What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Erosion
- Archaeology
Heather Viles spends much of her time researching Weathering, Ecology, Geomorphology, Biogeomorphology and Geochemistry.
She has included themes like Lichen, Mineralogy, Physical geography, Moisture and Erosion in her Weathering study.
Her Climate change, Environmental change and Microclimate study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Research needs, bridging the gap between disciplines.
When carried out as part of a general Geomorphology research project, her work on Rock weathering is frequently linked to work in Context, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
She combines subjects such as Bioerosion, Abiotic component, Earth system science and Disturbance with her study of Biogeomorphology.
Her work deals with themes such as Cartography, Deposition and Carbonate, which intersect with Geochemistry.
Her most cited work include:
- Salt weathering hazard (340 citations)
- A Review and Reassessment of Travertine Classification (149 citations)
- The use of the Schmidt Hammer and Equotip for rock hardness assessment in geomorphology and heritage science: a comparative analysis (136 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Weathering, Geomorphology, Ecology, Mineralogy and Moisture.
Her study in Weathering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sedimentary rock, Geotechnical engineering, Erosion and Earth science.
The subject of her Erosion research is within the realm of Hydrology.
Her Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geochemistry and Anthropocene.
Lichen and Biogeomorphology are the primary areas of interest in her Ecology study.
She most often published in these fields:
- Weathering (28.85%)
- Geomorphology (16.07%)
- Ecology (13.11%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Environmental planning (3.28%)
- Cultural heritage (4.59%)
- Weathering (28.85%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Heather Viles mainly investigates Environmental planning, Cultural heritage, Weathering, Moisture and Masonry.
The various areas that Heather Viles examines in her Cultural heritage study include Natural heritage and Architectural engineering.
Heather Viles conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Weathering and Control set through her research.
Her research integrates issues of Geotechnical engineering, Lime, Mortar and Forensic engineering in her study of Masonry.
The Geotechnical engineering study combines topics in areas such as Arid and Stress.
Her Natural research includes elements of Ecology and Landform.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Towards a more effective and reliable salt crystallization test for porous building materials: state of the art (32 citations)
- Efficiency and durability of a self-cleaning coating on concrete and stones under both natural and artificial ageing trials (27 citations)
- Wind-driven rain and future risk to built heritage in the United Kingdom: Novel metrics for characterising rain spells. (20 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Erosion
- Archaeology
Her primary scientific interests are in Masonry, Environmental planning, Mortar, Moisture and Biogeomorphology.
Heather Viles interconnects Geotechnical engineering, Hedera helix and Environmental protection in the investigation of issues within Masonry.
Her Geotechnical engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carbonation, Electrical conduit and Curing.
As a member of one scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Mortar, focusing on Lime and, on occasion, Wood ash, Compressive strength, Pulp and paper industry and High humidity.
Her research in Moisture intersects with topics in Built heritage, Climate change and Cycling.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Life on Mars, Riparian zone and Temporal scales in addition to Biogeomorphology.
