2015 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Oceanography

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Oceanography, Bay, Total organic carbon and Organic matter. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Combustion, Soil contamination, Environmental engineering and Pollution. His research investigates the connection between Pollution and topics such as Mussel Watch Program that intersect with issues in Mussel, Sentinel Organisms and Pollutant.

He does research in Oceanography, focusing on Water column specifically. John W. Farrington interconnects Fuel oil, Petroleum, Terrigenous sediment and Phenanthrene in the investigation of issues within Bay. His Total organic carbon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seawater, Diagenesis and Anoxic waters.

His most cited work include:

  • The Mussel Watch (753 citations)
  • Combustion-Derived Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Environment—A Review (386 citations)
  • Organic micropollutants in marine plastics debris from the open ocean and remote and urban beaches. (363 citations)

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

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Oceanography, Bay, Organic matter and Water column. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Pollutant, Petroleum and Hydrocarbon. His Oceanography research includes elements of Sedimentary rock, Geochemistry and Organic geochemistry.

His Bay research includes themes of Fuel oil, Sewage and Fatty acid. His work deals with themes such as Total organic carbon, Dissolved organic carbon and Diagenesis, which intersect with Organic matter. His Water column research includes themes of Seawater and Microcosm.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (37.04%)
  • Oceanography (31.48%)
  • Bay (15.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2021)?

  • Economic growth (4.94%)
  • Livelihood (4.94%)
  • Development economics (3.70%)

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

John W. Farrington mostly deals with Economic growth, Livelihood, Development economics, Poverty and Environmental chemistry. The Social protection research John W. Farrington does as part of his general Economic growth study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Psychological intervention, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study in Livelihood is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rural india, Natural resource economics and Circular migration.

His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Petroleum, Pollutant and Cycling. His work on Unresolved complex mixture as part of general Petroleum research is often related to Term, thus linking different fields of science. His Phenanthrenes research incorporates themes from Bay, Environmental engineering, Salt marsh, Cove and Fuel oil.

Between 2003 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Combustion-Derived Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Environment—A Review (386 citations)
  • Organic micropollutants in marine plastics debris from the open ocean and remote and urban beaches. (363 citations)
  • Edward D. Goldberg's proposal of “the Mussel Watch”: Reflections after 40 years (78 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Organic chemistry

Environmental chemistry, Oil pollution, Fishery, Mussel and Environmental engineering are his primary areas of study. His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Petroleum, Pollutant, Redistribution and Cycling. His work on Unresolved complex mixture is typically connected to Term as part of general Petroleum study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Oil pollution is intertwined with Petroleum engineering, Environmental resource management, Oil well, Deepwater horizon and Thesaurus in his study. His Fishery research integrates issues from Marine pollution, Chemical contaminants, Oceanography and Phase. He has researched Environmental engineering in several fields, including Salt marsh, Persistent organic pollutant, Hydrocarbon, Cove and Fuel oil.
