Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Flood myth, Hydrology, Physical geography, Holocene and Climate change. His Flood myth research includes elements of Natural hazard, Environmental resource management, Peninsula, Key and Remote sensing. His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Structural basin and Jökulhlaup.

His Physical geography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Environmental change, Flooding and Pleistocene. The concepts of his Holocene study are interwoven with issues in Radiocarbon dating and Fluvial. His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Climatology, Weather and climate and Streamflow.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in climate extremes and their impacts on the natural physical environment (1015 citations)
  • Flood risk and climate change: global and regional perspectives (531 citations)
  • Reported tailings dam failures. A review of the European incidents in the worldwide context. (258 citations)

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

His main research concerns Flood myth, Hydrology, Physical geography, Holocene and Fluvial. His Flood myth study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drainage basin, Mediterranean climate, Climatology and Flooding. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Climate change and Climate model.

His Hydrology research integrates issues from Structural basin and Sediment. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary rock and Magnitude. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Holocene, Chronology is strongly linked to Radiocarbon dating.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Flood myth (45.40%)
  • Hydrology (38.65%)
  • Physical geography (22.70%)

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

  • Flood myth (45.40%)
  • Physical geography (22.70%)
  • Hydrology (38.65%)

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

Gerardo Benito spends much of his time researching Flood myth, Physical geography, Hydrology, Climatology and Climate change. The study incorporates disciplines such as North Atlantic oscillation, Structural basin, Magnitude and Flooding in addition to Flood myth. His Physical geography research includes elements of Fluvial, Drainage basin, Sedimentary rock, Holocene and Mediterranean climate.

He has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Ephemeral key and Sediment. His Climatology research includes themes of Atlantic hurricane, Climate model, Downscaling and Return period. His work on Global warming as part of general Climate change research is often related to Administration, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Flood risk and climate change: global and regional perspectives (531 citations)
  • Holocene flooding and climate change in the Mediterranean (116 citations)
  • Integrating risks of climate change into water management (73 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

Gerardo Benito mainly investigates Flood myth, Climatology, Climate change, Physical geography and Holocene. Flood myth is a primary field of his research addressed under Hydrology. Gerardo Benito has included themes like Varve, Period, Return period and Clastic rock in his Climatology study.

His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Freshwater systems, Flash flood and Operations research. As a member of one scientific family, Gerardo Benito mostly works in the field of Physical geography, focusing on Mediterranean climate and, on occasion, Ephemeral key and Channel. His Holocene research incorporates elements of Range, Hydrometeorology, Fluvial, Peat and Glacier.
