Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Petroleum

His main research concerns Hydrocarbon, Chromatography, Petroleum, Environmental chemistry and Gas chromatography. His Chromatography study incorporates themes from Scientific method and Soil water. His work on Petroleum product as part of his general Petroleum study is frequently connected to Identification, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Water pollution study in the realm of Environmental chemistry interacts with subjects such as Sterane. His work focuses on many connections between Gas chromatography and other disciplines, such as Mass spectrometry, that overlap with his field of interest in Fractionation and Light crude oil. He focuses mostly in the field of Chemical fingerprinting, narrowing it down to matters related to Environmental analysis and, in some cases, Fossil fuel.

His most cited work include:

  • Oil spill identification (488 citations)
  • Development of oil hydrocarbon fingerprinting and identification techniques (400 citations)
  • The Basics of Oil Spill Cleanup, Second Edition (268 citations)

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

Merv Fingas mainly investigates Chromatography, Waste management, Petroleum, Environmental chemistry and Petroleum product. In his research, Merv Fingas undertakes multidisciplinary study on Chromatography and Biomarker. His Petroleum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biodegradation, Oil analysis, Petroleum engineering and Chemical fingerprinting.

His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, Mineralogy, Hydrocarbon and Chemical composition. As part of his studies on Hydrocarbon, Merv Fingas often connects relevant subjects like Water pollution. As part of one scientific family, Merv Fingas deals mainly with the area of Petroleum product, narrowing it down to issues related to the Diesel fuel, and often Evaporation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chromatography (24.41%)
  • Waste management (20.47%)
  • Petroleum (18.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Waste management (20.47%)
  • Petroleum engineering (12.60%)
  • Remote sensing (7.87%)

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

Merv Fingas spends much of his time researching Waste management, Petroleum engineering, Remote sensing, Environmental engineering and Remote sensing. The concepts of his Petroleum engineering study are interwoven with issues in Countermeasure, Water in oil emulsion and Dispersion. His Remote sensing study deals with Snow intersecting with Radio frequency.

His studies deal with areas such as BTEX, Particulates and Dispose pattern as well as Environmental engineering. Merv Fingas has included themes like Rheology, Arctic and Sea ice in his Petroleum product study. His research combines Petroleum and Contingency plan.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Review of Oil Spill Remote Sensing. (83 citations)
  • Cellulosic Substrates for Removal of Pollutants from Aqueous Systems: A Review. 3. Spilled Oil and Emulsified Organic Liquids (63 citations)
  • Studies on water-in-oil products from crude oils and petroleum products. (51 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Solvent

Merv Fingas mostly deals with Petroleum engineering, Waste management, Petroleum product, Remote sensing and Remote sensing. His Petroleum engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pulp and paper industry, Boom, Water in oil emulsion and Diesel fuel. His work deals with themes such as Cellulose, Particulates and Environmental engineering, which intersect with Waste management.

The various areas that Merv Fingas examines in his Petroleum product study include Rheology, Gasoline, Hydrocarbon, Fuel oil and Light crude oil. Merv Fingas combines subjects such as Snow and Shore with his study of Remote sensing. His work often combines Remote sensing and Wide area studies.
