Aquatic and Environmental Studies
Aquatic and Environmental Studies is a research topic within Earth-Surface Processes. Science Explorer counts 13k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the numerical modeling and analysis of coastal hydrodynamic processes in shallow water basins, including sediment transport, wave processes, and ecological consequences. It also explores the development of ecosystem models, sustainable rehabilitation methods, and the environmental impact of anthropogenic activities in coastal areas.

Where is the best place to study Aquatic and Environmental Studies?
Among universities, judged by research, Don State Technical University, Lomonosov Moscow State University and Weatherford College score highest, combining excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.

Universities only. The score blends excellence (40%), size (30%), specialisation (10%), growth (10%), international reach (10%), 2022-now; growth compares 2018-21 with 2022-25 and counts up to +20%, since a jump from a small base is mostly noise.
Every institution in Aquatic and Environmental Studies, country by countryIs Aquatic and Environmental Studies research growing?
Output in 2022-2025 was 14% lower than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2021.
The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Aquatic and Environmental Studies as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0099% in 2024.
Fractional works of Aquatic and Environmental Studies over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
