Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Archaeology
  • Erosion
  • Paleontology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Weathering, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Cultural heritage and Earth science. His Weathering study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Durability and Deposition. He has included themes like Gypsum, Albedo and Magnesium in his Mineralogy study.

His study looks at the relationship between Geochemistry and fields such as Loess, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Moisture, Landform and Hydrology. The Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Sediment, Estuary, Inlet and Sound.

His most cited work include:

  • Heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments in a nearshore environment, Jurujuba Sound, Southeast Brazil (214 citations)
  • Surface temperature differences between minerals in crystalline rocks: Implications for granular disaggregation of granites through thermal fatigue (116 citations)
  • Mechanisms of loess-sized quartz silt production and their relative effectiveness: laboratory simulations (109 citations)

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

Bernard Smith mainly investigates Weathering, Mineralogy, Earth science, Geochemistry and Archaeology. The subject of his Weathering research is within the realm of Geomorphology. In his study, Silt and Abrasion is inextricably linked to Quartz, which falls within the broad field of Mineralogy.

The various areas that Bernard Smith examines in his Earth science study include Hydrology, Karst, Deposition and Natural. His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Estuary, Climate change and Sewage. His work in the fields of Built heritage overlaps with other areas such as Northern ireland.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Weathering (39.26%)
  • Mineralogy (22.09%)
  • Earth science (13.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Weathering (39.26%)
  • Moisture (9.82%)
  • Climate change (7.36%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Weathering, Moisture, Climate change, Mineralogy and Hydrology. His Weathering study is related to the wider topic of Geochemistry. The concepts of his Moisture study are interwoven with issues in Wetting, Environmental monitoring, Geotechnical engineering and Seasonality.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Greening, Natural, Environmental resource management and Natural building. Bernard Smith combines subjects such as Durability and Temperature cycling with his study of Mineralogy. His study in Hydrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry, Heavy metals, Sediment and Bay.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Understanding the decay of stone-built cultural heritage: (77 citations)
  • The Cyrenaican Prehistory Project 2008: The second season of investigations of the Haua Fteah cave and its landscape, and further results from the initial (2007) fieldwork (72 citations)
  • Algal 'greening' and the conservation of stone heritage structures. (63 citations)

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

  • Archaeology
  • Erosion
  • Paleontology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Weathering, Earth science, Moisture, Climate change and Hydrology. His Weathering study introduces a deeper knowledge of Geomorphology. His work carried out in the field of Earth science brings together such families of science as Landform and Verrucaria baldensis.

His Moisture study combines topics in areas such as Greening, Metallurgy and Nitrate. His Climate change research integrates issues from Natural and Perspective. His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bay, Sediment and Sewage.
