Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sediment
  • Statistics
  • Erosion

His primary areas of study are Sediment, Geomorphology, Hydrology, Sediment transport and Alluvium. Chris Paola has included themes like Geotechnical engineering, Grain size and Subsidence in his Sediment study. His Geomorphology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Drainage basin and Instability.

His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Communication channel, Riparian zone and Seeding. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sediment transport, Stefan problem, Shore, Amplitude and Meteorology is strongly linked to Deposition. Chris Paola combines subjects such as Sedimentary rock, Avulsion and Aggradation with his study of Alluvium.

His most cited work include:

  • The large‐scale dynamics of grain‐size variation in alluvial basins, 1: Theory (512 citations)
  • Quantitative models of sedimentary basin filling (371 citations)
  • A cellular model of braided rivers (357 citations)

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

Chris Paola mainly investigates Geomorphology, Sediment, Fluvial, Hydrology and Sediment transport. His Communication channel research extends to the thematically linked field of Geomorphology. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geotechnical engineering, Erosion and Aggradation.

Chris Paola combines topics linked to Stratigraphy with his work on Fluvial. His research in the fields of Hydrology overlaps with other disciplines such as River delta. Sediment transport is often connected to Geometry in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (46.85%)
  • Sediment (24.13%)
  • Fluvial (16.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geomorphology (46.85%)
  • Sediment (24.13%)
  • Fluvial (16.08%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geomorphology, Sediment, Fluvial, Hydrology and Sea level rise. Alluvium, Subsidence, Alluvial fan and Turbidity current are the primary areas of interest in his Geomorphology study. His Alluvium study also includes fields such as

  • Communication channel which connect with Geometry, Surface runoff, Erosion rate and Soil science,
  • Sediment transport most often made with reference to Submarine pipeline.

His Sediment research includes elements of Drainage basin, Structural basin, Shore and Wave height. His work in Fluvial addresses issues such as Sedimentary rock, which are connected to fields such as Earth science. His Sea level rise research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Paleontology, Barrier island and Progradation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Time Not Our Time: Physical Controls on the Preservation and Measurement of Geologic Time (28 citations)
  • Reduction of deltaic channel mobility by tidal action under rising relative sea level (17 citations)
  • A base-level stratigraphic approach to determining Holocene subsidence of the Ganges–Meghna–Brahmaputra Delta plain (16 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Sediment
  • Erosion

His main research concerns Paleontology, Sediment, Sea level rise, Laboratory experiment and Soil science. His work in the fields of Bedform, Sedimentary rock and Sadler effect overlaps with other areas such as Numerical models. His Sediment research incorporates themes from Communication channel and Physical geography.

His Soil science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Flood myth, Flood hydrograph, Hydrograph and Scaling. His Climate change research focuses on Sea level and how it connects with Subsidence, Geomorphology, Isopach map, Holocene and Floodplain. As part of the same scientific family, Chris Paola usually focuses on Subsidence, concentrating on Fluvial and intersecting with Flow, Boundary, Deposition, Progradation and Bifurcation.
