Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Oceanography
  • Sediment

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Sediment, Glacier, Sedimentation and Glacial period. His studies in Holocene, Arctic, Iceberg, Sea ice and Ice shelf are all subfields of Oceanography research. His Sediment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Sedimentology and Turbidity current.

Robert Gilbert combines subjects such as Aerial photography, Fjord and Fluvial with his study of Glacier. In his work, Climate change is strongly intertwined with Varve, which is a subfield of Sedimentation. His research links Ice stream with Glacial period.

His most cited work include:

  • Stability of the Larsen B ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene epoch (247 citations)
  • Proglacial Fluvial and Lacustrine Environments (190 citations)
  • Holocene history of the Larsen-A Ice Shelf constrained by geomagnetic paleointensity dating (110 citations)

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

Robert Gilbert mainly focuses on Oceanography, Sediment, Sedimentary rock, Glacial period and Geomorphology. Oceanography is closely attributed to Glacier in his study. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology and Turbidity current.

His study in Sedimentary rock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin, Glaciolacustrine deposits, Rhythmite and Peninsula. His work carried out in the field of Glacial period brings together such families of science as Bottom water, Continental shelf and Pleistocene. His Geomorphology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quaternary and Water column.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (48.04%)
  • Sediment (41.18%)
  • Sedimentary rock (28.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2017)?

  • Sediment (41.18%)
  • Hydrology (18.63%)
  • Oceanography (48.04%)

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

His main research concerns Sediment, Hydrology, Oceanography, Glacier and Sedimentary rock. Sediment is represented through his Varve and Sedimentation research. His research integrates issues of Turbidity current and Clastic rock in his study of Hydrology.

As part of his studies on Oceanography, he often connects relevant subjects like Physical geography. His studies deal with areas such as Drainage basin, Sedimentology and Progradation as well as Glacier. The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural, River mouth, Peninsula and Future sea level in addition to Sedimentary rock.

Between 2006 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Glaciolacustrine varved sediment as an alpine hydroclimatic proxy (64 citations)
  • Reconstructing morphometric change in a proglacial landscape using historical aerial photography and automated DEM generation (58 citations)
  • Marine Sedimentary Record of Natural Environmental Variability and Recent Warming in the Antarctic Peninsula (47 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Oceanography
  • Erosion

Sedimentary rock, Hydrology, Glacier, Sediment and Oceanography are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sediment concentration, Discharge, River mouth and Diurnal range. His Hydrology research includes elements of Sedimentology, Climate change, Physical geography and Turbidity current.

His Glacier mass balance and Moraine study in the realm of Glacier connects with subjects such as Photogrammetry and Photography. The various areas that Robert Gilbert examines in his Sediment study include Proxy and Fluvial. His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Natural and Peninsula.
