What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Meteorology
Barbara M. Hickey focuses on Oceanography, Upwelling, Wind stress, Environmental science and Estuary.
Barbara M. Hickey combines subjects such as Climatology, Plume and River mouth with her study of Oceanography.
Her Upwelling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrography and Bay.
As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Hydrography, narrowing it down to issues related to the Submarine canyon, and often Spatial ecology.
Her work carried out in the field of Wind stress brings together such families of science as Continental shelf, Submarine pipeline and Geostrophic wind.
Her studies in Continental shelf integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Oceanic basin, Sea surface temperature and Drifter.
Her most cited work include:
- The California current system—hypotheses and facts☆ (633 citations)
- Oceanography of the U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal ocean and estuaries with application to coastal ecology (285 citations)
- An unprecedented coastwide toxic algal bloom linked to anomalous ocean conditions (193 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Environmental science, Upwelling, Wind stress and Estuary.
Barbara M. Hickey interconnects Climatology and Plume in the investigation of issues within Oceanography.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stratification, Atmospheric sciences and River mouth.
The concepts of her Upwelling study are interwoven with issues in Hydrography, Canyon, Submarine canyon and Salinity.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Latitude, Pressure gradient, Forcing, Sea level and Physical oceanography in addition to Wind stress.
Her Estuary research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phytoplankton, Regional Ocean Modeling System and Bay.
She most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (86.79%)
- Environmental science (36.79%)
- Upwelling (36.79%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Environmental science, Upwelling, Plume and Climatology.
Her work in Estuary, Continental shelf, Submarine pipeline, Wind stress and Regional Ocean Modeling System is related to Oceanography.
Her study on Estuarine water circulation is often connected to Streamflow as part of broader study in Estuary.
Her Continental shelf study combines topics in areas such as Hydrography and Salinity.
Her Upwelling research includes themes of Current and Canyon, Submarine canyon.
Her Plume study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phytoplankton, Ocean current and Plankton.
Between 2007 and 2018, her most popular works were:
- An unprecedented coastwide toxic algal bloom linked to anomalous ocean conditions (193 citations)
- Harmful algal blooms along the North American west coast region: History, trends, causes, and impacts (168 citations)
- River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems: Introduction and synthesis (131 citations)
