What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Erosion
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
His primary areas of study are Soil water, Hydrology, Surface runoff, Erosion and Infiltration.
His work on Soil retrogression and degradation as part of general Soil water study is frequently connected to Relative humidity, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
The various areas that Richard A. Shakesby examines in his Hydrology study include Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus pinaster and Fire regime.
His Surface runoff research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Storm, Structural basin, Soil test, Soil texture and Bedrock.
While the research belongs to areas of Erosion, he spends his time largely on the problem of Soil fertility, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Vegetation.
His Water content research includes elements of Soil science, Plant growth, Streamflow, Soil management and Hydrology.
His most cited work include:
- Soil water repellency: its causes, characteristics and hydro-geomorphological significance (1113 citations)
- Wildfire as a hydrological and geomorphological agent (755 citations)
- Post-wildfire soil erosion in the Mediterranean: Review and future research directions (363 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Richard A. Shakesby focuses on Hydrology, Soil water, Surface runoff, Erosion and Geomorphology.
Richard A. Shakesby interconnects Soil classification, Mediterranean climate and Sediment in the investigation of issues within Hydrology.
His Soil water research includes themes of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus, Vegetation and Water content.
His Surface runoff study combines topics in areas such as Storm, Forestry and Environmental resource management.
His Erosion study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil organic matter, Ecosystem and Soil retrogression and degradation.
His work deals with themes such as Debris and Holocene, which intersect with Geomorphology.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Surface runoff, Erosion, Mediterranean climate and Soil water.
His study in Hydrology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Sediment and Carbon flux.
His research investigates the connection between Surface runoff and topics such as Environmental resource management that intersect with problems in Debris flow, Fire frequency and Marine research.
His research in Erosion intersects with topics in Mulch, Ecosystem and Soil retrogression and degradation.
His Mediterranean climate research incorporates themes from Drainage basin, Shrubland, Soil quality and Water content.
His Soil water study improves the overall literature in Soil science.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Current research issues related to post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes (282 citations)
- Impacts of prescribed fire on soil loss and soil quality: An assessment based on an experimentally-burned catchment in central Portugal (45 citations)
- Carbon loads, forms and sequestration potential within ash deposits produced by wildfire: new insights from the 2009 ‘Black Saturday’ fires, Australia (39 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
