Overview

R.J. Uncles is a researcher affiliated with the Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the United Kingdom, specializing in Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work spans multiple subfields, including Earth-Surface Processes, Oceanography, Atmospheric Science, Ecology, and Sociology and Political Science.

Their research primarily focuses on topics related to Geological formations and processes, Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes, Coastal and Marine Dynamics, Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Hydrology and Sediment Transport Processes, Climate Change, Adaptation, Migration, and Tropical and Extratropical Cyclones Research.

Uncles has contributed to several publications in notable venues. These include:

  • Estuaries and Coasts (2 publications)
  • Elsevier eBooks (1 publication)

Their recent papers feature detailed studies on estuarine and coastal processes. Notable papers are:

  • Small-Scale Surface Fronts in Estuaries - A Review, 2023, Elsevier eBooks
  • Note on a Surface-Film Delineated Lateral Front at the Head of a Shallow Tidal Creek, 2023, Estuaries and Coasts
  • Correction: Note on a Surface-Film Delineated Lateral Front at the Head of a Shallow Tidal Creek, 2024, Estuaries and Coasts

Collaborative work features several frequent co-authors including Steve Mitchell, Stephen G. Monismith, Burg Flemming, J.D. Hansom, and Ricardo Torres, each contributing to different projects alongside Uncles.
