Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Ecology
  • Erosion

Kenneth Pye focuses on Sediment, Geomorphology, Oceanography, Aeolian processes and Mineralogy. His study in the field of Granulometry is also linked to topics like Sample. His study in the fields of Loess, Barchan and Sand dune stabilization under the domain of Geomorphology overlaps with other disciplines such as Human use.

His work deals with themes such as Sedimentary rock and Sedimentary structures, which intersect with Aeolian processes. In the subject of general Mineralogy, his work in Siderite is often linked to Sizing, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work blends Haboob and Geochemistry studies together.

His most cited work include:

  • GRADISTAT: a grain size distribution and statistics package for the analysis of unconsolidated sediments (2299 citations)
  • Aeolian dust and dust deposits (1099 citations)
  • Aeolian sand and sand dunes (740 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Geomorphology, Aeolian processes and Sediment. His Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil water, Particle-size distribution, Grain size and Scanning electron microscope. He has included themes like Organic matter and Carbonate in his Geochemistry study.

Geomorphology connects with themes related to Pleistocene in his study. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Aeolian processes, focusing on Holocene and, on occasion, Physical geography and Quaternary. He interconnects Estuary and Oceanography in the investigation of issues within Sediment.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mineralogy (22.58%)
  • Geochemistry (21.94%)
  • Geomorphology (18.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Aeolian processes (17.42%)
  • Sediment (14.84%)
  • Aeolian sand (7.74%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Aeolian processes, Sediment, Aeolian sand, Sand dune stabilization and Oceanography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Grain size, Wind speed, Mineralogy and Landform in addition to Aeolian processes. His Sediment research incorporates elements of Soil science and Soil water.

His research on Aeolian sand concerns the broader Geomorphology. Kenneth Pye studies Sediment transport, a branch of Geomorphology. His Sand dune stabilization study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrology and Vegetation.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Particle shape: a review and new methods of characterization and classification (342 citations)
  • Particle size scales and classification of sediment types based on particle size distributions: review and recommended procedures. (159 citations)
  • Decadal-scale variation in dune erosion and accretion rates: An investigation of the significance of changing storm tide frequency and magnitude on the Sefton coast, UK (103 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Erosion

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Climate change, Sediment, Adaptation and Hazardous waste. His research integrates issues of Habitat conservation and Sedimentary budget in his study of Oceanography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Storm surge, North Atlantic oscillation, Tide gauge, Sea level and Plage in addition to Sedimentary budget.

His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Natural, Habitat destruction, Habitat and Shore. His Sediment research includes elements of Trace analysis, Mineralogy, Scanning electron microscope and Analytical chemistry. Adaptation and Environmental resource management are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work.
