What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Erosion
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
Didier Bourlès spends much of his time researching Glacial period, Geomorphology, Cosmogenic nuclide, Paleontology and Holocene. Didier Bourlès interconnects Physical geography and Ice sheet in the investigation of issues within Glacial period. His work carried out in the field of Geomorphology brings together such families of science as Denudation and Tectonics.
His Cosmogenic nuclide study incorporates themes from Quartz, Radioactive decay, Radionuclide and Weathering. His work on Pleistocene, Paleomagnetism and Absolute dating as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Earth's magnetic field, bridging the gap between disciplines. Didier Bourlès focuses mostly in the field of Holocene, narrowing it down to matters related to Fault scarp and, in some cases, Landslide and Chronology.
His most cited work include:
- Evidence for two intervals of enhanced 10 Be deposition in Antarctic ice during the last glacial period (217 citations)
- Production of cosmogenic radionuclides at great depth: A multi element approach (201 citations)
- Slip rates of the Karakorum fault, Ladakh, India, determined using cosmic ray exposure dating of debris flows and moraines (169 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Didier Bourlès focuses on Cosmogenic nuclide, Geomorphology, Paleontology, Glacial period and Denudation. His studies in Cosmogenic nuclide integrate themes in fields like Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Earth science and Atmospheric sciences. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fault and Tectonics.
As a member of one scientific family, Didier Bourlès mostly works in the field of Fault, focusing on Alluvium and, on occasion, Cave. His Glacial period research includes elements of Glacier, Physical geography and Holocene. Didier Bourlès works mostly in the field of Denudation, limiting it down to topics relating to Erosion and, in certain cases, Sediment.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cosmogenic nuclide (24.00%)
- Geomorphology (23.71%)
- Paleontology (21.43%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Physical geography (15.43%)
- Glacial period (18.57%)
- Cosmogenic nuclide (24.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Glacial period, Cosmogenic nuclide, Paleontology and Glacier. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Drainage basin, Landform, Holocene and Mediterranean sea. His Glacial period research focuses on Chronology and how it connects with Volcano, Lava and Radiocarbon dating.
His Cosmogenic nuclide research incorporates themes from Denudation, Sediment and Alluvial plain. His Glacier research is included under the broader classification of Geomorphology. In his research, Alluvium and Geochemistry is intimately related to Quaternary, which falls under the overarching field of Pleistocene.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Cosmogenic signature of geomagnetic reversals and excursions from the Réunion event to the Matuyama-Brunhes transition (0.7-2.14 Ma interval) (34 citations)
- Deglaciation in the central Pyrenees during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition: Timing and geomorphological significance (32 citations)
- Authigenic 10Be/9Be ratio signature of the Matuyama–Brunhes boundary in the Montalbano Jonico marine succession (28 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Erosion
- Sedimentary rock
Didier Bourlès spends much of his time researching Glacial period, Glacier, Physical geography, Moraine and Paleontology. His Glacial period research is within the category of Geomorphology. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Massif, Hydrography, Tributary and Lithology.
His work deals with themes such as Volcano, Radiocarbon dating, Chronology and Holocene, which intersect with Physical geography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Landslide, Fault scarp, Last Glacial Maximum and Head. His Marine isotope stage study also includes
- Cosmogenic nuclide that intertwine with fields like Denudation,
- Orbital forcing together with Ice core.
