Jim T. Smith

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Statistics
• Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Drainage basin, Chernobyl Nuclear Accident and Surface water. Hydrology connects with themes related to Eutrophication in his study. His Eutrophication research incorporates themes from Water quality, Streamflow and Hydrology.

His work deals with themes such as Soil science, Water column and Nuclear weapons testing, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. In his research on the topic of Drainage basin, Radioactive waste, Environmental monitoring and Strontium-90 is strongly related with Watershed. His Wildlife research focuses on Population density and how it relates to Ecology.

His most cited work include:

• Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of Radionuclide Transfer in Terrestrial and Freshwater Environments (316 citations)
• Modelling of phosphorus inputs to rivers from diffuse and point sources. (122 citations)
• Chernobyl: Catastrophe and Consequences (109 citations)

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

Jim T. Smith mostly deals with Hydrology, Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Surface water and Water pollution. His Hydrology research integrates issues from Soil water and Deposition. The study incorporates disciplines such as Contamination, Eutrophication and Activity concentration in addition to Environmental chemistry.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Watershed and Surface water. His work on Water pollution is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Radioactive contamination. The Hydrology study which covers Streamflow that intersects with Water quality.

He most often published in these fields:

• Hydrology (27.21%)
• Environmental chemistry (14.29%)
• Ecology (10.88%)

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

• Zoology (2.72%)
• Chronic radiation syndrome (3.40%)
• Exclusion zone (3.40%)

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

Jim T. Smith spends much of his time researching Zoology, Chronic radiation syndrome, Exclusion zone, Wildlife and Environmental ethics. Jim T. Smith has included themes like Reproductive system and Perch in his Zoology study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Development of the gonads and Gonad.

Exclusion zone is integrated with Metallurgy, Radiography, Surface water, Parametric statistics and Drainage basin in his study. The various areas that Jim T. Smith examines in his Wildlife study include Statistics and Low dose. His Crustacean study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biota, Invertebrate and Radioactive contamination.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Impact of Environmental Radiation on the Health and Reproductive Status of Fish from Chernobyl (19 citations)
• Towards solving a scientific controversy - The effects of ionising radiation on the environment. (16 citations)
• Reproduction in the freshwater crustacean Asellus aquaticus along a gradient of radionuclide contamination at Chernobyl. (14 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Statistics
• Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Chronic radiation syndrome, Wildlife, Biota and Crustacean. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Chronic exposure, Acute exposure, Relative species abundance, Rutilus and Reproductive system. His Wildlife research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Statistics, Radiation monitoring and Low dose.

The Biota study combines topics in areas such as Bioconcentration, Mutation rate, Genetic diversity and Geographical distance. His research integrates issues of Invertebrate, Radioecology, Radioactive contamination and Reproduction in his study of Crustacean. His studies in Fecundity integrate themes in fields like Andrology and Fertility.
