Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Algae

Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Water pollution, Biofilm and Algae are her primary areas of study. Her research integrates issues of Mediterranean climate and Contamination in her study of Environmental chemistry. Her Water pollution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in River ecosystem and Zinc toxicity.

Her study looks at the relationship between River ecosystem and fields such as Nutrient, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Her Biofilm research integrates issues from Heterotroph, Aquatic ecosystem, Dissolved organic carbon and Autotroph. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Photosynthesis, Atrazine and Colonization.

Her most cited work include:

  • Recommendations for the routine sampling of diatoms for water quality assessments in Europe (353 citations)
  • Monitoring the effect of chemicals on biological communities. The biofilm as an interface (263 citations)
  • Bridging levels of pharmaceuticals in river water with biological community structure in the Llobregat River basin (northeast Spain). (148 citations)

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

Helena Guasch mainly focuses on Ecology, Environmental chemistry, Biofilm, Periphyton and Nutrient. Water pollution, Benthic zone, Pollution, Diatom and Pollutant are among the areas of Ecology where Helena Guasch concentrates her study. Helena Guasch interconnects Biomass, Water quality and Algae in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry.

Her Biofilm research incorporates elements of Catalase, APX, Toxicant, Autotroph and Heterotroph. Her Periphyton study incorporates themes from Gastropoda, Atrazine and Grazing. Helena Guasch combines subjects such as Photosynthetic capacity and Ecosystem with her study of Nutrient.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (50.48%)
  • Environmental chemistry (49.52%)
  • Biofilm (28.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Environmental chemistry (49.52%)
  • Ecology (50.48%)
  • Biofilm (28.57%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Biofilm, Ecotoxicology and Periphyton. Her Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Arsenate and Ecosystem. While working in this field, Helena Guasch studies both Ecology and Triclosan.

Her studies deal with areas such as Antioxidant, Toxicology, Pollution, Green algae and Heterotroph as well as Biofilm. Her studies in Ecotoxicology integrate themes in fields like Diatom, Autotroph, Environmental toxicology and Algae. To a larger extent, Helena Guasch studies Nutrient with the aim of understanding Periphyton.

Between 2012 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Trace metal concentration and fish size: variation among fish species in a Mediterranean river. (69 citations)
  • Assessment of multi-chemical pollution in aquatic ecosystems using toxic units: compound prioritization, mixture characterization and relationships with biological descriptors. (64 citations)
  • Pharmaceuticals and pesticides in reclaimed water: Efficiency assessment of a microfiltration–reverse osmosis (MF–RO) pilot plant (60 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

Her main research concerns Ecology, Environmental chemistry, Pollution, Biofilm and Drainage basin. In the field of Ecology, her study on Mediterranean climate, Intraspecific competition and Contamination overlaps with subjects such as Fish species and Alburnus alburnus. She specializes in Environmental chemistry, namely Bioaccumulation.

Her Bioaccumulation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecotoxicology, Autotroph and Green algae, Algae. Helena Guasch has researched Pollution in several fields, including Pesticide and Water pollution. Helena Guasch focuses mostly in the field of Biofilm, narrowing it down to topics relating to Pollutant and, in certain cases, Dissolved organic carbon and Nutrient.
