OverviewAI-generated summary

John Shaw's research focuses on the morphodynamic modeling of river-dominated deltas and coastal channel networks. His work investigates the interplay of river and tidal forcings that promote loop formations within these systems. Shaw has also studied the influences on discharge partitioning on large river deltas, using the Mississippi-Atchafalaya Diversion as a case study. His research further examines how marsh sedimentation controls delta top morphology, slope, and mass balance, as well as marsh-induced backwater effects on a delta's channel morphology and kinematics. Additionally, he has explored coastal responses to global warming during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Shaw has published 121 works, with an h-index of 19 and over 1,600 citations. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including José Silvestre, Glenn R. Sharman, C. M. Hughes, and Barry Shaulis.
