Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Erosion
  • Agriculture

William H. Blake mainly investigates Hydrology, Sediment, Erosion, Surface runoff and Soil water. His work carried out in the field of Hydrology brings together such families of science as Soil science, Nuclear power plant, Fukushima daiichi, TRACER and Grain size. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Drainage basin, Aquatic ecosystem, Earth science and Radionuclide.

His Erosion research incorporates themes from Deposition, Plateau and WEPP. His Surface runoff study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Water quality and Soil fertility. His research investigates the connection with Soil water and areas like Vegetation which intersect with concerns in Topsoil.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of differing wildfire severities on soil wettability and implications for hydrological response (230 citations)
  • Sediment fingerprinting in agricultural catchments: A critical re-examination of source discrimination and data corrections (157 citations)
  • Use of 7Be and 137Cs measurements to document short‐ and medium‐term rates of water‐induced soil erosion on agricultural land (156 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Sediment, Hydrology, Drainage basin, Erosion and Soil science. In his study, Radionuclide and Beryllium is inextricably linked to TRACER, which falls within the broad field of Sediment. His research in Hydrology intersects with topics in Logging, Nutrient and Fluvial.

His Drainage basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Structural basin, Sedimentary budget and Tributary. He interconnects Rainforest, Surface runoff, Topsoil and Siltation in the investigation of issues within Erosion. His Soil classification and Hydraulic conductivity study in the realm of Soil science interacts with subjects such as Mixing and Redistribution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sediment (52.55%)
  • Hydrology (50.00%)
  • Drainage basin (27.04%)

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

  • Sediment (52.55%)
  • Hydrology (50.00%)
  • Erosion (21.94%)

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

William H. Blake mainly investigates Sediment, Hydrology, Erosion, Drainage basin and Soil science. His Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Radiometric dating, Salt marsh, Glacier and Environmental chemistry, Aquatic ecosystem. His Hydrology study incorporates themes from Nuclear power plant and Fukushima daiichi.

In the field of Erosion, his study on Channel bank overlaps with subjects such as Co-design. William H. Blake works mostly in the field of Drainage basin, limiting it down to topics relating to Surface runoff and, in certain cases, Hydraulic conductivity, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in Topsoil is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil test and Soil retrogression and degradation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transport and Redistribution of Radiocesium in Fukushima Fallout through Rivers (22 citations)
  • Testing the sensitivity of a multivariate mixing model using geochemical fingerprints with artificial mixtures (19 citations)
  • Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Erosion

His primary areas of study are Sediment, Hydrology, Physical geography, Land use and Livelihood. The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Soil science, Soil water and Multivariate statistics. His Hydrology research includes themes of Nuclear power plant, Fukushima daiichi and Land cover.

William H. Blake combines subjects such as Peat, Bog, Climate change and Holocene with his study of Physical geography. His work on Sustainable land management as part of his general Land use study is frequently connected to Natural resource economics, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work on Livelihood is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Land degradation.
