What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Hydrology
His main research concerns Hydrology, Infiltration, Soil water, Surface runoff and Hydraulic conductivity.
His work in the fields of Hydrology, such as Throughflow, Hydrograph and Groundwater recharge, overlaps with other areas such as Ironstone and Radionuclide.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Infiltration, concentrating on Infiltrometer and intersecting with Capillary action and Boundary value problem.
Keith Smettem combines subjects such as Extraction and Field conditions with his study of Soil water.
His Surface runoff research includes elements of Mathematical model and Civil engineering.
His Hydraulic conductivity study combines topics in areas such as Geotechnical engineering and Sorptivity.
His most cited work include:
- Three‐dimensional analysis of infiltration from the disc infiltrometer: 2. Physically based infiltration equation (223 citations)
- A reactive soil moisture sensor network: Design and field evaluation (151 citations)
- Measuring unsaturated sorptivity and hydraulic conductivity using multiple disc permeameters (145 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Keith Smettem mainly focuses on Hydrology, Soil water, Soil science, Surface runoff and Agroforestry.
His study explores the link between Hydrology and topics such as Vegetation that cross with problems in Climate change.
His research in Soil water tackles topics such as Agronomy which are related to areas like Biomass and Short rotation forestry.
His study in Soil science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Infiltration and Water content.
His Infiltration research focuses on Infiltrometer and how it relates to Capillary action and Mechanics.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Surface runoff, Ecohydrology is strongly linked to Evapotranspiration.
He most often published in these fields:
- Hydrology (33.47%)
- Soil water (26.03%)
- Soil science (20.66%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Library science (5.37%)
- General assembly (5.79%)
- Publication process (5.37%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Keith Smettem spends much of his time researching Library science, General assembly, Publication process, Political science and Joint.
His study on Citation is often connected to History as part of broader study in Library science.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The effect of water repellent soil surface layers on preferential flow and bare soil evaporation (30 citations)
- Nitrogen removal efficiencies and pathways from unsaturated and saturated zones in a laboratory-scale vertical flow constructed wetland. (16 citations)
- Responses of streamflow to vegetation and climate change in southwestern Australia (13 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Statistics
Climate change, Physical geography, Streamflow, Air temperature and Leaf area index are his primary areas of study.
He interconnects Agronomy, Canopy, Water-use efficiency, Forest ecology and Evapotranspiration in the investigation of issues within Climate change.
The concepts of his Physical geography study are interwoven with issues in Global warming, Alpine plant, Grassland, Woodland and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index.
His Streamflow research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reforestation, Environmental protection, Forest management, Deforestation and Water quality.
His Air temperature study spans across into fields like Land cover, Vegetation and Trend analysis.
