1965 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecosystem

William A. Maher spends much of his time researching Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Arsenate, Arsenobetaine and Chromatography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Estuary, Selenium and Trace metal in addition to Environmental chemistry. The various areas that he examines in his Arsenic study include Oyster, Chlorophyta, Algae and Phosphate.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Arsenate, Anatomy, Gonad, Stomach and Ingestion is strongly linked to Animal science. William A. Maher combines subjects such as Photosynthesis, Cobalt, Green algae and Epiphyte with his study of Arsenobetaine. His work deals with themes such as Certified reference materials, Sample preparation and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, which intersect with Extraction.

His most cited work include:

  • Biotransference and biomagnification of selenium copper, cadmium, zinc, arsenic and lead in a temperate seagrass ecosystem from Lake Macquarie Estuary, NSW, Australia (217 citations)
  • Invertebrate biomarkers: links to toxicosis that predict population decline (197 citations)
  • Handbook for sediment quality assessment (161 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Selenium, Ecology and Sediment. His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Zinc and Cadmium. His studies deal with areas such as Ecotoxicology, Contamination and Trace metal as well as Cadmium.

His Arsenic research includes themes of Chromatography and Phosphate. William A. Maher has researched Selenium in several fields, including Dry weight and Speciation. William A. Maher works mostly in the field of Sediment, limiting it down to topics relating to Estuary and, in certain cases, Bay.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (46.55%)
  • Arsenic (30.55%)
  • Selenium (14.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Environmental chemistry (46.55%)
  • Sediment (14.55%)
  • Arsenic (30.55%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Sediment, Arsenic, Contamination and Glycogen. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Seawater and Cadmium. His Sediment research focuses on Freshwater bivalve and how it relates to Zinc.

His Arsenic study combines topics in areas such as Chromatography, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Algae. His research in Chromatography tackles topics such as Bar which are related to areas like Extraction. Many of his research projects under Contamination are closely connected to Spatial distribution with Spatial distribution, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mercury and risk assessment from consumption of crustaceans, cephalopods and fish from West Peninsular Malaysia (27 citations)
  • Dimethylarsenate (DMA) exposure influences germination rates, arsenic uptake and arsenic species formation in wheat. (19 citations)
  • Selenium speciation in wheat grain varies in the presence of nitrogen and sulphur fertilisers (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

William A. Maher mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Arsenic, Sediment, Trophic level and Arsenate. His Environmental chemistry study often links to related topics such as Nitrate. His Arsenic research incorporates elements of Ion exchange, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Phosphate.

As a member of one scientific family, William A. Maher mostly works in the field of Sediment, focusing on Freshwater bivalve and, on occasion, Metal toxicity, Zinc and Sentinel species. The various areas that William A. Maher examines in his Arsenate study include Phytol, Biochemistry and Chlorophyta, Algae. The Bioaccumulation study which covers Cadmium that intersects with Contamination.
