Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Hydrology, Erosion, Surface runoff, Sediment and Soil conservation are his primary areas of study. His study of Drainage basin is a part of Hydrology. His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil retrogression and degradation, WEPP and Rock fragment.

Jean Poesen combines subjects such as Soil science, Infiltration, Topsoil, Water content and Mediterranean climate with his study of Surface runoff. The concepts of his Sediment study are interwoven with issues in Spatial ecology and Watershed. His Soil conservation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Soil fertility, Soil management, Environmental degradation and Tillage.

His most cited work include:

  • Gully erosion and environmental change: importance and research needs (1044 citations)
  • The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM): A dynamic approach for predicting sediment transport from fields and small catchments. (915 citations)
  • Gully erosion: Impacts, factors and control (655 citations)

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

Jean Poesen mainly focuses on Hydrology, Erosion, Surface runoff, Sediment and Drainage basin. He has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Soil conservation, Soil science, Soil water and Land use. His Soil conservation study deals with Agroforestry intersecting with Forestry.

His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tillage, Agronomy, Geotechnical engineering, Topsoil and Rock fragment. His studies in Surface runoff integrate themes in fields like Infiltration, Structural basin and Vegetation. His primary area of study in Sediment is in the field of Sedimentation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (46.72%)
  • Erosion (25.43%)
  • Surface runoff (19.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Hydrology (46.72%)
  • Landslide (8.19%)
  • Erosion (25.43%)

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

His primary areas of study are Hydrology, Landslide, Erosion, Surface runoff and Drainage basin. The various areas that Jean Poesen examines in his Hydrology study include Structural basin, Soil water, Land degradation and Soil conservation. His research in Landslide intersects with topics in Disaster risk reduction, Environmental planning, Natural hazard, Hazard and Physical geography.

Jean Poesen interconnects Piping and Vegetation in the investigation of issues within Erosion. His studies deal with areas such as Water balance, Sedimentation, Groundwater recharge and Drainage as well as Surface runoff. His Drainage basin research integrates issues from Forestry, Sediment and Land management.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Soil erosion in the Anthropocene: Research needs (141 citations)
  • Comprehensive assessment of soil erosion risk for better land use planning in river basins : case study of the Upper Blue Nile River (127 citations)
  • How fast do gully headcuts retreat (112 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Erosion

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrology, Erosion, Landslide, Land use and Soil conservation. His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water and Vegetation. His Erosion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Soil science, Sediment, Piping, Soil retrogression and degradation and Tillage.

When carried out as part of a general Land use research project, his work on Land degradation is frequently linked to work in River valley, Statistical evidence and Term, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The Soil conservation study combines topics in areas such as Natural resource economics, Water scarcity and Check dam. His Surface runoff study incorporates themes from Structural basin and Hydrology.
