Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Vegetation, Agronomy, Halophyte and Evapotranspiration. The various areas that Edward P. Glenn examines in his Botany study include Spartina, Marsh, Salinity, Salt marsh and Animal science. His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rangeland, Terrestrial ecosystem and Plant litter.

His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Salix gooddingii, Populus fremontii and Salicornia bigelovii. His Halophyte research incorporates themes from Microbial population biology, Atriplex, Panicum, Nutrient and Osmoregulation. His research on Evapotranspiration concerns the broader Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Salt Tolerance and Crop Potential of Halophytes (669 citations)
  • Relationship Between Remotely-sensed Vegetation Indices, Canopy Attributes and Plant Physiological Processes: What Vegetation Indices Can and Cannot Tell Us About the Landscape. (418 citations)
  • Integrating Remote Sensing and Ground Methods to Estimate Evapotranspiration (240 citations)

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

His main research concerns Hydrology, Agronomy, Evapotranspiration, Riparian zone and Vegetation. His studies in Hydrology integrate themes in fields like Typha domingensis, Brackish water, Leaf area index and Transpiration. He combines subjects such as Seawater, Halophyte and Leaching with his study of Agronomy.

Edward P. Glenn focuses mostly in the field of Halophyte, narrowing it down to topics relating to Botany and, in certain cases, Horticulture. His Evapotranspiration research includes elements of Eddy covariance, Enhanced vegetation index, Canopy, Water balance and Remote sensing. His Riparian zone study combines topics in areas such as Tamarix and Floodplain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (30.74%)
  • Agronomy (22.95%)
  • Evapotranspiration (22.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Hydrology (30.74%)
  • Riparian zone (20.49%)
  • Evapotranspiration (22.54%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrology, Riparian zone, Evapotranspiration, Vegetation and River delta. The concepts of his Hydrology study are interwoven with issues in Salinity and Brackish water. His work in Salinity tackles topics such as Agriculture which are related to areas like Agronomy, Plant breeding and Domestication.

His Riparian zone research incorporates themes from Drainage basin, Tamarix and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His Evapotranspiration research includes themes of Enhanced vegetation index, Leaf area index, Groundwater, Water balance and Remote sensing. His study focuses on the intersection of Vegetation and fields such as Arid with connections in the field of Ancillary data, Vegetation classification and River ecosystem.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Fish and hydropower on the U.S. Atlantic coast: failed fisheries policies from half‐way technologies (98 citations)
  • Three halophytes for saline-water agriculture: An oilseed, a forage and a grain crop (79 citations)
  • Estimating Riparian and Agricultural Actual Evapotranspiration by Reference Evapotranspiration and MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (54 citations)
