OverviewAI-generated summary

José Silvestre's research investigates the impact of sea-level rise and related environmental changes on river systems and coastal deltas. His work examines how factors such as river avulsion, marsh sedimentation, and sediment compaction influence delta morphology, stratigraphy, and mass balance. Silvestre has published on the expected extensive land loss on coastal deltas resulting from rivers changing course during periods of rising sea levels. He also studies the role of variable flood discharge in preserving autochthonous organic carbon within deltas, drawing insights from physical experiments. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4 and 12 total publications with 95 citations. Silvestre has collaborated with John Shaw, Sam Zapp, and Kelly Sank, all affiliated with the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
