Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Estuary
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Sediment, Environmental chemistry, Estuary, Salt marsh and Hydrology. The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Organic matter, Water pollution, Biogeochemical cycle and Anoxic waters. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Shellfish, Aquatic animal and Gill.

His Estuary study is related to the wider topic of Oceanography. Carlos Vale combines subjects such as Spartina maritima and Halimione portulacoides with his study of Salt marsh. Carlos Vale interconnects Structural basin, Particulates, Pollution, Seawater and Biogeochemistry in the investigation of issues within Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Halogenated compounds from marine algae. (176 citations)
  • Evaluation of eutrophication in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon, Portugal (169 citations)
  • Accumulation of Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr and Ni in Sediments Between Roots of the Tagus Estuary Salt Marshes, Portugal (140 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Sediment, Estuary, Ecology and Oceanography. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Organic matter, Contamination and Aquatic animal. His study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Salt marsh, Water column, Hydrology, Pore water pressure and Pollution.

Carlos Vale has researched Estuary in several fields, including Total organic carbon, Oyster, Seasonality, Particulates and Turbidity. His work in Ecology addresses subjects such as Zoology, which are connected to disciplines such as Gill. His research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Ecosystem and Biogeochemical cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (45.33%)
  • Sediment (38.67%)
  • Estuary (29.33%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (45.33%)
  • Sediment (38.67%)
  • Contamination (13.33%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Sediment, Contamination, Estuary and Sorption. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ulva lactuca, Fucus vesiculosus and Salinity. The various areas that Carlos Vale examines in his Sediment study include Loss on ignition, Oceanography, Pollution and Geochemistry.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Particulates and Mytilus. His Hydrology research includes elements of Nutrient, Environmental engineering, Sewage and Nitrate. His studies deal with areas such as Ionic strength and Sorbent as well as Sorption.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Microplastics in wild fish from North East Atlantic Ocean and its potential for causing neurotoxic effects, lipid oxidative damage, and human health risks associated with ingestion exposure (83 citations)
  • Major and trace elements in soils and ashes of eucalypt and pine forest plantations in Portugal following a wildfire. (51 citations)
  • Chromium removal from contaminated waters using nanomaterials – A review (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Enzyme

Environmental chemistry, Contamination, Estuary, Sediment and Bioaccumulation are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Ulva lactuca and Soil water. Contamination is a subfield of Ecology that Carlos Vale studies.

Estuary is a subfield of Oceanography that Carlos Vale explores. His studies deal with areas such as Sedimentary rock and Biogeochemical cycle as well as Sediment. His research investigates the connection between Bioaccumulation and topics such as Water quality that intersect with problems in Environmental engineering, Biomonitoring, Biota and Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
