Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Sewage treatment

Duncan Mara mainly investigates Environmental engineering, Wastewater, Sanitation, Fecal coliform and Environmental planning. Many of his research projects under Environmental engineering are closely connected to Separator and Who guidelines with Separator and Who guidelines, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Wastewater research incorporates elements of Agriculture, Toxicology and Sewage treatment.

His research integrates issues of Economic growth, Sewerage, Environmental protection and Water supply in his study of Sanitation. The concepts of his Fecal coliform study are interwoven with issues in Environmental chemistry, Algae, Coliform bacteria and Stabilization pond. His studies in Environmental planning integrate themes in fields like Water scarcity, Night soil, Resource and Health care.

His most cited work include:

  • Sanitation and disease: Health aspects of excreta and wastewater management (651 citations)
  • Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Developing Countries (326 citations)
  • Guidelines for the microbiological quality of treated wastewater used in agriculture: recommendations for revising WHO guidelines (264 citations)

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

Duncan Mara focuses on Environmental engineering, Effluent, Wastewater, Stabilization pond and Waste management. The various areas that he examines in his Environmental engineering study include Facultative, Fecal coliform and Environmental chemistry. His research investigates the link between Effluent and topics such as Irrigation that cross with problems in Crop.

His Wastewater research includes themes of Agriculture, Toxicology, Reuse and Environmental planning. He interconnects Environmental protection and Water resource management in the investigation of issues within Environmental planning. His work in the fields of Sewage treatment, such as Biochemical oxygen demand, overlaps with other areas such as Lime.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental engineering (43.69%)
  • Effluent (31.07%)
  • Wastewater (29.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2018)?

  • Wastewater (29.13%)
  • Environmental engineering (43.69%)
  • Sanitation (14.08%)

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

Duncan Mara mainly focuses on Wastewater, Environmental engineering, Sanitation, Effluent and Waste management. His Wastewater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agriculture, Toxicology, Disease burden and Irrigation. The various areas that he examines in his Environmental engineering study include Environmental chemistry, Water quality, Biomass and Nitrification.

His work carried out in the field of Sanitation brings together such families of science as Economic growth, Developing country, Sewerage and Sustainable development. Duncan Mara has researched Effluent in several fields, including Suspended solids and Sewage treatment. While the research belongs to areas of Facultative lagoon, he spends his time largely on the problem of Stabilization pond, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Filter.

Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Sanitation and health. (263 citations)
  • A new paradigm for low-cost urban water supplies and sanitation in developing countries (62 citations)
  • Solar-powered aeration and disinfection, anaerobic co-digestion, biological CO2 scrubbing and biofuel production: the energy and carbon management opportunities of waste stabilisation ponds (53 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Sewage treatment

His primary scientific interests are in Wastewater, Sanitation, Irrigation, Open defecation and Environmental engineering. His research on Wastewater focuses in particular on Facultative lagoon. His Sanitation study incorporates themes from Economic growth and Agricultural economics.

His work investigates the relationship between Irrigation and topics such as Environmental planning that intersect with problems in Urban agriculture, Social issues and Water conservation. His biological study deals with issues like Sustainable development, which deal with fields such as Latrine and Socioeconomics. In the subject of general Environmental engineering, his work in Effluent and Sewage treatment is often linked to Anaerobic digestion and Carbon footprint, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
