Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Erosion

Hydrology, Floodplain, Bed load, Flood myth and Fluvial are his primary areas of study. His work on Sediment expands to the thematically related Hydrology. His Floodplain research includes elements of Alluvium and River morphology.

The various areas that he examines in his Bed load study include Geotechnical engineering and Mechanics. His Flood myth research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of River engineering and Aggradation. His work carried out in the field of Tributary brings together such families of science as Water Framework Directive and Bank erosion.

His most cited work include:

  • On bed particle diffusion in gravel bed flows under weak bed load transport (141 citations)
  • Reconstruction of the characteristics of a natural alluvial river–floodplain system and hydromorphological changes following human modifications: the Danube River (1812–1991) (136 citations)
  • A multi-scale hierarchical framework for developing understanding of river behaviour to support river management (129 citations)

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

Helmut Habersack spends much of his time researching Hydrology, Sediment, Bed load, Sediment transport and Flood myth. His work deals with themes such as River morphology and Hydropower, which intersect with Hydrology. Helmut Habersack has included themes like Structural basin and Fluvial in his Sediment study.

His Bed load research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics and Geophone. His Flood myth research includes themes of River engineering, Aggradation and Mean flow. His studies deal with areas such as Tributary and Environmental resource management as well as Floodplain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (45.45%)
  • Sediment (20.10%)
  • Bed load (17.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Hydrology (45.45%)
  • Mechanics (9.09%)
  • Sediment (20.10%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Mechanics, Sediment, Hydropower and Sediment transport. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as In situ and Mean flow. His work on Turbulence, Lagrangian coherent structures, Drag and Supercritical flow is typically connected to Scale as part of general Mechanics study, connecting several disciplines of science.

The concepts of his Sediment study are interwoven with issues in Oceanography and Ecosystem. His research in Hydropower intersects with topics in Sustainability and Water resource management. His Sediment transport study incorporates themes from Shear stress, Particle image velocimetry, Reynolds stress, Flume and Waves and shallow water.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current hydropower developments in Europe (16 citations)
  • In situ measurements of fine sediment infiltration (FSI) in gravel-bed rivers with a hydropeaking flow regime (8 citations)
  • Spatio‐temporal variability of suspended sediments in rivers and ecological implications of reservoir flushing operations (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Mechanics

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Hydropower, Flushing, Flood myth and Sediment. In general Hydrology, his work in Infiltration is often linked to Clogging linking many areas of study. His research integrates issues of Sustainability and Environmental planning in his study of Hydropower.

Flushing is intertwined with Drawdown and Streamflow in his research. His Flood myth research incorporates elements of Floodplain, Environmental resource management, Mean flow and Land use. The Mean flow study which covers Head that intersects with Sediment transport.
