Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sediment
  • Erosion
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Sediment, Geotechnical engineering, Hydrology, Bed load and Mechanics. His Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Channel, Erosion and Turbidity current. The Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Stratification, Suspended load and River delta.

His Bed load research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Flow, Grain size and STREAMS. While the research belongs to areas of Mechanics, Gary Parker spends his time largely on the problem of Bedform, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cohesion. His Sediment transport study is concerned with the larger field of Geomorphology.

His most cited work include:

  • Surface-based bedload transport relation for gravel rivers (600 citations)
  • Bend theory of river meanders. Part 1. Linear development (504 citations)
  • Bedload and Size Distribution in Paved Gravel-Bed Streams (497 citations)

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

Gary Parker mainly investigates Geomorphology, Hydrology, Sediment, Geotechnical engineering and Turbidity current. His work carried out in the field of Geomorphology brings together such families of science as Flow and STREAMS. His Hydrology research includes elements of Aggradation, Open-channel flow and River delta.

His research on Sediment often connects related topics like Erosion. Gary Parker combines subjects such as Bed load, Mechanics, Closure and Froude number with his study of Geotechnical engineering. His research integrates issues of Continental shelf, Settling, Submarine and Turbidite in his study of Turbidity current.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (32.93%)
  • Hydrology (30.10%)
  • Sediment (29.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Geomorphology (32.93%)
  • Hydrology (30.10%)
  • Sediment (29.49%)

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

Geomorphology, Hydrology, Sediment, Alluvium and Bedrock are his primary areas of study. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sediment transport, River delta and China. His studies in Sediment transport integrate themes in fields like Silt, Flood myth and Grain size.

His Sediment research focuses on Bedform in particular. In his study, Soil science is strongly linked to Bed load, which falls under the umbrella field of Bedrock. His study looks at the relationship between Turbidity current and fields such as Mechanics, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Numerical modeling of erosional and depositional bank processes in migrating river bends with self‐formed width: Morphodynamics of bar push and bank pull (83 citations)
  • Testing morphodynamic controls on the location and frequency of river avulsions on fans versus deltas: Huanghe (Yellow River), China (64 citations)
  • Aquatic interfaces: a hydrodynamic and ecological perspective (61 citations)

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

  • Sediment
  • Erosion
  • Ecology

Geomorphology, Sediment, Bed load, Hydrology and Beach morphodynamics are his primary areas of study. His study ties his expertise on River delta together with the subject of Geomorphology. His Sediment research integrates issues from Silt and Flow.

His studies deal with areas such as Soil science and Mechanics as well as Bed load. His Mechanics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Geotechnical engineering. His study in Hydrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sediment transport, Boundary layer and Sorting.
