What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sediment
- Erosion
- Sedimentary rock
His primary scientific interests are in Geomorphology, Sediment, Geochemistry, Sediment transport and Levee.
His research related to Sedimentology and Thalweg might be considered part of Geomorphology.
His Sediment research includes themes of Hydrology, Meltwater and Dolomite.
While the research belongs to areas of Geochemistry, Norman D. Smith spends his time largely on the problem of Sedimentary depositional environment, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Facies, Clastic rock, Conglomerate and Bed load.
His Levee study combines topics in areas such as Floodplain, Moraine, Alluvium, Alluvial fan and Crevasse.
His Alluvium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Silt, Aggradation and Overbank.
His most cited work include:
- Anatomy of an avulsion (435 citations)
- RIVER AVULSIONS AND THEIR DEPOSITS (402 citations)
- Sedimentology and Bar Formation in the Upper Kicking Horse River, a Braided Outwash Stream (293 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geomorphology, Sediment, Hydrology, Floodplain and Alluvium.
His Geomorphology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Levee.
His Sediment research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Glacier, Meltwater and Sedimentary depositional environment.
His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Bed load, Sediment transport and Sedimentation.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Avulsion and Meander.
Norman D. Smith interconnects Peat and Progradation in the investigation of issues within Alluvium.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (56.16%)
- Sediment (36.99%)
- Hydrology (34.25%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Norman D. Smith mainly investigates Geomorphology, Hydrology, Floodplain, Sediment and Erosion.
His biological study focuses on Sedimentary depositional environment.
His studies in Floodplain integrate themes in fields like Compaction, Alluvium, Deposition, Levee and Subsidence.
His research integrates issues of Flood myth, Crevasse splay and Crevasse in his study of Levee.
His research in Sediment intersects with topics in Avulsion and Aggradation.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Erosion, Suspended load, Debris and Sediment transport is strongly linked to Glacier.
Between 2004 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Sediment production and transport in a proglacial stream: Hilda Glacier, Alberta, Canada (80 citations)
- Controls on natural levée development in the Columbia River, British Columbia, Canada (45 citations)
- Bay sedimentation as controlled by regional crustal behaviour, local tectonics and eustatic sea-level changes: Coquimbo Formation (Miocene Pliocene), Bay of Tongoy, central Chile (39 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sediment
- Erosion
- Sedimentary rock
Norman D. Smith mainly focuses on Hydrology, Geomorphology, Floodplain, Subsidence and Sediment.
He regularly links together related areas like Glacier in his Hydrology studies.
Norman D. Smith brings together Geomorphology and Oceanic plateau to produce work in his papers.
Norman D. Smith has included themes like Soil compaction and Levee in his Floodplain study.
His Subsidence research integrates issues from Compaction, Alluvium, Peat, Marsh and Alluvial plain.
The various areas that Norman D. Smith examines in his Sediment study include Silt, Erosion and Aggradation.
