2017 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Sedimentary rock

Geomorphology, Sediment transport, Hydrology, Fluvial and Erosion are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Flood myth and Groundwater sapping. His research integrates issues of Drainage basin, Geotechnical engineering and Flow velocity in his study of Sediment transport.

His Hydrology research focuses on Plume and how it relates to Beach morphodynamics and River mouth. His Fluvial research includes elements of Sediment gravity flow and Debris flow. His Erosion research includes themes of Sedimentary rock and Mars Exploration Program.

His most cited work include:

  • Deposition, exhumation, and paleoclimate of an ancient lake deposit, Gale crater, Mars. (313 citations)
  • Is the critical Shields stress for incipient sediment motion dependent on channel‐bed slope? (302 citations)
  • A model for fluvial bedrock incision by impacting suspended and bed load sediment (158 citations)

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

Michael P. Lamb mainly investigates Geomorphology, Mars Exploration Program, Sediment transport, Bedrock and Hydrology. His study looks at the relationship between Geomorphology and fields such as Flume, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research investigates the connection between Mars Exploration Program and topics such as Sedimentary rock that intersect with issues in Earth science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Parasitic drag, Soil science and Grain size in addition to Sediment transport. The concepts of his Bedrock study are interwoven with issues in Landslide, Alluvium and Tectonics. In general Hydrology, his work in Hydrology is often linked to River delta and Hydraulics linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (40.98%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (21.72%)
  • Sediment transport (20.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geomorphology (40.98%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (21.72%)
  • Bedrock (18.44%)

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

Michael P. Lamb mostly deals with Geomorphology, Mars Exploration Program, Bedrock, Fluvial and Hydrology. His work on Avulsion as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to River delta, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Mars Exploration Program research incorporates elements of Sedimentary depositional environment and Geochemistry.

His work deals with themes such as Sediment, Erosion and Rockfall, which intersect with Bedrock. His study in the fields of Sediment transport under the domain of Sediment overlaps with other disciplines such as Carbon cycle. His Fluvial research incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Caprock, Ridge and Earth science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evidence for plunging river plume deposits in the Pahrump Hills member of the Murray formation, Gale crater, Mars (34 citations)
  • The Seismic Signature of Debris Flows: Flow Mechanics and Early Warning at Montecito, California (31 citations)
  • Similarity of stream width distributions across headwater systems. (31 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary scientific interests are in Sediment transport, Geomorphology, Flume, Mars Exploration Program and Martian. His research in Sediment transport intersects with topics in Bedrock, Soil science, Silt and Carbonate. In his works, Michael P. Lamb performs multidisciplinary study on Geomorphology and River delta.

In his study, Stratigraphy, Tectonics and Sedimentary rock is strongly linked to Sea level, which falls under the umbrella field of Flume. His studies deal with areas such as Aquifer and Regolith as well as Mars Exploration Program. The Hydrology study which covers Landslide that intersects with Erosion.
