Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Sedimentary rock

Louis A. Derry mostly deals with Geochemistry, Weathering, Sediment, Clastic rock and Radiogenic nuclide. His Geochemistry research integrates issues from Carbonate and Mineralogy. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental chemistry and Soil water, Chronosequence as well as Weathering.

His study looks at the relationship between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Terrestrial ecosystem, which overlap with Soil science and Bedrock. His work deals with themes such as Foreland basin and Monsoon, which intersect with Sediment. His Radiogenic nuclide study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pedogenesis, Provenance and Clay minerals, Illite.

His most cited work include:

  • Changing sources of nutrients during four million years of ecosystem development (919 citations)
  • Sedimentary cycling and environmental change in the Late Proterozoic: Evidence from stable and radiogenic isotopes (436 citations)
  • Biological control of terrestrial silica cycling and export fluxes to watersheds (345 citations)

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

Louis A. Derry spends much of his time researching Weathering, Geochemistry, Soil water, Hydrology and Earth science. The various areas that Louis A. Derry examines in his Weathering study include Chronosequence, Clay minerals, Mineralogy, Basalt and Bedrock. His research integrates issues of Sediment, Geomorphology and Carbonate in his study of Geochemistry.

As part of his studies on Soil water, he often connects relevant areas like Biogeochemical cycle. As a member of one scientific family, Louis A. Derry mostly works in the field of Earth science, focusing on Erosion and, on occasion, Soil production function. His work in Clastic rock tackles topics such as Radiogenic nuclide which are related to areas like Provenance, Illite and Pedogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Weathering (40.17%)
  • Geochemistry (29.91%)
  • Soil water (19.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Weathering (40.17%)
  • Soil science (8.55%)
  • Silicon (11.11%)

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

Louis A. Derry focuses on Weathering, Soil science, Silicon, Soil water and Environmental chemistry. He connects Weathering with Phase in his study. Louis A. Derry interconnects Bedrock and Clay minerals in the investigation of issues within Soil science.

His work on Germanium as part of general Silicon research is frequently linked to Precipitation, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study brings together the fields of Basalt and Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Soil organic matter, Photosynthesis and Andosol.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mineral protection regulates long-term global preservation of natural organic carbon (95 citations)
  • Geochemical evolution of the Critical Zone across variable time scales informs concentration‐discharge relationships: Jemez River Basin Critical Zone Observatory (31 citations)
  • Concentration-Discharge Relations in the Critical Zone: Implications for Resolving Critical Zone Structure, Function, and Evolution (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Sedimentary rock

Louis A. Derry mainly investigates Soil water, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Soil science and Weathering. His research in the fields of Stream flow, Gulch and Drainage basin overlaps with other disciplines such as Mixing. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Photosynthesis, Soil pH, Basalt and Soil respiration.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bedrock and Clay minerals. His Bedrock research focuses on Snowmelt and how it relates to Groundwater. His Bulk soil study incorporates themes from Soil mineralogy, Subsoil, Mineral and Soil horizon.
