Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Wetland

Hydrology, Riparian zone, Floodplain, Channel and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Vegetation, Fluvial and Large woody debris. In the subject of general Riparian zone, his work in Riparian forest is often linked to Latitude, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Floodplain research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of River ecosystem, Range, Hydrology and Water quality. In his research on the topic of Channel, Coastal zone and Estuary is strongly related with Water resource management. His work is dedicated to discovering how Ecology, Glacial period are connected with Chloroperlidae, Benthic zone and Snowmelt and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Impounded Rivers: Perspectives for Ecological Management (636 citations)
  • Dams and geomorphology: Research progress and future directions (349 citations)
  • Riparian vegetation and island formation along the gravel‐bed Fiume Tagliamento, Italy (342 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrology, Ecology, Riparian zone, STREAMS and Channel. Geoffrey E. Petts has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Sediment and Vegetation. His study connects Glacial period and Ecology.

His Riparian zone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Floodplain, Ecotone and Driftwood. His Channel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water quality and Tributary. His Ecosystem research focuses on Resource and how it connects with Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (44.89%)
  • Ecology (23.56%)
  • Riparian zone (14.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2017)?

  • Hydrology (44.89%)
  • Riparian zone (14.22%)
  • Environmental resource management (12.00%)

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

Geoffrey E. Petts mostly deals with Hydrology, Riparian zone, Environmental resource management, Ecology and Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Sediment and Habitat in his study of Hydrology. His study in Riparian zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Floodplain, Driftwood, Deposition, Vegetation and Channel.

His Environmental resource management research includes elements of River ecosystem, Ecology, Urban area and Water resources. His Ecology research includes themes of Plant growth, Agronomy and River morphology. The study incorporates disciplines such as River management and Water supply in addition to Ecosystem.

Between 2004 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Dams and geomorphology: Research progress and future directions (349 citations)
  • Effects of deposited wood on biocomplexity of river corridors (222 citations)
  • Turbidity dynamics during spring storm events in an urban headwater river system: the Upper Tame, West Midlands, UK. (209 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Wetland
  • Hydrology

Geoffrey E. Petts mainly investigates Hydrology, Riparian zone, Environmental resource management, Sediment and River ecosystem. His Hydrology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Vegetation. The Riparian zone study combines topics in areas such as Channel, Floodplain and Nitrate.

His Channel research incorporates themes from Fisheries management and STREAMS. His Sediment research incorporates elements of Riparian forest, Driftwood and Storm. His Climate change study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Alnus incana and Hydric soil.
