Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Sedimentary rock

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Holocene, Hydrology, Oceanography, Sediment and Geomorphology. Zhongyuan Chen combines subjects such as Silt, Radiocarbon dating, Habitat, Fluvial and Quaternary with his study of Holocene. His Hydrology research includes elements of Structural basin and Aggradation.

Many of his research projects under Oceanography are closely connected to Eutrophication with Eutrophication, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Zhongyuan Chen specializes in Sediment, namely River mouth. Within one scientific family, Zhongyuan Chen focuses on topics pertaining to Estuary under Drainage basin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Red tide, Ecosystem, Diatom and Nitrate.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-term variations in dissolved silicate, nitrogen, and phosphorus flux from the Yangtze River into the East China Sea and impacts on estuarine ecosystem (298 citations)
  • Low concentration of heavy metals in the Yangtze estuarine sediments, China: a diluting setting (143 citations)
  • Late Quaternary evolution of the sub-aqueous Yangtze Delta, China: sedimentation, stratigraphy, palynology, and deformation (128 citations)

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

His main research concerns Holocene, Hydrology, Sediment, Sedimentary rock and Geomorphology. His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quaternary, Sea level and Fluvial. Zhongyuan Chen interconnects Estuary, Sediment transport and Far East in the investigation of issues within Hydrology.

His study focuses on the intersection of Sediment and fields such as Structural basin with connections in the field of China and Shore. His research in Sedimentary rock intersects with topics in Sedimentary depositional environment, Shoal and Facies. The various areas that Zhongyuan Chen examines in his Geomorphology study include Yangtze river, Geochemistry, Hydrology and Flow velocity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Holocene (36.28%)
  • Hydrology (32.74%)
  • Sediment (28.32%)

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

  • Holocene (36.28%)
  • Geochemistry (13.27%)
  • Sediment (28.32%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Holocene, Geochemistry, Sediment, Sedimentary rock and Bay. Paleontology and Oceanography are the focus of his Holocene studies. His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Monsoon and Optically stimulated luminescence.

His research in Sediment is mostly concerned with Sediment transport. His research investigates the connection with Foraminifera and areas like Fluvial which intersect with concerns in Estuary. His Estuary research incorporates themes from Hydrology and Discharge.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human impacts on sediment in the Yangtze River: A review and new perspectives (65 citations)
  • The chronology of a sediment core from incised valley of the Yangtze River delta: Comparative OSL and AMS 14 C dating (21 citations)
  • Optical dating of Holocene sediments from the Yangtze River (Changjiang) Delta, China (19 citations)

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

  • Erosion
  • Sediment
  • Sedimentary rock

Zhongyuan Chen spends much of his time researching Optically stimulated luminescence, Geochemistry, Sediment, Holocene and Sedimentary rock. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrology, Structural basin and Period. His study with Holocene involves better knowledge in Oceanography.

His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Accelerator mass spectrometry, Radiocarbon dating, Provenance, Deglaciation and Facies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bay, Progradation, Coastal plain and Physical geography, Sea level. His study in Estuary is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Floodplain, Fluvial, Foraminifera, Water mass and Alluvial plain.
