Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Hydrology

Brian Finlayson mostly deals with Hydrology, Water quality, Streamflow, Surface runoff and Hydrology. His Hydrology study which covers Turbidity that intersects with Total suspended solids. His Water quality study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry, Natural water and Analytical chemistry.

His Streamflow research integrates issues from Catchment area, Vegetation type, Cluster analysis, Subdivision and Extrapolation. His studies deal with areas such as Weir and Field as well as Hydrology. His Drainage basin research incorporates elements of Precipitation, Trend analysis and Water resources.

His most cited work include:

  • Updated world map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification (6564 citations)
  • Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists (1520 citations)
  • Development and testing of an Index of Stream Condition for waterway management in Australia (203 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Drainage basin, Water resources, China and Surface runoff. His Hydrology research focuses on Sediment and how it relates to Erosion. His Drainage basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water quality, Flood myth and Tributary.

His Water resources research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental resource management and Water resource management. As part of his studies on Surface runoff, he often connects relevant subjects like Precipitation. His Precipitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arid, Climatology and Evapotranspiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (35.90%)
  • Drainage basin (12.82%)
  • Water resources (12.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Water resource management (9.62%)
  • Climate change (4.49%)
  • Urban water demand (1.92%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Water resource management, Climate change, Urban water demand, Water resources and Environmental studies. Water resource management is closely attributed to Yangtze river in his work. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Population growth, Economic history and Economy.

His Water resources study combines topics in areas such as Economic system and Cumulative effects. The Environmental studies study which covers China that intersects with Water supply, Scale and Interbasin transfer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Resource and Architecture in addition to Water supply.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Will river erosion below the Three Gorges Dam stop in the middle Yangtze (34 citations)
  • An integrated assessment of China's South—North Water Transfer Project (13 citations)
  • Estimating urban water demand under conditions of rapid growth: the case of Shanghai (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Erosion

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, China, Biota, Environmentalism and Commodity. Brian Finlayson studies Hydrology, namely Three gorges. Brian Finlayson combines subjects such as Overexploitation, Sustainability and Water supply with his study of China.

He focuses mostly in the field of Biota, narrowing it down to matters related to Range and, in some cases, Vegetation. Other disciplines of study, such as Corporate governance, Commons, Contradiction, Water trading and Water resources, are mixed together with his Environmentalism studies. Brian Finlayson brings together Commodity and Economic system to produce work in his papers.
