Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Hydrology

James W. Kirchner mainly investigates Hydrology, Erosion, Geomorphology, Streamflow and Sediment. His Hydrology research integrates issues from Precipitation and Weathering. His research integrates issues of Denudation, Tectonics, Alluvium and Mountain stream in his study of Erosion.

His work on Sediment transport, Bedrock and Landscape evolution model as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Advection, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Streamflow intersects with topics in Sampling, Water quality and Storm. His Sediment study incorporates themes from Soil science and Grain size.

His most cited work include:

  • Gene expression analysis by massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) on microbead arrays (1469 citations)
  • Getting the right answers for the right reasons: Linking measurements, analyses, and models to advance the science of hydrology (737 citations)
  • Fractal stream chemistry and its implications for contaminant transport in catchments (716 citations)

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

Hydrology, Streamflow, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation and Drainage basin are his primary areas of study. His work on Hydrology, Surface runoff, Catchment hydrology and Water quality as part of general Hydrology study is frequently linked to TRACER, bridging the gap between disciplines. Within one scientific family, James W. Kirchner focuses on topics pertaining to STREAMS under Surface runoff, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Geomorphology.

His research on Streamflow also deals with topics like

  • Hydrograph which is related to area like Soil science,
  • Groundwater, which have a strong connection to Riparian zone. His study in Atmospheric sciences is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spatial heterogeneity, Evapotranspiration and Water cycle. James W. Kirchner interconnects Evaporation and δ18O in the investigation of issues within Precipitation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (62.83%)
  • Streamflow (29.42%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (26.77%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (26.77%)
  • Hydrology (62.83%)
  • Precipitation (28.76%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Precipitation, Streamflow and Evapotranspiration. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Global change and, on occasion, Spatial heterogeneity. His Hydrology research includes themes of Climate change and Growing season.

His studies in Precipitation integrate themes in fields like Waste management, Evaporation, δ18O and Flow. James W. Kirchner has researched Streamflow in several fields, including Soil science, Water level, Groundwater, Sampling and Hydrograph. His Evapotranspiration research incorporates elements of Structural basin, Tectonics, Water cycle, Water resources and Scale.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH)–a community perspective (144 citations)
  • Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH)–a community perspective (144 citations)
  • Hillslope Hydrology in Global Change Research and Earth System Modeling (93 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Hydrology

His primary areas of study are Drainage basin, Precipitation, Hydrology, Atmospheric sciences and Streamflow. His research in the fields of Dissolved load overlaps with other disciplines such as Contraction. His Precipitation study combines topics in areas such as Linear regression, Soil water, δ18O, Evapotranspiration and Drainage density.

His work in Evapotranspiration tackles topics such as Watershed which are related to areas like Groundwater. His study in the field of Socio-hydrology is also linked to topics like Distribution. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water cycle and Hydrograph in addition to Streamflow.
