The subfields of study where their work was concentrated included water science and technology, environmental engineering, soil science, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, and environmental chemistry.

The scientist's work addressed multiple main topics including hydrology and watershed management studies, soil erosion and sediment transport, biocrusts and microbial ecology, fecal contamination and water quality, aquatic ecosystems and phytoplankton dynamics, soil and unsaturated flow, and urban stormwater management solutions.

Their frequent publication venues demonstrated a consistent presence in the fields of geology and environmental science. These venues included:

  • Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America
  • Water
  • Agricultural Water Management
  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • Water Air & Soil Pollution

Robert L. Hill published notable research papers, among them:

  • "Characterizing uncertainty in process-based hydraulic modeling, exemplified in a semiarid Inner Mongolia steppe" (2023), published in Geoderma
  • "Effect of grazing exclusion on nitrous oxide emissions during freeze-thaw cycles in a typical steppe of Inner Mongolia" (2020), published in Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment
  • "Dimensionality and scales of preferential flow in soils of Shale Hills hillslope simulated using HYDRUS" (2024), published in Vadose Zone Journal
  • "Effects of partial organic fertilizer replacement combined with rainwater collection system on soil water, nitrate-nitrogen and apple yield of rainfed apple orchard in the Loess Plateau of China: A 3-year field experiment" (2021), published in Agricultural Water Management
  • "Evaluation of wind erosion control practices at a photovoltaic power station within a sandy area of northwest, China" (2020), published in Land Degradation and Development

The scientist collaborated frequently with colleagues such as Yakov Pachepsky, Matthew Stocker, Jaclyn E. Smith, Ying Zhao, and Avner Vengosh.

Robert L. Hill contributed to academic literature with a book published by Nottingham Trent University titled "Intelligence briefing paper 4 - Risk perception, dementia and missing persons, transport trends and YouGov data" in 2020.

Over the course of their career, Robert L. Hill was recognized with memberships and fellowships, including:

  • Member of the National Academy of Sciences (1975)
  • Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (1977)
