Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Ice age

His primary areas of investigation include Glacial period, Glacier, Ice sheet, Oceanography and Deglaciation. His Glacial period study incorporates themes from Westerlies and Holocene. David E. Sugden has researched Glacier in several fields, including Climate change and Radiocarbon dating.

The concepts of his Ice sheet study are interwoven with issues in Paleontology, Ice stream and Antarctic ice sheet. Ice stream is frequently linked to Antarctic sea ice in his study. His primary area of study in Oceanography is in the field of Ice core.

His most cited work include:

  • Glaciers and landscape (297 citations)
  • Climatic inferences from glacial and palaeoecological evidence at the last glacial termination, southern South America (275 citations)
  • The Last Glacial Maximum and deglaciation in southern South America (226 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ice sheet, Glacial period, Oceanography, Ice stream and Physical geography. His Ice sheet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cryosphere, Antarctic sea ice, Antarctic ice sheet and Ice-sheet model. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Paleoclimatology under Antarctic ice sheet, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Volcanic ash and Bedrock.

The various areas that David E. Sugden examines in his Glacial period study include Glacier, Westerlies and Pleistocene. His Glacier research integrates issues from Younger Dryas and Climate change. His Ice stream research focuses on subjects like Ice shelf, which are linked to Iceberg.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice sheet (46.15%)
  • Glacial period (34.97%)
  • Oceanography (29.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Ice sheet (46.15%)
  • Antarctic ice sheet (24.48%)
  • Ice stream (29.37%)

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

David E. Sugden spends much of his time researching Ice sheet, Antarctic ice sheet, Ice stream, Geomorphology and Ice-sheet model. His Ice sheet research includes elements of Cryosphere, Antarctic sea ice, Deglaciation and Physical geography. David E. Sugden combines subjects such as Elevation and Glacial period with his study of Physical geography.

His work carried out in the field of Glacial period brings together such families of science as Glacier, Geochemistry and Table. David E. Sugden regularly links together related areas like Paleontology in his Antarctic ice sheet studies. The concepts of his Geomorphology study are interwoven with issues in Photogrammetry and Glacier morphology.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Dynamic cycles, ice streams and their impact on the extent, chronology and deglaciation of the British-Irish ice sheet (204 citations)
  • Influence of Patagonian glaciers on Antarctic dust deposition during the last glacial period (132 citations)
  • Deglacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the Weddell Sea embayment: Constraints on past ice volume change (124 citations)
