Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Groundwater

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Groundwater, Hydrology, Water quality and Weathering. His work deals with themes such as Soil water, Sediment, Nutrient and Mineralogy, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. Al. Ramanathan has researched Sediment in several fields, including Estuary and Mangrove.

His Groundwater study combines topics in areas such as Contamination and Environmental engineering. His Surface water study, which is part of a larger body of work in Hydrology, is frequently linked to Principal component analysis, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Weathering research incorporates elements of Carbonate minerals, Carbonate, Illite and Terrigenous sediment.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification and evaluation of hydrogeochemical processes in the groundwater environment of Delhi, India (284 citations)
  • A comparative evaluation of groundwater suitability for irrigation and drinking purposes in two intensively cultivated districts of Punjab, India (206 citations)
  • Geochemical assessment of groundwater quality in vicinity of Bhalswa landfill, Delhi, India, using graphical and multivariate statistical methods (140 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Al. Ramanathan mainly investigates Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Groundwater, Sediment and Glacier. His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Structural basin and Weathering. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Contamination, Mineralogy, Pollution and Trace metal.

His study in Groundwater is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water quality, Alluvium and Arsenic. Municipal solid waste is closely connected to Environmental engineering in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Water quality. Al. Ramanathan has researched Sediment in several fields, including Organic matter, Silt, Total organic carbon and Mangrove.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (34.04%)
  • Environmental chemistry (26.38%)
  • Groundwater (24.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Glacier (19.57%)
  • Hydrology (34.04%)
  • Groundwater (24.68%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Al. Ramanathan mostly deals with Glacier, Hydrology, Groundwater, Environmental chemistry and Sediment. The various areas that Al. Ramanathan examines in his Glacier study include Structural basin and Surface runoff. His study in Groundwater focuses on Aquifer in particular.

His Environmental chemistry research also works with subjects such as

  • Trace metal that connect with fields like Pollution and Enrichment factor,
  • Contamination and related Toxicology,
  • Organic matter which is related to area like Total organic carbon. As a part of the same scientific family, Al. Ramanathan mostly works in the field of Sediment, focusing on Mangrove and, on occasion, Estuary, Ecosystem, Oceanography and Nutrient. His work deals with themes such as Carbonate and Weathering, which intersect with Meltwater.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Arsenic and other elements in drinking water and dietary components from the middle Gangetic plain of Bihar, India: Health risk index. (95 citations)
  • A study of trace element contamination using multivariate statistical techniques and health risk assessment in groundwater of Chhaprola Industrial Area, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India (71 citations)
  • Assessment of groundwater quality of Lakshimpur district of Bangladesh using water quality indices, geostatistical methods, and multivariate analysis (59 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Groundwater

His scientific interests lie mostly in Groundwater, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Glacier and Contamination. His work in Aquifer and Groundwater chemistry is related to Groundwater. Al. Ramanathan combines subjects such as Carbonate and Meteoric water with his study of Aquifer.

His Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil water and Weathering. His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Trace metal, Illite, Sediment, Arsenic and Nutrient. His research integrates issues of Health risk assessment, Toxicology and Environmental engineering in his study of Contamination.
