Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Volcano

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Debris flow, Debris, Hydrology, Sediment and Geotechnical engineering. Many of his studies on Debris flow apply to Geomorphology as well. The concepts of his Debris study are interwoven with issues in Slurry, Sphere packing, Explosive eruption and Petrology.

His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Volcano, Pyroclastic rock, Land use and Marmot. His Sediment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecosystem and Erosion. In general Geotechnical engineering study, his work on Liquefaction and Consolidation often relates to the realm of Coulomb and Gravitation, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Debris-flow deposition: Effects of pore-fluid pressure and friction concentrated at flow margins (251 citations)
  • Depositional Processes in Large-Scale Debris-Flow Experiments (244 citations)
  • Debris Flow Rheology: Experimental Analysis of Fine-Grained Slurries (200 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrology, Volcano, Mount, Debris flow and Geomorphology. His Hydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sediment transport, Sediment, Dam removal and Marmot. His Volcano research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Streamflow and Hyperconcentrated flow.

In Debris flow, Jon J. Major works on issues like Geotechnical engineering, which are connected to Slurry. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Geomorphology, focusing on Pyroclastic rock and, on occasion, Crater lake. His research in Debris tackles topics such as Petrology which are related to areas like Sedimentary depositional environment.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (36.73%)
  • Volcano (26.53%)
  • Mount (23.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Hydrology (36.73%)
  • Mount (23.47%)
  • Dam removal (9.18%)

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

Jon J. Major mostly deals with Hydrology, Mount, Dam removal, Archaeology and Pyroclastic rock. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sediment transport, Sediment and Debris. His study in Sediment transport is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Middle latitudes, Disturbance and Debris flow.

His Sediment study incorporates themes from Drainage basin and Erosion. His study looks at the relationship between Drainage basin and topics such as Aquatic ecosystem, which overlap with Volcano. His research in Pyroclastic rock intersects with topics in Crater lake, Pumice, Geomorphology and Lag deposit.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dam removal: Listening in (77 citations)
  • Camera system considerations for geomorphic applications of SfM photogrammetry (61 citations)
  • Geomorphic Responses to Dam Removal in the United States – a Two‐Decade Perspective (45 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Hydrology

Jon J. Major mainly focuses on Hydrology, Dam removal, Sediment, Ecosystem and Mount. His work on Ecosystem model expands to the thematically related Dam removal. His biological study deals with issues like Erosion, which deal with fields such as Watershed and Land use.

In general Ecosystem, his work in Ecosystem management and Disturbance is often linked to Context linking many areas of study. You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as River valley, Sedimentation, Pyroclastic rock, Sediment transport and Drainage basin, in his Mount studies. He usually deals with Sediment transport and limits it to topics linked to Digital elevation model and Lidar, Scale, Photogrammetry and Ground sample distance.
