Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Groundwater
  • Redox
  • Water pollution

William D. Robertson mostly deals with Denitrification, Nitrate, Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering and Infiltration. His Nitrate studies intersect with other disciplines such as Denitrifying bacteria, Sewage treatment, Woodchips and Effluent. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Septic tank, Wastewater and Aquifer.

His Environmental engineering study combines topics in areas such as Compost and Drainage. His studies deal with areas such as Mineralogy and Groundwater as well as Infiltration. His research ties Contamination and Groundwater together.

His most cited work include:

  • Use of Multiple Isotope Tracers to Evaluate Denitrification in Ground Water: Study of Nitrate from a Large‐Flux Septic System Plume (424 citations)
  • Denitrifying bioreactors - an approach for reducing nitrate loads to receiving waters. (349 citations)
  • Ground‐Water Contamination from Two Small Septic Systems on Sand Aquifers (243 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Groundwater, Nitrate, Denitrification and Plume. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Infiltration, Mineralogy and Effluent. The concepts of his Effluent study are interwoven with issues in Ferric and Septic tank.

His Groundwater research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wastewater and Anoxic waters. His research brings together the fields of Nitrification and Denitrification. His work in Environmental engineering addresses issues such as Drainage, which are connected to fields such as Compost.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (47.76%)
  • Groundwater (46.27%)
  • Nitrate (35.82%)

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

  • Wastewater (23.88%)
  • Groundwater (46.27%)
  • Nitrate (35.82%)

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

William D. Robertson focuses on Wastewater, Groundwater, Nitrate, Environmental chemistry and Plume. His Wastewater research incorporates elements of Surface water, Effluent and Sewage treatment. His Surface water research incorporates themes from STREAMS and Anoxic waters.

His Groundwater study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Hydrology. His research integrates issues of Infiltration and Enrichment factor in his study of Water table. William D. Robertson performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Enrichment factor and Denitrification via his papers.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Concentrations of Artificial Sweeteners and Their Ratios with Nutrients in Septic System Wastewater (10 citations)
  • Partial nitrification enhances natural attenuation of nitrogen in a septic system plume. (8 citations)
  • Contribution of phosphorus to Georgian Bay from groundwater of a coastal beach town with decommissioned septic systems (8 citations)

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

  • Groundwater
  • Redox
  • Water pollution

Environmental engineering, Enrichment factor, Denitrification, Environmental chemistry and Water table are his primary areas of study. His Sewage treatment and Wastewater study in the realm of Environmental engineering interacts with subjects such as Animal science, Sucralose and Artificial Sweetener. Animal science overlaps with fields such as Saccharin and Surface water in his research.

His Enrichment factor research includes themes of Infiltration and Septic tank.
