)
  • Landscape form and millennial erosion rates in the San Gabriel Mountains, CA (307 citations)

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

Arjun M. Heimsath mainly investigates Erosion, Geomorphology, Soil production function, Hydrology and Bedrock. The concepts of his Erosion study are interwoven with issues in Denudation, Tectonics, Earth science, Physical geography and Weathering. Many of his research projects under Geomorphology are closely connected to Plateau with Plateau, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Saprolite and Escarpment in addition to Soil production function. His study looks at the intersection of Hydrology and topics like Sediment transport with Surface runoff. His research brings together the fields of Landslide and Bedrock.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Erosion (42.22%)
  • Geomorphology (28.15%)
  • Soil production function (25.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Erosion (42.22%)
  • Geomorphology (28.15%)
  • Tectonics (11.85%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Erosion, Geomorphology, Tectonics, Physical geography and Paleontology. His research in Erosion intersects with topics in Soil carbon, Soil production function and Earth science. His study in Soil production function is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroforestry, Sky, Geotechnical engineering, Shear strength and Saprolite.

His Basin and range topography and Canyon study in the realm of Geomorphology connects with subjects such as Cosmogenic nuclide. His Tectonics research includes elements of Fault, Hydrology and Fluvial. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arid, Surface runoff, Quaternary and Pleistocene.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Chronology, stratigraphy and hydrological modelling of extensive wetlands and paleolakes in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert during the late quaternary (25 citations)
  • In situ development of high-elevation, low-relief landscapes via duplex deformation in the Eastern Himalayan hinterland, Bhutan (22 citations)
  • Experimental socioecology: Integrative science for anthropocene landscape dynamics (20 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Paleontology
  • Sediment

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Erosion, Geomorphology, Hydrology, Weathering and Pedogenesis. His Erosion research incorporates themes from Geotechnical engineering, Shear strength, Saprolite, Soil production function and Soil depth. In his articles, he combines various disciplines, including Geomorphology and Cosmogenic nuclide.

His Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Soil biology, Soil carbon, Sediment transport and Bioturbation. His research in Weathering tackles topics such as Paleoclimatology which are related to areas like Paleontology. His Pedogenesis study introduces a deeper knowledge of Soil water.
