Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Climate change

Glacier, Geomorphology, Debris, Climatology and Glacier morphology are his primary areas of study. His research in Glacier intersects with topics in Glacial period and Glacier terminus. He has researched Geomorphology in several fields, including Shear and Ice shelf.

His Debris research focuses on Surface runoff and how it relates to Terrain, Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer and Glacial lake. His studies deal with areas such as Surge and Last Glacial Maximum as well as Climatology. His study in Glacier morphology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tidewater and Sea surface temperature.

His most cited work include:

  • Glaciers and glaciation. (863 citations)
  • Calving processes and the dynamics of calving glaciers (406 citations)
  • Calving processes and the dynamics of calving glaciers (406 citations)

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

Douglas I. Benn mainly investigates Glacier, Geomorphology, Physical geography, Glacial period and Moraine. His research integrates issues of Debris, Glacier morphology, Surge, Ice sheet and Tidewater glacier cycle in his study of Glacier. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology and Glacier mass balance.

His Geomorphology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drainage system and Ice stream, Glacier terminus. The Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Quaternary and Earth science. The concepts of his Moraine study are interwoven with issues in Younger Dryas, Holocene, Geochemistry and Landform.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (91.13%)
  • Geomorphology (59.11%)
  • Physical geography (25.12%)

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

  • Glacier (91.13%)
  • Physical geography (25.12%)
  • Geomorphology (59.11%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glacier, Physical geography, Geomorphology, Iceberg and Ice sheet. Douglas I. Benn has included themes like Front, Surge and Arctic in his Glacier study. His Physical geography study incorporates themes from Glacial period and Supraglacial lake.

He studies Ablation zone which is a part of Geomorphology. His research in Iceberg intersects with topics in Current and Fjord. He combines subjects such as Force balance, Ice shelf, Seasonality, Plume and Crevasse with his study of Ice sheet.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Glacial geomorphological mapping: A review of approaches and frameworks for best practice (58 citations)
  • Fjords as Aquatic Critical Zones (ACZs) (23 citations)
  • Calving controlled by melt-under-cutting : detailed calving styles revealed through time-lapse observations (22 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Glacier, Physical geography, Tidewater glacier cycle, Tidewater and Ice sheet. His study in Glacier is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Flow, Surge and Ice thickness. Douglas I. Benn has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Sea level rise, Range, Archipelago and Front.

Douglas I. Benn interconnects Ice dynamics, Mooring and Geospatial analysis in the investigation of issues within Tidewater glacier cycle. His Tidewater study is concerned with the field of Geomorphology as a whole. His work deals with themes such as Glacier morphology, Ice shelf, Ice field and Cirque glacier, which intersect with Ice sheet.
