What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Glacier
- Paleontology
- Sedimentary rock
Geoffrey Boulton mostly deals with Geomorphology, Ice sheet, Glacier, Paleontology and Ice stream.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Debris and Petrology.
His Ice sheet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tectonics, Shear zone, Fold, Quaternary and Simple shear.
The concepts of his Glacier study are interwoven with issues in Drumlin, Sediment, Subglacial stream and Bedrock.
The various areas that Geoffrey Boulton examines in his Paleontology study include Atmospheric circulation and Satellite imagery.
His Ice stream study combines topics in areas such as Ice shelf and Antarctic sea ice.
His most cited work include:
- Sediment deformation beneath glaciers: Rheology and geological consequences (733 citations)
- Boulder shapes and grain‐size distributions of debris as indicators of transport paths through a glacier and till genesis (397 citations)
- Stability of Temperate Ice Caps and Ice Sheets Resting on Beds of Deformable Sediment (373 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Geomorphology, Ice sheet, Glacier, Paleontology and Glacial period.
The Geomorphology study combines topics in areas such as Groundwater flow, Aquifer and Groundwater.
His research integrates issues of Seabed gouging by ice, Ice stream, Ice-sheet model, Permafrost and Flow in his study of Ice sheet.
His Ice stream study incorporates themes from Ice shelf and Antarctic sea ice.
His studies deal with areas such as Drumlin, Debris, Subglacial stream and Bedrock as well as Glacier.
His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geotechnical engineering, Rock mass classification, Satellite imagery and Facies.
