What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Hydrology
- Erosion
F. Douglas Shields mainly investigates Hydrology, Channel, Debris, Large woody debris and Stream restoration.
In general Hydrology study, his work on Erosion often relates to the realm of Hydraulics, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His work investigates the relationship between Channel and topics such as Floodplain that intersect with problems in River channel migration, Flood control, Alluvial river and Hydropower.
His studies deal with areas such as Flow and Geomorphology as well as Large woody debris.
His Stream restoration study incorporates themes from Dam removal, Ecosystem and Riparian zone.
In his research, Agronomy is intimately related to Willow, which falls under the overarching field of Riparian zone.
His most cited work include:
- Design for Stream Restoration (232 citations)
- River Channel Restoration: Guiding Principles for Sustainable Projects. (177 citations)
- Residence Time Distributions of Shallow Basins (170 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Sediment, Ecology, STREAMS and Channel.
His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Riparian zone, Habitat and Large woody debris.
His study in Large woody debris is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Open-channel flow and Geomorphology.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sediment, Phytoplankton and Alluvial plain is strongly linked to Soil science.
His STREAMS research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Channelized, Flume and Substrate.
He has researched Channel in several fields, including Floodplain, Stream restoration and Vegetation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (53.27%)
- Sediment (17.76%)
- Ecology (15.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2017)?
- Hydrology (53.27%)
- Sediment (17.76%)
- STREAMS (15.89%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Sediment, STREAMS, Water quality and Surface runoff.
His Hydrology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Nutrient.
His study looks at the relationship between Sediment and fields such as Pesticide, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Species richness and Habitat in addition to STREAMS.
His Riparian zone study, which is part of a larger body of work in Habitat, is frequently linked to Doppler effect, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Surface runoff research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry, Atrazine, Flume and Geologic Sediments.
Between 2008 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- The stream channel incision syndrome and water quality. (61 citations)
- Compensatory Mitigation for Streams Under the Clean Water Act: Reassessing Science and Redirecting Policy1 (58 citations)
- Three-dimensional numerical simulation of water quality and sediment-associated processes with application to a Mississippi Delta lake. (27 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Erosion
His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Nutrient, Water quality, Restoration ecology and Surface runoff.
His research investigates the connection between Hydrology and topics such as Sediment that intersect with issues in Plankton.
His Nutrient research includes themes of Agronomy, Atrazine, Pollutant and Wetland.
F. Douglas Shields has researched Water quality in several fields, including Phytoplankton, Chlorophyll, Water pollution, STREAMS and Channel.
His Restoration ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Channel bank, Erosion control, Erosion, Bank erosion and Stream restoration.
His research integrates issues of Aquatic ecosystem, Geologic Sediments and Water level in his study of Surface runoff.
