Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Internal medicine

Michael J. Watts mainly focuses on Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Micronutrient, Agronomy and Soil water. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Arsenate, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, Extraction and Arsenite. His Micronutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil type, Crop and Environmental health.

His work deals with themes such as Fortification, Zinc deficiency and Dietary diversification, which intersect with Environmental health. His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Soil classification and Soil pH. Michael J. Watts combines subjects such as Iodate and Iodide with his study of Soil water.

His most cited work include:

  • Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent (160 citations)
  • Dietary mineral supplies in Africa (122 citations)
  • Maize grain and soil surveys reveal suboptimal dietary selenium intake is widespread in Malawi (97 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Soil water, Micronutrient and Agronomy. His study on Environmental chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Earthworm, which have a strong connection to Soil contamination,
  • Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry which intersects with area such as Urine. His Arsenic study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Cadmium.

In his study, Iodide and Chromatography is strongly linked to Iodine, which falls under the umbrella field of Soil water. His studies in Micronutrient integrate themes in fields like Toxicology, Selenium and Environmental health. The various areas that Michael J. Watts examines in his Agronomy study include Soil classification and Zinc, Biofortification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (30.50%)
  • Arsenic (20.57%)
  • Soil water (16.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (30.50%)
  • Micronutrient (15.60%)
  • Iodine (12.06%)

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

Michael J. Watts focuses on Environmental chemistry, Micronutrient, Iodine, Soil water and Animal science. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Chromium and Floodplain. His work is dedicated to discovering how Micronutrient, Toxicology are connected with Food group and Dietary Reference Intake and other disciplines.

Michael J. Watts works mostly in the field of Iodine, limiting it down to topics relating to Chromatography and, in certain cases, Inorganic contaminants, as a part of the same area of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tailings and Physical geography. His Animal science research also works with subjects such as

  • Urine, which have a strong connection to Creatinine, Urinary system, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Selenium,
  • Spot urine and related Case-control study, Cross-sectional study and Urinary iodine.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Status, source, ecological and health risk assessment of toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in street dust of Abadan, Iran (34 citations)
  • The risk of selenium deficiency in Malawi is large and varies over multiple spatial scales (26 citations)
  • Source, Spatial Distribution and Pollution Assessment of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Pb, Isotopes in urban soils of Ahvaz City, a semi-arid metropolis in southwest Iran. (20 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Internal medicine

Michael J. Watts mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Cadmium, Micronutrient, Organic matter and Soil classification. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Subtropics and Soil water. His work on Soil test as part of general Soil water study is frequently connected to Dust storm, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Micronutrient study frequently links to other fields, such as Thyroid function. His study in Organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tailings, Soil type, Legume and Sorghum. Michael J. Watts interconnects Food group, Leaching, Ecosystem and Groundwater in the investigation of issues within Soil classification.
