Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Sediment
  • Sedimentary rock

His main research concerns Settling, Oceanography, Sediment, Mineralogy and Sedimentation. His studies deal with areas such as Mantle and Turbidite as well as Oceanography. His study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geotechnical engineering and Erosion.

His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nepheloid layer, Silt and Natural. His study looks at the relationship between Thermohaline circulation and topics such as Turbidity current, which overlap with Bedform. The study incorporates disciplines such as Trough, Particle-size distribution, Particle number and Aerosol in addition to Suspension.

His most cited work include:

  • Threshold of sediment motion under unidirectional currents (818 citations)
  • Size spectra and aggregation of suspended particles in the deep ocean (582 citations)
  • Size spectra and aggregation of suspended particles in the deep ocean (582 citations)

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

I. N. McCave focuses on Oceanography, Sediment, Geomorphology, Glacial period and Mineralogy. Thermohaline circulation, Holocene, North Atlantic Deep Water, Nepheloid layer and Water mass are the primary areas of interest in his Oceanography study. I. N. McCave combines subjects such as Hydrography and Mixed layer with his study of Nepheloid layer.

His research in Sediment intersects with topics in Deep sea, Submarine pipeline, Gulf Stream, Seabed and Turbidity current. His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Continental shelf and Terrigenous sediment. His studies deal with areas such as Suspension, Silt and Particle number as well as Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (43.06%)
  • Sediment (30.56%)
  • Geomorphology (28.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Oceanography (43.06%)
  • Glacial period (15.97%)
  • Holocene (6.94%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Glacial period, Holocene, Ice sheet and Thermohaline circulation. His research links Flow velocity with Oceanography. His studies in Glacial period integrate themes in fields like Circumpolar star, Continental shelf, Radiocarbon dating and Physical geography.

His research integrates issues of Silt and Sediment in his study of Proxy. His study in the fields of Turbidite under the domain of Sediment overlaps with other disciplines such as Context. I. N. McCave has included themes like Current meter, Seabed and Mineralogy in his Geomorphology study.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of Ocean Temperature and Ice Volume Through the Mid-Pleistocene Climate Transition (406 citations)
  • Reduced ventilation and enhanced magnitude of the deep Pacific carbon pool during the last glacial period (69 citations)
  • Long-term variations in Iceland–Scotland overflow strength during the Holocene (54 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Sediment
  • Climate change

I. N. McCave mainly investigates Oceanography, Glacial period, Holocene, Grain size and Silt. His work is dedicated to discovering how Glacial period, Radiocarbon dating are connected with Ventilation and Magnitude and other disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Flow velocity, Sea ice, Circumpolar star, Current and Sediment grain size.

I. N. McCave combines subjects such as Trough and Deglaciation with his study of Grain size. His work carried out in the field of Silt brings together such families of science as Mineralogy, Current meter, Terrigenous sediment and Continental margin. His research investigates the connection between Physical oceanography and topics such as Abyssal zone that intersect with issues in Last Glacial Maximum.
