- Brazilian wetlands: their definition, delineation, and classification for research, sustainable management, and protection (234 citations)
- Mercury from gold and silver mining: a chemical time bomb? (205 citations)
- Global mercury emissions from gold and silver mining (169 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Hydrology, Sediment, Mangrove and Bay.
His work on Water pollution as part of general Environmental chemistry research is often related to Manganese, thus linking different fields of science.
His work on Drainage basin is typically connected to Gold mining as part of general Hydrology study, connecting several disciplines of science.
He has included themes like Organic matter, Eutrophication, Pollution and Trace metal in his Sediment study.
His studies in Mangrove integrate themes in fields like Global warming, Climate change and Ecosystem.
The Bay study combines topics in areas such as Seawater and Total organic carbon.
He most often published in these fields:
- Environmental chemistry (31.60%)
- Hydrology (33.33%)
- Sediment (24.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Luiz Drude de Lacerda mainly focuses on Mangrove, Hydrology, Estuary, Ecology and Environmental chemistry.
His Mangrove study incorporates themes from Ecosystem, Ecosystem services, Global warming, Climate change and Shrimp farming.
His Hydrology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Bay.
His work deals with themes such as Drainage basin, Particulates, Ocean current, Bathymetry and Current, which intersect with Estuary.
His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Contamination, Sediment, Aquaculture, Pollution and Trophic level.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Zinc smelter in addition to Sediment.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Trace metals and persistent organic pollutants contamination in batoids (Chondrichthyes: Batoidea): A systematic review. (12 citations)
- Mercury accumulation rates in Caço Lake, NE Brazil during the past 20.000 years (10 citations)
- Mercury Concentrations in Tuna (Thunnus albacares and Thunnus obesus) from the Brazilian Equatorial Atlantic Ocean. (8 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His scientific interests lie mostly in Mangrove, Environmental chemistry, Estuary, Ecosystem and Climate change.
His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Trophic level and Evergreen.
His Trophic level study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drainage basin, Elops saurus, Shrimp and Bioaccumulation.
His Estuary research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Endangered species, Flooding, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Rainforest.
His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Tropical rainforest and Sustainability, Sustainable management.
His Global warming research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental planning, Particulates, Sea level, Dissolved organic carbon and Biogeochemistry.
