Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Climate change

Todd A. Ehlers focuses on Geomorphology, Thermochronology, Tectonics, Erosion and Fission track dating. His studies deal with areas such as Volcano and Transect as well as Geomorphology. His Thermochronology study is within the categories of Zircon, Paleontology and Geochemistry.

The concepts of his Paleontology study are interwoven with issues in Atmospheric circulation, Paleoclimatology and Data science. His Tectonics study incorporates themes from Fault, Structural geology and Closure temperature. He works mostly in the field of Erosion, limiting it down to topics relating to Physical geography and, in certain cases, Glacial period, Range and Denudation, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Apatite (U–Th)/He thermochronometry: methods and applications to problems in tectonic and surface processes (395 citations)
  • Worldwide acceleration of mountain erosion under a cooling climate (263 citations)
  • Coupled spatial variations in precipitation and long-term erosion rates across the Washington Cascades (236 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geomorphology, Paleontology, Thermochronology, Erosion and Glacial period. His Geomorphology research includes themes of Denudation, Tectonics and Fission track dating. His work focuses on many connections between Paleontology and other disciplines, such as Plateau, that overlap with his field of interest in Climatology.

His Thermochronology research integrates issues from Structural basin and Transect. His Erosion study which covers Physical geography that intersects with Bedrock and Paleoclimatology. His work in Glacial period tackles topics such as Ice shelf which are related to areas like Bathymetry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geomorphology (30.24%)
  • Paleontology (24.05%)
  • Thermochronology (21.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (24.05%)
  • Thermochronology (21.65%)
  • Physical geography (16.15%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Thermochronology, Physical geography, Tectonics and Environmental science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Foreland basin, Transect and Borehole. The various areas that Todd A. Ehlers examines in his Physical geography study include Denudation, Sediment, Erosion and Paleoclimatology.

Todd A. Ehlers works mostly in the field of Paleoclimatology, limiting it down to topics relating to Climate model and, in certain cases, Climatology. His Tectonics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Zircon. Ice sheet is a subfield of Geomorphology that he explores.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pedogenic and microbial interrelations to regional climate and local topography : New insights from a climate gradient (arid to humid) along the Coastal Cordillera of Chile (30 citations)
  • Chemistry and microbiology of the Critical Zone along a steep climate and vegetation gradient in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera. (22 citations)
  • Addressing the contribution of climate and vegetation cover on hillslope denudation, Chilean Coastal Cordillera (26◦–38◦S) (20 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

Todd A. Ehlers mostly deals with Tectonics, Glacial period, Physical geography, Paleontology and Thermochronology. His studies in Tectonics integrate themes in fields like Sediment, Erosion and Latitude. The Glacial period study combines topics in areas such as Triple junction, Climate change, Ice shelf and Forcing.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arid and Denudation. Paleontology is closely attributed to Plateau in his work. He combines subjects such as Foreland basin and Lithology with his study of Thermochronology.
