Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Sea level, Sediment, Shore and Clastic rock. His Oceanography research includes themes of Elevation and Surge. His Sea level study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coastal flood, Flood myth, Tidal range and Mangrove.

His work investigates the relationship between Sediment and topics such as Physical geography that intersect with problems in Holocene, Barrier island and Glacial period. His Shore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary rock, Earth science and Swash. His research integrates issues of Overwash and Geomorphology in his study of Paleontology.

His most cited work include:

  • The use of fractals and pseudofractals in the analysis of two-dimensional outlines: Review and further exploration (252 citations)
  • The use of the fractal dimension to quantify the morphology of irregular‐shaped particles (146 citations)
  • Morphodynamic evolution, self-organisation, and instability of coarse-clastic barriers on paraglacial coasts (139 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Geomorphology, Sediment, Storm and Sea level. His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climatology and Surge. His Geomorphology research integrates issues from Overwash and Clastic rock.

In general Sediment, his work in Deposition is often linked to Paraglacial and Marine transgression linking many areas of study. He has researched Storm in several fields, including Hydrology and Sand dune stabilization. The concepts of his Shore study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock and Sorting.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (38.37%)
  • Geomorphology (24.42%)
  • Sediment (19.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Delta (8.14%)
  • Geomorphology (24.42%)
  • Provenance (4.65%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Delta, Geomorphology, Provenance, Holocene and Northern ireland. His research on Geomorphology focuses in particular on Sediment. His work on Sediment transport as part of general Sediment study is frequently linked to Debris flow, Flow conditions and Process, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Holocene research includes elements of Compositional data, Sedimentary rock, Clastic rock, Partial least squares regression and Mineralogy. His Compositional data research incorporates elements of Probability density function, Estuary, Hydrology, Multivariate statistics and Physical geography. His Tide gauge study, which is part of a larger body of work in Oceanography, is frequently linked to Harbour, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Appropriate complexity for the prediction of coastal and estuarine geomorphic behaviour at decadal to centennial scales (47 citations)
  • The Concept of Transport Capacity in Geomorphology (34 citations)
  • Effective grain size distribution analysis for interpretation of tidal–deltaic facies: West Bengal Sundarbans (19 citations)
