- Oceanography
- Sedimentary rock
His primary areas of investigation include Ice stream, Ice sheet, Ice shelf, Oceanography and Geomorphology.
Colm Ó Cofaigh has researched Ice stream in several fields, including Arctic ice pack, Continental shelf, Glaciology, Deglaciation and Antarctic ice sheet.
The various areas that Colm Ó Cofaigh examines in his Ice sheet study include Glacial period, Paleontology, Last Glacial Maximum and Antarctic sea ice, Ice-sheet model.
His work investigates the relationship between Ice shelf and topics such as Greenland ice sheet that intersect with problems in Stadial and Younger Dryas.
His Oceanography research includes themes of Glacier and Landform.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedimentary rock, Subglacial stream and Continental margin.
His most cited work include:
- Evolution of subglacial bedforms along a paleo-ice stream, Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf (261 citations)
- Flow dynamics and till genesis associated with a marine-based Antarctic palaeo-ice stream. (241 citations)
- Submarine glacial landforms and rates of ice-stream collapse (185 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ice sheet, Oceanography, Ice stream, Glacial period and Geomorphology.
His studies deal with areas such as Continental shelf, Paleontology, Ice shelf, Deglaciation and Last Glacial Maximum as well as Ice sheet.
His work deals with themes such as Seafloor spreading, Submarine pipeline, Turbidity current and Continental margin, which intersect with Continental shelf.
His Ice stream study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Antarctic sea ice and Ice core.
Colm Ó Cofaigh interconnects Glacier, Quaternary and Pleistocene in the investigation of issues within Glacial period.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary rock and Debris in addition to Geomorphology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ice sheet (54.04%)
- Oceanography (45.96%)
- Ice stream (44.26%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Ice sheet (54.04%)
- Paleontology (27.66%)
- Deglaciation (25.96%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Ice sheet, Paleontology, Deglaciation, Glacial period and Oceanography.
His Ice sheet research integrates issues from Glacier, Moraine, Ice stream, Continental shelf and Last Glacial Maximum.
His Quaternary, Bedrock, Trough and Geological evolution study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Margin, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Deglaciation study also includes
- Meltwater and related Sea ice, Greenland ice sheet, Turbidity current and Iceberg,
- Marine transgression, which have a strong connection to Unconformity,
- Pleistocene, which have a strong connection to Shetland.
His studies in Glacial period integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock, Seafloor spreading, Physical geography, Continental margin and Stratigraphy.
As part of his studies on Oceanography, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Sediment.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Ocean forcing of Ice Sheet retreat in central west Greenland from LGM to the early Holocene (33 citations)
- Baffin Bay paleoenvironments in the LGM and HS1: Resolving the ice-shelf question (24 citations)
- Trough geometry was a greater influence than climate-ocean forcing in regulating retreat of the marine-based Irish-Sea Ice Stream (23 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Glacier
- Sedimentary rock
- Oceanography
His primary scientific interests are in Ice sheet, Last Glacial Maximum, Deglaciation, Oceanography and Stadial.
The study of Ice sheet is intertwined with the study of Sea level in a number of ways.
His Last Glacial Maximum research incorporates themes from Sea ice, Moraine and Ice stream.
His biological study deals with issues like Continental shelf, which deal with fields such as Ice shelf.
Much of his study explores Oceanography relationship to Forcing.
His Stadial study focuses on Glacial period and Geomorphology.
