Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Archaeology

Hydrology, Geomorphology, Sediment, Fluvial and Fluvial landforms of streams are her primary areas of study. In general Hydrology, her work in Ephemeral streams, Drainage and Flood control is often linked to Minimum-variance unbiased estimator and Relation linking many areas of study. The study of Geomorphology is intertwined with the study of STREAMS in a number of ways.

Her work in STREAMS tackles topics such as Flume which are related to areas like Bed load. Her study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Channel and Flow. Her studies deal with areas such as Structural basin, Overbank, River morphology, Channel capacity and Drainage network as well as Channel.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology (1965 citations)
  • The hydraulic geometry of stream channels and some physiographic implications (1682 citations)
  • Water in environmental planning (1667 citations)

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

Luna Bergere Leopold mainly focuses on Hydrology, Geomorphology, Climatology, Physical geography and Water resource management. Her Hydrology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Sediment. Her Sediment research incorporates elements of Mineralogy and STREAMS.

Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Communication channel and Geomorphology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Meteorology and Erosion in addition to Climatology. She has included themes like Flood control and Water supply in her Water resource management study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (30.40%)
  • Geomorphology (14.40%)
  • Climatology (8.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1985-2020)?

  • Hydrology (30.40%)
  • Geomorphology (14.40%)
  • Physical geography (8.00%)

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

Her main research concerns Hydrology, Geomorphology, Physical geography, Sediment and Bed load. Her Flood myth, Floodplain and Erosion study, which is part of a larger body of work in Hydrology, is frequently linked to Lag, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work on Fluvial, Fluvial landforms of streams and Fetch as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Deposition and Base, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Drainage basin, Terrace, Vigil, Snowmelt and Middle East. Her research integrates issues of Channel and Alluvium in her study of Sediment. As a part of the same scientific family, Luna Bergere Leopold mostly works in the field of Bed load, focusing on STREAMS and, on occasion, Flume, Sorting, Clastic rock, Mineralogy and Sediment transport.

Between 1985 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology (1498 citations)
  • A view of the river (532 citations)
  • Bedload transport of fine gravel observed by motion-picture photography (348 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Hydrology
  • Archaeology

Luna Bergere Leopold mainly investigates Sediment, Geomorphology, Hydrology, Bed load and Ecosystem. The concepts of her Sediment study are interwoven with issues in Natural, Alluvium and Environmental resource management. Her research integrates issues of Estuary, Flood tide and Communication channel in her study of Geomorphology.

Luna Bergere Leopold has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Tidal cycle and Mineralogy. Her studies in Bed load integrate themes in fields like Mechanics and STREAMS. Her research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Wilderness, Resource, Environmental protection, Nature Conservation and Environmental ethics.
