Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Sediment
  • Erosion

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sediment, Hydrology, Drainage basin, Floodplain and Overbank. His study in the field of Sedimentation also crosses realms of Context. His work in Sedimentation addresses issues such as Sedimentary budget, which are connected to fields such as Aggradation.

The Hydrology study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Land use. His Drainage basin study incorporates themes from Channel bank, Tributary and Water resource management. His Channel bank research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin, Subsoil and Topsoil.

His most cited work include:

  • Fine-grained sediment in river systems : Environmental significance and management issues (402 citations)
  • Fingerprinting suspended sediment sources in the catchment of the River Ouse, Yorkshire, UK (271 citations)
  • Storage of sediment-associated nutrients and contaminants in river channel and floodplain systems (209 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Sediment, Hydrology, Drainage basin, Erosion and Floodplain. His Sediment research includes elements of Channel and Soil science. Philip N. Owens has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Structural basin and Soil water.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Drainage basin, Channel bank is strongly linked to Topsoil. His work deals with themes such as Geotechnical engineering and WEPP, which intersect with Erosion. He has included themes like Transect and Overbank in his Floodplain study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sediment (70.80%)
  • Hydrology (69.34%)
  • Drainage basin (42.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Sediment (70.80%)
  • Hydrology (69.34%)
  • Watershed (9.49%)

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

Philip N. Owens focuses on Sediment, Hydrology, Watershed, Soil science and Erosion. In his research, Philip N. Owens performs multidisciplinary study on Sediment and Tracing. His work in the fields of Drainage basin, Water quality and Tributary overlaps with other areas such as Tailings.

His study in Watershed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land use, Biogeochemical cycle and Topsoil. His research investigates the link between Erosion and topics such as Deposition that cross with problems in Floodplain. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedimentation, Environmental change, Grain size and Biogeochemistry.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The challenges and opportunities of addressing particle size effects in sediment source fingerprinting: a review. (107 citations)
  • Sources of variability in fatty acid (FA) biomarkers in the application of compound-specific stable isotopes (CSSIs) to soil and sediment fingerprinting and tracing: A review. (51 citations)
  • The role of soil surface properties on the particle size and carbon selectivity of interrill erosion in agricultural landscapes (45 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Erosion
  • Sediment

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Watershed and Soil science. His research combines Aquatic ecosystem and Hydrology. His Sediment research incorporates elements of Earth science, Glacier, Streamflow, Grain size and Biogeochemistry.

His Erosion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Storm, Meltwater, Glacial period, Sedimentary budget and Drainage basin. The concepts of his Drainage basin study are interwoven with issues in Channel, Sediment gravity flow, Biogeochemical cycle and Siltation. His Watershed study combines topics in areas such as Land use, Deposition, Soil water, Topsoil and Lead.
