Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

John Shaw, an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, researches the morphodynamics of river- and deltaic systems. His work investigates the interplay of river and tidal forcings in shaping coastal channel networks and explores influences on discharge partitioning in large river deltas. Shaw has also examined ancient channel-mouth bifurcation angles on Earth and Mars, and the response of coastal environments to global warming during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. His research considers how marsh sedimentation controls delta morphology, slope, and mass balance, and the dynamic constraints on loop formation in transport networks.

Shaw's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 19, 120 total publications, and 1,642 total citations. He has collaborated with several University of Arkansas faculty members, including José Silvestre (7 shared publications), Glenn R. Sharman (5 shared publications), C. M. Hughes (3 shared publications), and Barry Shaulis (2 shared publications).
