Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

José Silvestre's research investigates the complex interplay between fluvial processes, delta formation, and sea-level change. His work utilizes theoretical models and experimental data to understand how factors such as river avulsions, marsh sedimentation, and sediment compaction influence delta morphology and stability. Silvestre has published on topics including the effect of sea-level change on river avulsions and stratigraphy in experimental delta systems, and how marsh sedimentation controls delta top morphology and mass balance. His research also explores the impact of variable flood discharge on organic carbon preservation in deltas and the influence of non-fluvial sedimentation on delta channel kinematics. Silvestre collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including John Shaw, Sam Zapp, and Kelly Sank, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 11 total publications and 84 total citations.
