Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Groundwater
  • Hydrology

Avner Vengosh mainly investigates Groundwater, Aquifer, Seawater, Hydraulic fracturing and Geochemistry. His Groundwater study improves the overall literature in Hydrology. His Seawater study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Brackish water, Mineralogy and Isotopes of boron.

His study focuses on the intersection of Mineralogy and fields such as Environmental chemistry with connections in the field of Salinity. His Hydraulic fracturing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hydraulic Fracking, Produced water, Methane and Natural gas. He incorporates Geochemistry and Chemical composition in his studies.

His most cited work include:

  • Methane contamination of drinking water accompanying gas-well drilling and hydraulic fracturing (955 citations)
  • A Critical Review of the Risks to Water Resources from Unconventional Shale Gas Development and Hydraulic Fracturing in the United States (811 citations)
  • Increased stray gas abundance in a subset of drinking water wells near Marcellus shale gas extraction (424 citations)

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

Avner Vengosh spends much of his time researching Groundwater, Geochemistry, Environmental chemistry, Aquifer and Hydrology. The concepts of his Groundwater study are interwoven with issues in Salinity, Soil salinity, Environmental engineering, Hydraulic fracturing and Water quality. His study in Hydraulic fracturing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fossil fuel, Oil shale, Unconventional oil and Produced water.

His Geochemistry research incorporates elements of Seawater, Structural basin, Mineralogy and Methane. The study incorporates disciplines such as Coal combustion products, Fly ash, Contamination and Isotopes of strontium in addition to Environmental chemistry. His study in the field of Groundwater recharge is also linked to topics like Radium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Groundwater (42.92%)
  • Geochemistry (28.76%)
  • Environmental chemistry (26.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Groundwater (42.92%)
  • Environmental chemistry (26.61%)
  • Aquifer (25.75%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Groundwater, Environmental chemistry, Aquifer, Water quality and Hydraulic fracturing. Avner Vengosh has researched Groundwater in several fields, including Range, Geochemistry, Surface water and Diesel fuel. His Geochemistry study also includes

  • Seawater which connect with Meteoric water,
  • Petroleum most often made with reference to Methane.

The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Contamination, Fly ash and Isotopes of strontium. His Aquifer research integrates issues from Water well and Saline water. His Hydraulic fracturing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wastewater, Environmental engineering, Natural gas field, Natural gas and Water use.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The intensification of the water footprint of hydraulic fracturing. (64 citations)
  • Large-Scale Uranium Contamination of Groundwater Resources in India (41 citations)
  • The water footprint of hydraulic fracturing in Sichuan Basin, China. (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Groundwater
  • Agriculture

Avner Vengosh focuses on Groundwater, Aquifer, Geochemistry, Natural gas and Wastewater. His work deals with themes such as Water quality and Maximum Contaminant Level, which intersect with Aquifer. His research integrates issues of Seawater, Structural basin, Source rock and Methane in his study of Geochemistry.

His Natural gas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydraulic fracturing and Produced water. His Wastewater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Water use, Fossil fuel and Natural gas field. He works mostly in the field of Fossil fuel, limiting it down to topics relating to Waste treatment and, in certain cases, Environmental chemistry.
