Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Water quality

David Kay mainly investigates Hydrology, Water quality, Environmental health, Drainage basin and Sewage. His work on STREAMS, Fecal coliform and Faecal indicator as part of general Hydrology research is often related to Entrainment, thus linking different fields of science. He has included themes like Water pollution and Environmental planning in his Water quality study.

The Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Meta-analysis, Sanitation, Surgery and Water supply. His work in the fields of Sanitation, such as Community-led total sanitation, intersects with other areas such as Psychological intervention. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Veterinary medicine, Sewerage, Epidemiology and Water resource management.

His most cited work include:

  • Water sanitation and hygiene interventions to reduce diarrhoea in less developed countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (1211 citations)
  • Estimating the burden of disease from water, sanitation, and hygiene at a global level (595 citations)
  • Detection of widespread fluids in the Tibetan crust by magnetotelluric studies. (326 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Water quality, Hydrology, Environmental planning, Environmental health and Environmental engineering. His Water quality research incorporates elements of Pollution, Sewage and Environmental protection. David Kay works mostly in the field of Environmental planning, limiting it down to topics relating to Environmental resource management and, in certain cases, Agriculture.

In general Environmental health study, his work on Environmental exposure often relates to the realm of Microbial risk, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The concepts of his Environmental engineering study are interwoven with issues in Estuary and Water resource management. His study looks at the intersection of Drainage basin and topics like Ecology with Veterinary medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Water quality (33.33%)
  • Hydrology (20.56%)
  • Environmental planning (17.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Water quality (33.33%)
  • Environmental planning (17.22%)
  • Drainage basin (12.22%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Water quality, Environmental planning, Drainage basin, Environmental resource management and Environmental engineering. His research integrates issues of Recreation and Pollution in his study of Water quality. He combines subjects such as Environmental monitoring, Microbiological contamination, Sustainable development and Environmental protection with his study of Environmental planning.

His Drainage basin research includes themes of Incidence, Identification, STREAMS and Operations research. His Environmental engineering research incorporates themes from Contamination and Amazonian. His Ecology research integrates issues from Veterinary medicine, Norovirus and Environmental health.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Extreme water-related weather events and waterborne disease (237 citations)
  • Application of human and animal viral microbial source tracking tools in fresh and marine waters from five different geographical areas. (67 citations)
  • Beach sand and the potential for infectious disease transmission: observations and recommendations (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Water quality, Ecology, Recreation, Infectious disease and Waterborne diseases. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Veterinary medicine and Norovirus. His work deals with themes such as Developing country, Aquatic organisms and Environmental protection, which intersect with Infectious disease.

His studies deal with areas such as Flooding, Extreme weather, Global warming, Water supply and Dry season as well as Waterborne diseases. His Flooding research integrates issues from Climate change and Environmental health. His research integrates issues of Water use and Epidemiology in his study of Environmental health.
