Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Sediment
  • Erosion

Peter Richard Wilcock focuses on Sediment, Grain size, Soil science, Shear stress and Flume. His research on Sediment frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Hydrology. His work in the fields of Hydrology, such as Erosion, Channel, Surface runoff and Tributary, overlaps with other areas such as River delta.

His work in Grain size covers topics such as Flow which are related to areas like Dredging, Environmental engineering, Communication channel and Management by objectives. His Soil science research focuses on Scaling and how it connects with Fluvial. His Flume research incorporates elements of Flow strength and Sorting.

His most cited work include:

  • Surface-based Transport Model for Mixed-Size Sediment (563 citations)
  • Mountaintop mining consequences (413 citations)
  • Surface-based Fractional Transport Rates: Mobilization Thresholds and Partial Transport of a Sand-gravel Sediment (306 citations)

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

Peter Richard Wilcock mainly focuses on Hydrology, Sediment, Sediment transport, Geomorphology and Geotechnical engineering. His Hydrology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Sedimentary budget. His Sediment research integrates issues from Soil science, Shear stress, Flow, Flume and Grain size.

His work in the fields of Bedform overlaps with other areas such as Elevation. His work on Bed load expands to the thematically related Geotechnical engineering. Peter Richard Wilcock interconnects Deposition and Flood myth in the investigation of issues within Channel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (60.00%)
  • Sediment (47.37%)
  • Sediment transport (25.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Hydrology (60.00%)
  • Sediment (47.37%)
  • Watershed (5.26%)

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

His main research concerns Hydrology, Sediment, Watershed, Drainage basin and Sediment transport. His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Land cover, Flow and Water resource management. When carried out as part of a general Sediment research project, his work on Sedimentary budget is frequently linked to work in Elevation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Peter Richard Wilcock combines subjects such as Geotechnical engineering, Grain size and Propagation of uncertainty with his study of Sediment transport. His Grain size research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Potential flow, Suspended load and Flume. Peter Richard Wilcock has researched Geomorphology in several fields, including River network, Soil science and Shear stress.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Decline of the world's saline lakes (147 citations)
  • Changes in floodplain inundation under nonstationary hydrology for an adjustable, alluvial river channel (32 citations)
  • Upland sediment supply and its relation to watershed sediment delivery in the contemporary mid-Atlantic Piedmont (U.S.A.) (32 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Erosion
  • Hydrology

Peter Richard Wilcock mainly investigates Hydrology, Sediment, Channel, Watershed and Sediment transport. Peter Richard Wilcock has included themes like Desiccation, Flow and Recreation in his Hydrology study. His Sediment study incorporates themes from Soil science, Probability density function, Drainage basin, River network and Communication channel.

His Channel research incorporates elements of Floodplain, Hydrology and Fluvial. The Watershed study combines topics in areas such as Land cover and Erosion. His Sediment transport research entails a greater understanding of Geomorphology.
