Arthur Beusen’s indexed work centers on global-scale modeling of nutrient transport from land to ocean, with a particular focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and silica. His first-author study quantifying global riverine nitrogen and phosphorus transport to the ocean during the 20th century (2016, 559 citations) demonstrated that increased retention along aquatic systems did not prevent a dramatic rise in coastal nutrient loads. He also led work on scenario analysis of phosphorus demand from 1970–2100 (2010, 696 citations), which assessed resource depletion trajectories, and developed a spatially explicit model for estimating global river transport of sediments and associated particulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (2005, 309 citations). These contributions establish a core research thread linking watershed nutrient budgets to coastal zone impacts. Beyond his lead-author portfolio, Beusen contributed to foundational land-use and nutrient databases, including the HYDE 3.1 and 3.2 spatially explicit reconstructions of human-induced land-use change over 12,000 years (2010, 1,345 citations; 2017, 1,207 citations), which underpin many Earth-system models. He was also a co-author on the widely cited Global Nutrient Export from Watersheds (NEWS) models (2005, 774 citations) and on analyses of livestock-driven changes in nitrogen and phosphorus cycles (2011, 1,051 citations). Across these works, Beusen’s research consistently integrates hydrological, agricultural, and biogeochemical processes to quantify how human activities alter nutrient fluxes from continents to coastal seas.
