Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

Thomas W. D. Edwards spends much of his time researching Hydrology, Holocene, Physical geography, Water balance and Tundra. His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Humidity and δ18O. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Boreal, Atmospheric circulation, Climatology and Taiga.

He focuses mostly in the field of Physical geography, narrowing it down to matters related to Isotopes of oxygen and, in some cases, Isotopes of carbon, Sedimentary rock, Sediment and Environmental chemistry. He works mostly in the field of Water balance, limiting it down to topics relating to Drainage basin and, in certain cases, Permafrost and Watershed. His studies in Floodplain integrate themes in fields like Snow, Snowmelt and Delta.

His most cited work include:

  • Holocene treeline history and climate change across northern Eurasia (303 citations)
  • Rapid response of treeline vegetation and lakes to past climate warming (279 citations)
  • Effect of Treatment With Zileuton, a 5-Lipoxygenase Inhibitor, in Patients With Asthma: A Randomized Controlled Trial (237 citations)

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

Thomas W. D. Edwards mainly focuses on Hydrology, Holocene, Climate change, Delta and Oceanography. His research integrates issues of Boreal, Radiocarbon dating, δ18O, Physical geography and Isotopes of oxygen in his study of Holocene. Thomas W. D. Edwards combines subjects such as Atmospheric circulation and Vegetation with his study of Climate change.

His study in Delta is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Flood myth, Floodplain, Flooding and Oil sands. The concepts of his Oceanography study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentology, Sediment and Aragonite. He interconnects Hydrology and Surface water in the investigation of issues within Drainage basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (38.26%)
  • Holocene (23.48%)
  • Climate change (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Hydrology (38.26%)
  • Climate change (20.00%)
  • Delta (20.87%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Climate change, Delta, Surface runoff and Earth science. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Humidity, Thermokarst and Precipitation. His Climate change research incorporates elements of Drainage basin, Water balance and Arctic.

His Delta research includes elements of Climatology, Oil sands, Ecosystem and Paleolimnology. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Physical geography, Paleoclimatology and Holocene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Snow, Discharge and δ18O in addition to Surface runoff.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Science-policy processes for transboundary water governance. (76 citations)
  • Has Alberta Oil Sands Development Altered Delivery of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds to the Peace-Athabasca Delta? (61 citations)
  • Interpreting Past Climate from Stable Isotopes in Continental Organic Matter (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

Thomas W. D. Edwards mostly deals with Hydrology, Surface runoff, Climate change, Earth science and Delta. His work deals with themes such as Humidity, Water mass and Precipitation, which intersect with Hydrology. The various areas that Thomas W. D. Edwards examines in his Surface runoff study include Water use and Watershed.

Many of his research projects under Climate change are closely connected to Land cover with Land cover, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Earth science research incorporates themes from Deposition, Sediment, Sediment core, Contamination and Ecosystem. In his study, Tributary, Environmental monitoring and Paleolimnology is inextricably linked to Oil sands, which falls within the broad field of Delta.
