What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Erosion
His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Sediment, Drainage basin, Erosion and Soil science.
Ian D L Foster mostly deals with Surface runoff in his studies of Hydrology.
His work on Sediment transport and Turbidite is typically connected to Decision tree and Tracing as part of general Sediment study, connecting several disciplines of science.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Floodplain, Channel bank, Sedimentation, Topsoil and Subsoil in addition to Drainage basin.
His Topsoil research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental magnetism, Ravine and Vegetation.
His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agricultural land and WEPP.
His most cited work include:
- Soil erosion on agricultural land. (324 citations)
- Groundwater vulnerability and risk mapping for the Basaltic aquifer of the Azraq basin of Jordan using GIS, Remote sensing and DRASTIC (254 citations)
- Heavy metals in the hydrological cycle: Trends and explanation (217 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Drainage basin and Sedimentation.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Arable land and, on occasion, Soil water.
His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Physical geography, Surface runoff and Topsoil in his study of Sediment.
His Erosion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Overgrazing, Colluvium, WEPP and Land degradation.
His Drainage basin research integrates issues from Water quality, Cape, Structural basin and Channel bank.
Much of his study explores Geomorphology relationship to Geochemistry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (84.71%)
- Sediment (74.51%)
- Erosion (37.25%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Hydrology (84.71%)
- Sediment (74.51%)
- Erosion (37.25%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Drainage basin and Surface runoff.
His work deals with themes such as Organic matter and Provenance, which intersect with Hydrology.
Many of his research projects under Sediment are closely connected to Tracing with Tracing, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His Erosion study combines topics in areas such as Period, Earth science, Arable land, Soil water and Land degradation.
Ian D L Foster works mostly in the field of Drainage basin, limiting it down to concerns involving Channel bank and, occasionally, Aggradation, Coefficient of variation and Fluvial sediment.
His work on Soil loss as part of his general Surface runoff study is frequently connected to Slope angle, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Sediment source fingerprinting as an aid to catchment management: A review of the current state of knowledge and a methodological decision-tree for end-users (118 citations)
- Sediment source fingerprinting as an aid to catchment management: A review of the current state of knowledge and a methodological decision-tree for end-users (118 citations)
- The uncertainties associated with sediment fingerprinting suspended and recently deposited fluvial sediment in the Nene river basin (70 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Erosion
His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Organic matter and Arable land.
In the subject of general Hydrology, his work in Floodplain and Drainage basin is often linked to TRACER, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
In his research, Fluvial and Scale is intimately related to Environmental monitoring, which falls under the overarching field of Sediment.
His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Resource, Climate change and Surface runoff.
His Organic matter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Overbank, Phosphorus, Tributary, First flush and Eutrophication.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Silt, Cropping, Soil retrogression and degradation, Water erosion and Pollution in addition to Arable land.
