Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Roger J. Flower mostly deals with Ecology, Diatom, Sediment, Oceanography and Environmental change. Ecology is closely attributed to Metacommunity in his study. The Diatom study combines topics in areas such as Phytoplankton and Paleontology.

His Sediment research includes themes of Drainage basin, Afforestation, Environmental chemistry and Surface water. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Deposition and Lake water. His Environmental change research includes elements of Biodiversity and Wetland.

His most cited work include:

  • Historical processes constrain patterns in global diatom diversity. (228 citations)
  • Diatom evidence for recent acidification of two Scottish lochs (164 citations)
  • Looking forward through the past: Identification of 50 priority research questions in palaeoecology (148 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Sediment, Ecology, Diatom, Oceanography and Environmental change. He has included themes like Hydrology, Drainage basin and Environmental chemistry in his Sediment study. His studies examine the connections between Diatom and genetics, as well as such issues in Water quality, with regards to Water pollution.

His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Cartography, Phytoplankton and Snow. His Environmental change research focuses on Environmental protection and how it relates to China. His research integrates issues of Biodiversity and Aquatic ecosystem in his study of Ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sediment (33.18%)
  • Ecology (32.70%)
  • Diatom (27.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • China (7.58%)
  • Ecology (32.70%)
  • Sediment (33.18%)

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

Roger J. Flower spends much of his time researching China, Ecology, Sediment, Environmental protection and Holocene. His China research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pollution and Water resources. His Mediterranean climate, Environmental change, Habitat, Wetland and Tropical wetlands study are his primary interests in Ecology.

His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary rock, Water quality, Diatom, Oceanography and Heptachlor. His Diatom research incorporates themes from Climate change and Physical geography. His research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Ecology and Ecosystem.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Looking forward through the past: Identification of 50 priority research questions in palaeoecology (148 citations)
  • Global change revealed by palaeolimnological records from remote lakes : a review (122 citations)
  • Urban construction and demolition waste and landfill failure in Shenzhen, China (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Roger J. Flower mainly investigates China, Water resources, Environmental protection, Ecology and Government. Roger J. Flower combines subjects such as Enforcement, Pollution and Sustainable development with his study of China. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil Pollutants, Soil contamination, Water pollution and Soil chemistry.

The concepts of his Water resources study are interwoven with issues in Human settlement, Land use, Environmental resource management, Disturbance and Aquatic ecosystem. His Environmental protection study typically links adjacent topics like Water quality. Roger J. Flower performs integrative study on Ecology and Economic shortage in his works.
