Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Hydrology
  • Agriculture

Andrew W. Western spends much of his time researching Hydrology, Water content, Surface runoff, Soil science and Spatial ecology. His research investigates the connection between Hydrology and topics such as Geostatistics that intersect with problems in Aquifer. His Water content study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Terrain, Soil water, Variogram, Precipitation and Moisture.

His Surface runoff research focuses on subjects like Evapotranspiration, which are linked to Soil map. His Soil science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Scaling and Drainage. Within one scientific family, Andrew W. Western focuses on topics pertaining to Spatial variability under Spatial ecology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Data processing, Data assimilation and Remote sensing.

His most cited work include:

  • A review of paired catchment studies for determining changes in water yield resulting from alterations in vegetation (991 citations)
  • Observed spatial organization of soil moisture and its relation to terrain indices (612 citations)
  • Preferred states in spatial soil moisture patterns: Local and nonlocal controls (586 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Hydrology, Water content, Surface runoff, Drainage basin and Groundwater. Hydrology is a component of his Water resources, Water quality, Evapotranspiration, Water balance and Streamflow studies. The various areas that he examines in his Water resources study include Catchment hydrology, Vegetation and Surface water.

His study explores the link between Water content and topics such as Soil science that cross with problems in Spatial ecology. His research in Surface runoff focuses on subjects like Climate change, which are connected to Climatology. His Drainage basin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydrology, Land use and Water resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (50.73%)
  • Water content (24.45%)
  • Surface runoff (18.25%)

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

  • Hydrology (50.73%)
  • Water quality (9.49%)
  • Water resources (14.23%)

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

Andrew W. Western mostly deals with Hydrology, Water quality, Water resources, Drainage basin and Surface runoff. His Hydrology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Great barrier reef and Statistical model. Andrew W. Western has included themes like Environmental resource management, Groundwater, Water balance, Sustainability and Groundwater recharge in his Water resources study.

His work deals with themes such as Nutrient and Physical geography, which intersect with Drainage basin. As part of the same scientific family, Andrew W. Western usually focuses on Surface runoff, concentrating on Climate change and intersecting with Climatology, Precipitation, Calibration and Catchment hydrology. The Streamflow study combines topics in areas such as Base flow, Range, Data assimilation and Water content.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Simulating runoff under changing climatic conditions: Revisiting an apparent deficiency of conceptual rainfall-runoff models (79 citations)
  • Key factors influencing differences in stream water quality across space (65 citations)
  • Predicting shifts in rainfall‐runoff partitioning during multiyear drought: Roles of dry period and catchment characteristics (39 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Water resources, Streamflow, Calibration, Hydrology and Climate change. His study in Water resources is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land use, Groundwater, Water quality, Water balance and Social system. As part of one scientific family, Andrew W. Western deals mainly with the area of Water balance, narrowing it down to issues related to the Groundwater recharge, and often Evapotranspiration.

His Streamflow research integrates issues from Range and Water content. His Water content research includes elements of Spatial ecology and Data assimilation. His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Econometrics, Precipitation, Mean squared error, Mathematical optimization and Surface runoff.
