Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Erosion

Patrick A. Hesp mainly focuses on Geomorphology, Foredune, Aeolian processes, Wind speed and Oceanography. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Turbulence and Vegetation. He works mostly in the field of Foredune, limiting it down to topics relating to Sediment transport and, in certain cases, Saltation, Wind stress and Wind direction, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Aeolian processes study also includes fields such as

  • Sediment which connect with Structural basin, Erosion and Channel,
  • Prevailing winds which connect with Storm. His Wind speed study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Traction and Fetch. His Oceanography study deals with Quaternary intersecting with Coastal geography, Pleistocene and Sedimentology.

His most cited work include:

  • Foredunes and blowouts: initiation, geomorphology and dynamics (485 citations)
  • Wave, beach and dune interactions in southeastern Australia (325 citations)
  • Ecological processes and plant adaptations on coastal dunes (287 citations)

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

Geomorphology, Foredune, Aeolian processes, Oceanography and Sediment transport are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Turbulence, Wind speed and Ridge. His research integrates issues of Hydrology, Storm, Beach morphodynamics and Vegetation in his study of Foredune.

His work in Aeolian processes tackles topics such as Flow which are related to areas like Computational fluid dynamics. His Holocene and Plage study, which is part of a larger body of work in Oceanography, is frequently linked to Breaking wave, bridging the gap between disciplines. He has included themes like Saltation and Fetch in his Sediment transport study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (35.19%)
  • Foredune (33.95%)
  • Aeolian processes (25.93%)

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

  • Physical geography (13.58%)
  • Foredune (33.95%)
  • Vegetation (17.28%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Physical geography, Foredune, Vegetation, Aeolian processes and Shore. His Foredune research incorporates themes from Storm, Ecology, Sedimentary budget, Front and Progradation. His studies in Vegetation integrate themes in fields like Deposition, Wind speed, Atmospheric sciences and Canopy.

His Aeolian processes research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Plateau and Sediment. Shore is a primary field of his research addressed under Oceanography. He combines subjects such as Sediment transport, Computational fluid dynamics, Geomorphology and Wind flow with his study of Flow.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sediment Budget Controls on Foredune Height: Comparing Simulation Model Results with Field Data (32 citations)
  • Wind flow and sedimentation in artificial vegetation: Field and wind tunnel experiments (16 citations)
  • Changes in vegetation cover on the Younghusband Peninsula transgressive dunefields (Australia) 1949-2017. (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Erosion

His primary scientific interests are in Vegetation, Foredune, Flow, Physical geography and Aeolian processes. The concepts of his Vegetation study are interwoven with issues in Wind speed, Atmospheric sciences, Wind tunnel and Peninsula. In his research, Patrick A. Hesp performs multidisciplinary study on Foredune and Dynamics.

His work carried out in the field of Physical geography brings together such families of science as Sand dune stabilization, Vegetation cover, Climate change, Longitude and Landform. His study in Aeolian processes is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sediment transport, Sediment, Sedimentary rock, Arid and Cooloola. His work deals with themes such as Oceanography and Shore, which intersect with Beach morphodynamics.
