Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

His primary scientific interests are in Reef, Oceanography, Coral reef, Atoll and Shore. Paul S. Kench works mostly in the field of Reef, limiting it down to topics relating to Coral and, in certain cases, Storm. His work on Sea level and Accretion as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to Vertical growth, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental change and Swell in addition to Coral reef. His work carried out in the field of Atoll brings together such families of science as Period, Sediment, Geomorphology, Current and Monsoon. His Shore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climate change, Landform and Progradation.

His most cited work include:

  • The dynamic response of reef islands to sea-level rise: Evidence from multi-decadal analysis of island change in the Central Pacific (265 citations)
  • Caribbean-wide decline in carbonate production threatens coral reef growth (198 citations)
  • Wave Processes on Coral Reef Flats: Implications for Reef Geomorphology Using Australian Case Studies (149 citations)

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

Oceanography, Reef, Coral reef, Atoll and Shore are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Sediment transport, Beach morphodynamics and Geomorphology, which intersect with Oceanography. Reef is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology.

His Atoll research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Period, Climate change and Archipelago. His Shore research includes elements of Seismology, Flooding and Wave height. His Sea level research integrates issues from Past sea level, Holocene and Progradation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (81.43%)
  • Reef (71.43%)
  • Coral reef (49.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Oceanography (81.43%)
  • Reef (71.43%)
  • Coral reef (49.29%)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Reef, Coral reef, Sea level and Atoll. Many of his studies on Oceanography apply to Paleoecology as well. His Reef study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Beach morphodynamics and Holocene.

His research integrates issues of Natural, Flooding, Sedimentary rock, Sediment and Landform in his study of Coral reef. His Sea level study combines topics in areas such as Climate change and Coral. His study in Atoll is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Paleontology and Shore, Accretion.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Adaptation to sea level rise on low coral islands: Lessons from recent events (17 citations)
  • Physical modelling of the response of reef islands to sea-level rise (15 citations)
  • Physical modelling of the response of reef islands to sea-level rise (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

Paul S. Kench focuses on Oceanography, Reef, Coral reef, Physical modelling and Sea level rise. Paul S. Kench frequently studies issues relating to Paleoecology and Oceanography. His research in Reef intersects with topics in Sediment transport, Sediment, Sedimentary rock, Shore and Benthic zone.

His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Natural, Flooding and Landform. Coral reef is frequently linked to Indian ocean in his study.
