Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Groundwater
  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry

Groundwater, Hydrology, Environmental engineering, Water table and Aquifer are his primary areas of study. He is involved in the study of Groundwater that focuses on Groundwater flow in particular. In his research on the topic of Hydrology, Denitrification, Alkalinity, Siderite, Calcite and Dissolution is strongly related with Dissolved organic carbon.

John A. Cherry has researched Environmental engineering in several fields, including Infiltration and Water pollution. John A. Cherry combines subjects such as Slug test, Soil science and Hydraulic head with his study of Water table. The various areas that he examines in his Aquifer study include Structural basin, Groundwater-related subsidence, Subsidence and Water well.

His most cited work include:

  • Groundwater contamination: pump-and-treat remediation (616 citations)
  • A natural gradient experiment on solute transport in a sand aquifer: 1. Approach and overview of plume movement (526 citations)
  • Stable Isotopes of Oxygen and Nitrogen in Source Identification of Nitrate from Septic Systems (390 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Groundwater, Aquifer, Hydrology, Geotechnical engineering and Groundwater flow. His Groundwater research incorporates elements of Hydrogeology, Environmental engineering, Contamination, Mineralogy and Environmental chemistry. His Environmental engineering study combines topics in areas such as Waste management and Environmental remediation.

His Aquifer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil science, Hydraulic conductivity, Water table, Bedrock and Hydraulic head. John A. Cherry has included themes like Piezometer and Geomorphology in his Hydraulic head study. The concepts of his Geotechnical engineering study are interwoven with issues in Flow and Petrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Groundwater (53.30%)
  • Aquifer (50.76%)
  • Hydrology (27.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Groundwater (53.30%)
  • Aquifer (50.76%)
  • Soil science (16.24%)

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

His primary areas of study are Groundwater, Aquifer, Soil science, Hydrology and Groundwater flow. John A. Cherry does research in Groundwater, focusing on Groundwater discharge specifically. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vadose zone, Hydrogeology, Volumetric flow rate and Natural gas in addition to Aquifer.

The Soil science study which covers Specific storage that intersects with Porous medium, Crust and Water resources. His study in the field of Groundwater recharge and Hydrology is also linked to topics like Eutrophication and Discharge. His Groundwater flow study incorporates themes from Hydraulic head and Permeability.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mobility and persistence of methane in groundwater in a controlled-release field experiment (59 citations)
  • PFAS Experts Symposium: Statements on regulatory policy, chemistry and analytics, toxicology, transport/fate, and remediation for per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination issues (18 citations)
  • Vadose Zone Gas Migration and Surface Effluxes after a Controlled Natural Gas Release into an Unconfined Shallow Aquifer (17 citations)

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

  • Oxygen
  • Groundwater
  • Organic chemistry

John A. Cherry focuses on Aquifer, Soil science, Groundwater, Natural gas and Vadose zone. His Aquifer study deals with the bigger picture of Hydrology. His studies in Hydrology integrate themes in fields like Estuary, Porosity and Fluvial.

His Soil science research incorporates themes from Groundwater flow, Hydraulic head and Fracture. Particularly relevant to Groundwater discharge is his body of work in Groundwater. His work in Natural gas covers topics such as Methane which are related to areas like Hydraulic fracturing, Sediment, Propane and Hydrogeology.
