Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Geomorphology
  • Climate change

Stephen A. Wolfe mainly focuses on Physical geography, Sand dune stabilization, Vegetation, Geomorphology and Aeolian processes. The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary rock, Permafrost, Climatology and Arid. His work is dedicated to discovering how Sand dune stabilization, Holocene are connected with Paleosol, Chronology, Radiocarbon dating, Quaternary and Hydrology and other disciplines.

Many of his research projects under Vegetation are closely connected to Stable state with Stable state, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cypress and Foothills in addition to Geomorphology. He interconnects Shear and Wind speed in the investigation of issues within Aeolian processes.

His most cited work include:

  • Biogeomorphic model of dunefield activation and stabilization on the northern Great Plains (99 citations)
  • SHEAR STRESS PARTITIONING IN SPARSELY VEGETATED DESERT CANOPIES (97 citations)
  • Late 18th century drought-induced sand dune activity, Great Sand Hills, Saskatchewan (89 citations)

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

His main research concerns Physical geography, Permafrost, Aeolian processes, Holocene and Geomorphology. His Physical geography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sand dune stabilization, Vegetation, Arctic and Taiga. His studies deal with areas such as Glacial lake, Climatology, Peat, Hydrology and Subarctic climate as well as Permafrost.

His studies examine the connections between Climatology and genetics, as well as such issues in Period, with regards to Wind power. His Aeolian processes research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Radiocarbon dating, Sediment, Alluvial fan, Loess and Optical dating. The various areas that Stephen A. Wolfe examines in his Geomorphology study include Ground ice and Ice stream.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physical geography (45.77%)
  • Permafrost (42.25%)
  • Aeolian processes (21.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Physical geography (45.77%)
  • Holocene (24.65%)
  • Aeolian processes (21.83%)

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

Stephen A. Wolfe focuses on Physical geography, Holocene, Aeolian processes, Arctic and Permafrost. In his study, Geomorphology is strongly linked to Ground ice, which falls under the umbrella field of Physical geography. His work focuses on many connections between Holocene and other disciplines, such as Fluvial, that overlap with his field of interest in Alluvial fan and Loess.

His research integrates issues of Climatology and Optical dating in his study of Aeolian processes. His Arctic research integrates issues from Coastal plain, Quaternary and Landform. His Permafrost study combines topics in areas such as Vulnerability index, Environmental resource management and Water resources.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New ground ice maps for Canada using a paleogeographic modelling approach (18 citations)
  • Evaluation of threshold freezing conditions for winter road construction over discontinuous permafrost peatlands, subarctic Canada (3 citations)
  • Oriented-lake development in the context of late Quaternary landscape evolution, McKinley Bay Coastal Plain, western Arctic Canada (2 citations)
