What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Sediment
- Sedimentary rock
Charles A. Nittrouer mainly investigates Oceanography, Continental shelf, Sediment, Seabed and Sedimentary rock.
His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Sedimentation, Sediment transport, River mouth and Continental margin.
His Continental shelf research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary depositional environment, Sedimentary budget, Geomorphology and Amazon rainforest.
His biological study focuses on Deposition.
His Seabed research integrates issues from Sedimentary structures and Benthic zone.
His research investigates the link between Sedimentary rock and topics such as Sea level that cross with problems in Ridge, Stratigraphy and Tectonics.
His most cited work include:
- The use of Pb-210 geochronology as a sedimentological tool: Application to the Washington continental shelf (400 citations)
- Rates of sediment accumulation and particle reworking based on radiochemical measurements from continental shelf deposits in the East China Sea (340 citations)
- Sediment accumulation in a modern epicontinental-shelf setting: The Yellow Sea (334 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Sediment, Continental shelf, Sedimentary rock and Geomorphology.
As a part of the same scientific family, Charles A. Nittrouer mostly works in the field of Oceanography, focusing on Sediment transport and, on occasion, Discharge.
His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology, Geochemistry and Seabed.
His study in Seabed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Benthic zone and Submarine pipeline.
The concepts of his Continental shelf study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary depositional environment, Canyon, Terrigenous sediment and Continental margin.
His Sedimentary rock study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Earth science, Bioturbation and Sea level.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (56.28%)
- Sediment (54.11%)
- Continental shelf (35.06%)
