Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Law

Astrophysics, Galaxy, Astronomy, Redshift and 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey are his primary areas of study. Redshift survey, Luminosity, Gravitational microlensing, Luminosity function and Dark matter halo are the subjects of his Astrophysics studies. His Gravitational microlensing study also includes

  • Bulge and related Gravitational lens,
  • Large Magellanic Cloud, which have a strong connection to Small Magellanic Cloud.

His work carried out in the field of Galaxy brings together such families of science as Photometry and Sky. His Redshift research integrates issues from Data quality, Celestial equator and Velocity dispersion. His work in 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey tackles topics such as Omega which are related to areas like Hubble's law.

His most cited work include:

  • The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectra and redshifts (1905 citations)
  • The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Spectra and redshifts (1810 citations)
  • The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: power-spectrum analysis of the final data set and cosmological implications (1554 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrophysics, Ecology, Astronomy, Galaxy and Redshift. His Astrophysics and Gravitational microlensing, Stars, 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, Redshift survey and Large Magellanic Cloud investigations all form part of his Astrophysics research activities. The various areas that he examines in his Gravitational microlensing study include Halo, Dark matter halo, Milky Way, Bulge and Dark matter.

His work on Ecology deals in particular with Habitat, Predation, Biodiversity, Foraging and Range. His Luminous infrared galaxy, Gravitational lens, Galaxy cluster and Light curve investigations are all subjects of Astronomy research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sky and Photometry in addition to Galaxy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (35.24%)
  • Ecology (22.18%)
  • Astronomy (21.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (22.18%)
  • Environmental planning (4.78%)
  • Environmental resource management (6.48%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management, Biodiversity and Agroforestry. Habitat, Ecosystem, Abundance and Ecology are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. His research on Environmental planning often connects related areas such as Futures studies.

His Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Public relations, Process and Ecosystem services. His Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Climate change and Threatened species. His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Agriculture and Arable land.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The role of agri-environment schemes in conservation and environmental management (359 citations)
  • Galaxy and mass assembly (GAMA): End of survey report and data release 2 (352 citations)
  • The first and second data releases of the Kilo-Degree Survey (207 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Law

William J. Sutherland mainly investigates Environmental resource management, Astrophysics, Biodiversity, Environmental planning and Ecology. His study on Environmental resource management also encompasses disciplines like

  • Public relations which connect with Public policy and Sustainable development,
  • Process which is related to area like Ecosystem services and Work. Many of his studies on Astrophysics apply to Astronomy as well.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abundance, Natural resource economics and Climate change. His studies deal with areas such as Futures studies, Wildlife, Arable land, Relevance and Adaptive management as well as Environmental planning. In general Ecology study, his work on Ecosystem, Ecology, Abiotic component and Habitat often relates to the realm of Microbial ecology, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
