Larry D. McKay mainly focuses on Mineralogy, Porosity, Matrix, Fecal coliform and Bacteroides.
His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Flow and Fracture.
His Porosity study focuses on Porous medium in particular.
Larry D. McKay integrates Matrix with Diffusion in his study.
When carried out as part of a general Fecal coliform research project, his work on Indicator bacteria is frequently linked to work in DNA extraction, TaqMan and Coliphage, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
The concepts of his Bacteroides study are interwoven with issues in Pathogenic bacteria and Vibrio.
His most cited work include:
- Development of Bacteroides 16S rRNA Gene TaqMan-Based Real-Time PCR Assays for Estimation of Total, Human, and Bovine Fecal Pollution in Water (441 citations)
- Colloid Transport in the Subsurface (207 citations)
- Field Experiments in a Fractured Clay Till 2. Solute and Colloid Transport (164 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Larry D. McKay spends much of his time researching Mineralogy, Aquifer, Environmental chemistry, Hydrology and Groundwater.
His Mineralogy research includes themes of Saprolite, Oil shale, Matrix and Porous medium.
His Matrix research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Porosity, Fracture, Pore water pressure and Colloid.
As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Aquifer, concentrating on Fecal coliform and frequently concerns with Sewage.
Larry D. McKay interconnects Soil water, Contamination and Coal tar in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry.
His research in the fields of Water quality, Surface water, Watershed and Groundwater recharge overlaps with other disciplines such as Distribution.
