What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Law
- Sedimentary rock
Orrin H. Pilkey focuses on Oceanography, Shore, Barrier island, Continental shelf and Sea level.
The Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Aeolian processes and Continental margin.
His Shore research incorporates elements of Coastal engineering and Physical geography.
His study in Barrier island is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Storm and Beach nourishment, Inlet, Erosion, Geomorphology.
His research on Continental shelf also deals with topics like
- Sedimentary rock and related Calcite,
- Sedimentary depositional environment which connect with Facies and Coastal zone.
His Sea level research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cape, Radiocarbon dating and Quaternary.
His most cited work include:
- Sea-level rise and shoreline retreat: time to abandon the Bruun Rule (306 citations)
- Useless Arithmetic: Why Environmental Scientists Can't Predict the Future (213 citations)
- Shelf sediment transport : process and pattern (193 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Orrin H. Pilkey spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Shore, Barrier island, Sediment and Continental shelf.
Orrin H. Pilkey works mostly in the field of Oceanography, limiting it down to concerns involving Sedimentation and, occasionally, River mouth.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Storm, Sea level rise and Environmental protection.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Landform, Inlet, Fetch and Mangrove in addition to Barrier island.
Geomorphology covers he research in Sediment.
His studies examine the connections between Continental shelf and genetics, as well as such issues in Continental margin, with regards to Geochemistry.
