Keith Richards mainly focuses on Geomorphology, Terrain, Glacier, Digital elevation model and Sediment transport.
Geomorphology is often connected to Turbulence in his work.
Keith Richards interconnects Channel, Landform and Fluvial in the investigation of issues within Terrain.
In the field of Glacier, his study on Meltwater overlaps with subjects such as Glacier morphology.
His Digital elevation model research includes elements of Hydrology, Soil science and Frequency distribution.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fluid dynamics, Biological system, Boundary value problem and Open-channel flow.
His most cited work include:
- Developments in monitoring and modelling small‐scale river bed topography (239 citations)
- The application of computational fluid dynamics to natural river channels: three-dimensional versus two-dimensional approaches (179 citations)
- In situ characterization of grain‐scale fluvial morphology using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (154 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Keith Richards focuses on Hydrology, Geomorphology, Archaeology, Hydrology and Glacier.
His Hydrology research focuses on Sediment and how it connects with Erosion.
His work on Fluvial as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Hydraulics, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His research in Glacier is mostly concerned with Meltwater.
His Meltwater research includes themes of Drainage system and Discharge.
His Terrain research incorporates elements of Landform and Digital elevation model.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (28.26%)
- Geomorphology (10.14%)
- Archaeology (7.25%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Climate change (5.07%)
- Environmental planning (3.62%)
- Sustainability (2.90%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Keith Richards mainly investigates Climate change, Environmental planning, Sustainability, Plateau and Agriculture.
His Climate change research focuses on Environmental resource management and how it relates to Integrated catchment management.
His study in Environmental planning is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Systems theory, Human settlement and Land management.
His Sustainability study combines topics in areas such as Natural resource economics and China.
The various areas that Keith Richards examines in his Plateau study include Climatology, Monsoon, Precipitation, Evapotranspiration and Vegetation.
Specifically, his work in Glacier is concerned with the study of Meltwater.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Accelerated lake expansion on the Tibetan Plateau in the 2000s: Induced by glacial melting or other processes? (125 citations)
- Can mountain glacier melting explains the GRACE-observed mass loss in the southeast Tibetan Plateau: From a climate perspective? (37 citations)
- Land-Water-Food Nexus and indications of crop adjustment for water shortage solution (30 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Social science
His primary areas of study are Plateau, Agriculture, Climate change, Deforestation and Monsoon.
His Plateau research incorporates themes from Glacier, Climatology, Precipitation and Groundwater.
The Meltwater research Keith Richards does as part of his general Glacier study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cryosphere, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
Keith Richards has researched Precipitation in several fields, including Glacial period, Physical geography and Surface runoff.
His research integrates issues of Natural resource economics, Climate change and agriculture, Environmental resource management and Land use, land-use change and forestry in his study of Climate change.
The Monsoon study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Evapotranspiration, Water cycle, Vegetation and Moisture.
