What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Glacier
- Mechanics
- Thermodynamics
Glacier, Geomorphology, Ice stream, Sea level and Ice sheet are his primary areas of study.
His study on Glacier is covered under Physical geography.
His work in the fields of Glacial period, Till plain and Bedrock overlaps with other areas such as Piezometer and Borehole.
Keith A. Echelmeyer has included themes like Ice field, Antarctic sea ice and Buoyancy in his Glacial period study.
His Ice stream study combines topics in areas such as Ice shelf, Lead and Crevasse.
In his study, Tidewater glacier cycle, Glacier mass balance and Tidewater is inextricably linked to Climatology, which falls within the broad field of Surge.
His most cited work include:
- Rapid Wastage of Alaska Glaciers and Their Contribution to Rising Sea Level (593 citations)
- Glacier Changes in Southeast Alaska and Northwest British Columbia and Contribution to Sea Level Rise (248 citations)
- Submarine melting at the terminus of a temperate tidewater glacier, LeConte Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A. (225 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Glacier, Geomorphology, Physical geography, Ice stream and Glacier mass balance.
His Glacier research includes elements of Hydrology, Climatology, Surge and Ice sheet.
His Geomorphology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antarctic sea ice and Glacier terminus.
The Physical geography study combines topics in areas such as Elevation and Volume.
His Ice stream research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Drag and Ice shelf.
His research integrates issues of Glacier morphology and Tidewater glacier cycle in his study of Glacier mass balance.
He most often published in these fields:
- Glacier (77.46%)
- Geomorphology (40.85%)
- Physical geography (35.21%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2013)?
- Glacier (77.46%)
- Physical geography (35.21%)
- Climatology (9.86%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Glacier, Physical geography, Climatology, Surge and Sea level.
His Glacier study is concerned with Geomorphology in general.
His work carried out in the field of Geomorphology brings together such families of science as Fast ice, Ice shelf, Ice stream, Drift ice and Sea ice.
Keith A. Echelmeyer has researched Physical geography in several fields, including Elevation and Volume.
He combines subjects such as Tidewater, Ice field, Ice sheet, Glacier mass balance and Tidewater glacier cycle with his study of Sea level.
His research in Tidewater glacier cycle intersects with topics in Glacier morphology and Climate change.
Between 2004 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Glacier Changes in Southeast Alaska and Northwest British Columbia and Contribution to Sea Level Rise (248 citations)
- Rapid viscoelastic uplift in southeast Alaska caused by post-Little Ice Age glacial retreat (183 citations)
- Updated estimates of glacier volume changes in the western Chugach Mountains, Alaska, and a comparison of regional extrapolation methods (95 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Glacier
- Mechanics
- Thermodynamics
Keith A. Echelmeyer mainly focuses on Glacier, Sea level, Tidewater glacier cycle, Glacier mass balance and Tidewater.
His Sea level research incorporates elements of Altimeter, Climatology and Antarctic sea ice.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Volume and Physical geography in addition to Altimeter.
Keith A. Echelmeyer interconnects Climate change and Surge in the investigation of issues within Climatology.
His Antarctic sea ice research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Post-glacial rebound, Geomorphology, Ice sheet, Deglaciation and Ice field.
Much of his study explores Ice sheet relationship to Glacial period.
