Gavin F. Birch

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Sediment
• Ecosystem

His main research concerns Estuary, Sediment, Environmental chemistry, Stormwater and Hydrology. The concepts of his Estuary study are interwoven with issues in Drainage basin and Tributary. His Sediment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bay, Contamination, Environmental remediation, Ecosystem and Pollution.

His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Salinity, Trace element, Pesticide, Persistent organic pollutant and Spatial distribution. He works mostly in the field of Stormwater, limiting it down to topics relating to Leaching and, in certain cases, Nitrate, as a part of the same area of interest. His biological study deals with issues like Spatial variability, which deal with fields such as Field, Sampling and Plankton.

His most cited work include:

• Source of heavy metals in sediments of the Port Jackson estuary, Australia (212 citations)
• The distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surficial sediments of Sydney Harbour, Australia (195 citations)
• Metallic and organic contaminants in sediments of Sydney Harbour, Australia and vicinity-- a chemical dataset for evaluating sediment quality guidelines. (180 citations)

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

Estuary, Sediment, Hydrology, Environmental chemistry and Drainage basin are his primary areas of study. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Estuary and Harbour. His Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Ecotoxicology, Pollution, Bioaccumulation and Benthic zone.

His Hydrology study frequently links to other fields, such as Soil water. His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Oyster, Contamination, Trace element and Metal, Trace metal. His Drainage basin research includes themes of Watershed and Fluvial.

He most often published in these fields:

• Estuary (55.35%)
• Sediment (50.94%)
• Hydrology (35.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

• Estuary (55.35%)
• Sediment (50.94%)
• Environmental chemistry (33.96%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Estuary, Sediment, Environmental chemistry, Hydrology and Stormwater. Gavin F. Birch has included themes like Drainage basin, Oyster and Contamination in his Estuary study. The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Benthic zone, Bioaccumulation, Intertidal zone and Mangrove.

His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Seagrass, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and Metal. His Water quality study in the realm of Hydrology connects with subjects such as Total suspended solids. His work in Stormwater tackles topics such as Wastewater which are related to areas like Mecoprop.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Pollution and health risk of potentially toxic metals in urban road dust in Nanjing, a mega-city of China. (149 citations)
• Determination of sediment metal background concentrations and enrichment in marine environments - A critical review. (98 citations)
• Emerging contaminants (pharmaceuticals, personal care products, a food additive and pesticides) in waters of Sydney estuary, Australia. (78 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Sediment

His primary areas of study are Sediment, Estuary, Environmental chemistry, Ecosystem and Mangrove. His work in the fields of Sediment, such as Geologic Sediments, intersects with other areas such as Ostreidae. Many of his studies on Estuary apply to Stormwater as well.

Gavin F. Birch combines subjects such as Surficial sediments, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Mecoprop and Estuarine sediments with his study of Environmental chemistry. As part of one scientific family, Gavin F. Birch deals mainly with the area of Mangrove, narrowing it down to issues related to the Intertidal zone, and often Aquatic ecosystem, Aerial root, Trace metal and Marine ecosystem. His Sedimentary rock study incorporates themes from Drainage basin, Environmental monitoring and Contamination.
