What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sediment
- Oceanography
- Erosion
His scientific interests lie mostly in Sediment, Hydrology, Oceanography, Structural basin and Geomorphology.
The concepts of his Sediment study are interwoven with issues in Drainage basin, Discharge, Sea level, Erosion and Turbidity current.
His work carried out in the field of Hydrology brings together such families of science as Beach morphodynamics, Deforestation and Fluvial.
While the research belongs to areas of Oceanography, James P. M. Syvitski spends his time largely on the problem of Sedimentary rock, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Ice core.
His Structural basin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Escarpment, Surface runoff, Snowmelt and Precipitation.
His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Ice shelf and Plume.
His most cited work include:
- Geomorphic/Tectonic Control of Sediment Discharge to the Ocean: The Importance of Small Mountainous Rivers (2577 citations)
- Impact of Humans on the Flux of Terrestrial Sediment to the Global Coastal Ocean (1665 citations)
- Sinking deltas due to human activities (1209 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Sediment, Oceanography, Hydrology, Geomorphology and Fjord.
His research ties Erosion and Sediment together.
James P. M. Syvitski studied Oceanography and Glacial period that intersect with Ice sheet.
His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin and River mouth.
His Geomorphology research integrates issues from Sedimentary rock, Continental shelf and Plume.
His research in Continental shelf intersects with topics in Seafloor spreading and Continental margin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sediment (38.44%)
- Oceanography (31.20%)
- Hydrology (24.23%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Hydrology (24.23%)
- Anthropocene (7.52%)
- Oceanography (31.20%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
James P. M. Syvitski mainly focuses on Hydrology, Anthropocene, Oceanography, Sediment and Delta.
Within one scientific family, James P. M. Syvitski focuses on topics pertaining to River delta under Hydrology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Subsidence and Geomorphology.
James P. M. Syvitski has included themes like Holocene, Environmental resource management, Earth science and Earth system science in his Anthropocene study.
His Oceanography research includes elements of Hydrology and Turbidity current.
His Sediment research includes themes of Drainage basin, Precipitation, Water balance, Surface runoff and Erosion.
His Delta research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aggradation, River mouth, Progradation, Environmental change and Wetland.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The Anthropocene is functionally and stratigraphically distinct from the Holocene (882 citations)
- Climate change: Protect the world's deltas (288 citations)
- When did the Anthropocene begin? A mid-twentieth century boundary level is stratigraphically optimal (286 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Climate change
- Sediment
- Erosion
His main research concerns Anthropocene, Hydrology, Holocene, Earth system science and Delta.
His Anthropocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Series, Boundary and Environmental resource management.
His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Sediment and China.
The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Scale, Precipitation, Water balance, Surface runoff and Erosion.
James P. M. Syvitski works mostly in the field of Erosion, limiting it down to topics relating to Glacial period and, in certain cases, Fluvial and Oceanography, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Delta study combines topics in areas such as Aggradation, Spatial variability, Groundwater, Geomorphology and Stratigraphy.
