Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Social science

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental resource management, Climate change, Adaptive capacity, Framing and Local government. His research integrates issues of Vulnerability assessment and Risk analysis in his study of Environmental resource management. His work deals with themes such as Climatology and Environmental planning, which intersect with Climate change.

His work carried out in the field of Adaptive capacity brings together such families of science as Climate risk management, Transformational leadership and Process management. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate risk and Human geography in addition to Framing. His Local government study combines topics in areas such as Climate change adaptation, Public economics and Multi-level governance.

His most cited work include:

  • Adapting to climate change through local municipal planning: barriers and challenges (455 citations)
  • Putting vulnerability to climate change on the map: a review of approaches, benefits, and risks (301 citations)
  • Climate adaptation planning in practice: an evaluation of adaptation plans from three developed nations (263 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Global warming and Adaptive capacity. His work on Effects of global warming as part of general Climate change study is frequently connected to Futures contract, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Borrowing concepts from Context, he weaves in ideas under Environmental resource management.

In his study, Environmental monitoring is inextricably linked to Environmental protection, which falls within the broad field of Environmental planning. His study focuses on the intersection of Global warming and fields such as Sustainability with connections in the field of Risk analysis and Urban planning. His work is dedicated to discovering how Vulnerability assessment, Hazard are connected with Stakeholder engagement and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climate change (48.41%)
  • Environmental resource management (36.51%)
  • Environmental planning (29.37%)

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

  • Global warming (14.29%)
  • Climate change (48.41%)
  • Environmental resource management (36.51%)

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

His primary areas of study are Global warming, Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning and Sustainability. His Global warming study incorporates themes from Flooding, Natural hazard, Social vulnerability, Natural resource economics and Flood myth. Benjamin L. Preston interconnects Drainage basin, Maximum precipitation and Stakeholder engagement in the investigation of issues within Climate change.

His study in Environmental resource management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climate change adaptation and Adaptive capacity. The Adaptive capacity study combines topics in areas such as Typology and Yield. His Environmental planning study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cost–benefit analysis, Complex system and Institution.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of climate change on probable maximum precipitation: A sensitivity study over the Alabama‐Coosa‐Tallapoosa River Basin (23 citations)
  • Effects of climate change on probable maximum precipitation: A sensitivity study over the Alabama‐Coosa‐Tallapoosa River Basin (23 citations)
  • Climate vulnerability mapping: A systematic review and future prospects (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Social science

Benjamin L. Preston mostly deals with Climate change, Global warming, Scale, Environmental resource management and Maximum precipitation. In the field of Climate change, his study on Climate change scenario overlaps with subjects such as Futures contract. His Global warming study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Flooding, Environmental planning, Environmental change, Flood myth and Sustainability.

Benjamin L. Preston combines subjects such as Climate change mitigation, Social vulnerability and Natural hazard with his study of Environmental planning. Benjamin L. Preston works mostly in the field of Environmental resource management, limiting it down to topics relating to Public economics and, in certain cases, Environmental hazard, Social capital and Adaptive capacity. His Maximum precipitation research focuses on Drainage basin and how it relates to Climatology and Storm.
