What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Glacier
- Erosion
- Paleontology
His primary areas of study are Geomorphology, Glacier, Ice sheet, Moraine and Deglaciation.
The concepts of his Geomorphology study are interwoven with issues in Paleontology and Debris.
His Glacier research includes elements of Younger Dryas and Landform.
His Ice sheet study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ice stream and Last Glacial Maximum.
The subject of his Deglaciation research is within the realm of Glacial period.
His Physical geography research integrates issues from Bedrock and Weathering.
His most cited work include:
- The Periglaciation of Great Britain (400 citations)
- A general model of paraglacial landscape response (190 citations)
- Reconstructing the transport history of glacigenic sediments: a new approach based on the co-variance of clast form indices (171 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geomorphology, Ice sheet, Glacial period, Physical geography and Glacier.
His Geomorphology study typically links adjacent topics like Debris.
His studies in Ice sheet integrate themes in fields like Deglaciation, Ice stream, Last Glacial Maximum and Antarctic sea ice.
His Deglaciation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chronology and Surface exposure dating.
The Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Continental shelf and Sea level.
The various areas that he examines in his Glacier study include Younger Dryas, Geomorphological mapping and Stadial.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (53.46%)
- Ice sheet (29.56%)
- Glacial period (24.53%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Ice sheet (29.56%)
- Deglaciation (20.13%)
- Geomorphology (53.46%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Colin K. Ballantyne mostly deals with Ice sheet, Deglaciation, Geomorphology, Glacial period and Physical geography.
His Ice sheet research incorporates themes from Paleontology, Moraine, Ice stream and Last Glacial Maximum.
His Moraine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Radiocarbon dating and Stadial.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Deglaciation, Glacier and Fjord is strongly linked to Younger Dryas.
Colin K. Ballantyne performs multidisciplinary studies into Geomorphology and Rock slope in his work.
Colin K. Ballantyne has included themes like Debris and Holocene in his Glacial period study.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rock-slope failure following Late Pleistocene deglaciation on tectonically stable mountainous terrain (103 citations)
- Trimlines, blockfields, mountain-top erratics and the vertical dimensions of the last British–Irish Ice Sheet in NW Scotland (83 citations)
- Bayesian modelling the retreat of the Irish Sea Ice Stream (75 citations)
