Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Sediment
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

His primary areas of investigation include Holocene, Oceanography, Sediment, Progradation and River delta. His research on Holocene concerns the broader Paleontology. His Paleontology research focuses on Sea level and how it connects with Aggradation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Floodplain and Borehole in addition to Oceanography. His research in Sediment intersects with topics in Hydrology, Drainage basin and Channel. His research in Progradation tackles topics such as Fluvial which are related to areas like Beach morphodynamics.

His most cited work include:

  • Sinking deltas due to human activities (1209 citations)
  • Stepwise decreases of the Huanghe (Yellow River) sediment load (1950–2005): Impacts of climate change and human activities (478 citations)
  • Morphodynamics of deltas under the influence of humans (431 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Holocene, Sediment, River delta and Sedimentary rock. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pleistocene, Sea level, Physical geography and Geomorphology. His Sediment research integrates issues from Hydrology, Sedimentary depositional environment and Geochemistry.

His Hydrology research includes themes of Sedimentary budget, Shore and Mekong river. In his research on the topic of Sedimentary depositional environment, Transition zone is strongly related with Fluvial. The various areas that Yoshiki Saito examines in his Sedimentary rock study include Deposition and Facies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (53.53%)
  • Holocene (51.30%)
  • Sediment (46.84%)

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

  • Holocene (51.30%)
  • Fluvial (31.60%)
  • Sediment (46.84%)

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

His main research concerns Holocene, Fluvial, Sediment, Oceanography and Sea level. The concepts of his Holocene study are interwoven with issues in Period, Climate change and Physical geography. His Fluvial research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary depositional environment and Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry, Transition zone.

His work carried out in the field of Sediment brings together such families of science as Hydrology and Coastal erosion. When carried out as part of a general Oceanography research project, his work on Bay, China sea and Winter monsoon is frequently linked to work in Particle-size distribution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Sea level research includes elements of Estuary, Paleoclimatology and Pleistocene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Three-dimensional evolution of the Yangtze River mouth, China during the Holocene: impacts of sea level, climate and human activity (42 citations)
  • Three-dimensional evolution of the Yangtze River mouth, China during the Holocene: impacts of sea level, climate and human activity (42 citations)
  • Matching trends in channel width, sinuosity, and depth along the fluvial to marine transition zone of tide-dominated river deltas: The need for a revision of depositional and hydraulic models (28 citations)

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

  • Sediment
  • Erosion
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Fluvial, Sediment, Holocene, Transition zone and Hydrology. His Sediment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coastal erosion and Oceanography. He interconnects Regressive delta and River mouth in the investigation of issues within Oceanography.

His studies deal with areas such as Drainage basin, Sea level, Physical geography and Transgressive as well as Holocene. He has researched Transition zone in several fields, including Sedimentary depositional environment and Mekong river. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Storm, Climate change, China and Siltation.
