Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

Colin D. Woodroffe mainly investigates Oceanography, Sea level, Mangrove, Reef and Holocene. His research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Radiocarbon dating and Progradation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Volcano, Climate change, Environmental resource management, Marine transgression and Wetland in addition to Sea level.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Peat and Intertidal zone. His research in Reef intersects with topics in Paleontology and Coral reef. His study explores the link between Holocene and topics such as Quaternary that cross with problems in Pleistocene.

His most cited work include:

  • Coastal systems and low-lying areas (972 citations)
  • Coasts: Form, Process and Evolution (365 citations)
  • Mangrove Sediments and Geomorphology (287 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Sea level, Reef, Holocene and Mangrove. The various areas that Colin D. Woodroffe examines in his Oceanography study include Sediment and Quaternary. The Sea level study combines topics in areas such as Coastal plain, Marine transgression, Sedimentary depositional environment, Intertidal zone and Last Glacial Maximum.

His studies deal with areas such as Cocos Islands, Paleontology and Coral as well as Reef. His Holocene research integrates issues from Porites and Progradation. As a part of the same scientific family, Colin D. Woodroffe mostly works in the field of Mangrove, focusing on Wetland and, on occasion, Vegetation and Salt marsh.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (57.76%)
  • Sea level (23.83%)
  • Reef (22.02%)

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

  • Oceanography (57.76%)
  • Sea level (23.83%)
  • Shore (14.80%)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Sea level, Shore, Mangrove and Wetland. His is involved in several facets of Oceanography study, as is seen by his studies on Reef and Holocene. His Reef research incorporates themes from Coral reef and Accretion.

The concepts of his Sea level study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary depositional environment, Paleontology, Marine transgression and Interglacial. His Shore research includes elements of Coastal management, Beach morphodynamics, Seabed and Remote sensing. His Mangrove research incorporates elements of Estuary, Intertidal zone, Carpentaria and Precipitation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Wetland carbon storage controlled by millennial-scale variation in relative sea-level rise (96 citations)
  • Thresholds of mangrove survival under rapid sea level rise. (36 citations)
  • National sediment compartment framework for Australian coastal management (32 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Oceanography

Colin D. Woodroffe spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Shore, Wetland, Mangrove and Elevation. Coastal erosion and Beach ridge are the core of his Oceanography study. His research integrates issues of Reef, Landform and Remote sensing in his study of Shore.

His work investigates the relationship between Wetland and topics such as Salt marsh that intersect with problems in Vegetation, Total organic carbon, Carbon sequestration and Physical geography. His Mangrove study incorporates themes from Sea level and Accretion. His work deals with themes such as Storm and Tidal range, which intersect with Elevation.
