Overview

Charles L. Gallegos is affiliated with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in the United States. Their research specializes in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on subfields such as Oceanography and Global and Planetary Change.

The main topics covered in Gallegos's research include:

  • Marine and coastal ecosystems
  • Marine and fisheries research
  • Marine biology and ecology research

Gallegos has contributed to publications in venues such as Scientific Reports and UNC Libraries. Two recent papers illustrate their research interests:

  • "Seasonal to Inter-Annual Variability of Primary Production in Chesapeake Bay: Prospects to Reverse Eutrophication and Change Trophic Classification," published in 2020 in Scientific Reports
  • "Variable climatic conditions dominate recent phytoplankton dynamics in Chesapeake Bay," published in 2020 through UNC Libraries

Their frequent co-authors include:

  • Lawrence W. Harding
  • Michael E. Mallonee
  • Elgin S. Perry
