Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

Permafrost, Hydrology, Coastal plain, Arctic and Physical geography are his primary areas of study. His Permafrost research incorporates themes from Climatology, Ground-penetrating radar, Tundra and Erosion, Geomorphology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil carbon, Soil surface and Scale.

Kenneth M. Hinkel focuses mostly in the field of Coastal plain, narrowing it down to matters related to Structural basin and, in some cases, Shore, Wind direction, Longitude and Ecological succession. Kenneth M. Hinkel has researched Arctic in several fields, including Coastal erosion, Thematic Mapper, Landform and Headward erosion. His work investigates the relationship between Physical geography and topics such as Vegetation that intersect with problems in Physiographic province, Soil properties and Drainage basin.

His most cited work include:

  • The circumpolar active layer monitoring (calm) program: Research designs and initial results 1 (323 citations)
  • The transient layer: implications for geocryology and climate‐change science (233 citations)
  • Spatial Extent, Age, and Carbon Stocks in Drained Thaw Lake Basins on the Barrow Peninsula, Alaska (206 citations)

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

Kenneth M. Hinkel mostly deals with Permafrost, Hydrology, Arctic, Oceanography and Physical geography. Kenneth M. Hinkel works in the field of Permafrost, focusing on Thermokarst in particular. His research on Hydrology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Ice core.

Kenneth M. Hinkel has included themes like Coastal plain, Climatology, Climate change and Remote sensing in his Arctic study. His studies in Coastal plain integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Longitude and STREAMS. Within one scientific family, Kenneth M. Hinkel focuses on topics pertaining to Vegetation under Physical geography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Physiographic province.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Permafrost (52.14%)
  • Hydrology (34.19%)
  • Arctic (35.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Arctic (35.90%)
  • Permafrost (52.14%)
  • Oceanography (18.80%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Arctic, Permafrost, Oceanography, Remote sensing and Thermokarst. His Arctic study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climatology, Climate change, Physical geography and Breakup. His Physical geography research includes themes of Tundra and Peninsula.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydrology, Organic matter and Biogeochemical cycle in addition to Permafrost. His Oceanography study which covers Methane that intersects with Carbon dioxide, Holocene and Clathrate gun hypothesis. The Thermokarst study combines topics in areas such as Coastal plain and Satellite imagery.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Polygonal tundra geomorphological change in response to warming alters future CO2 and CH4 flux on the Barrow Peninsula. (72 citations)
  • Large amounts of labile organic carbon in permafrost soils of northern Alaska (50 citations)
  • A localized contour tree method for deriving geometric and topological properties of complex surface depressions based on high-resolution topographical data (46 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

Kenneth M. Hinkel focuses on Permafrost, Arctic, Organic matter, Climate change and Physical geography. His study in Permafrost is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Current, Earth science, Greenhouse gas and Substrate. His Arctic research includes elements of Remote sensing, Change detection, Sediment and Radiometric dating.

His Organic matter research integrates issues from Soil science, Soil water and Total organic carbon. His studies deal with areas such as Tundra, Thermokarst, Ecological succession and Growing season as well as Climate change. His Physical geography research incorporates elements of Seabed gouging by ice, Ice shelf, Sea ice, Peninsula and Hydrology.
