Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Oceanography, Deep sea, Biodiversity and Ecosystem. His study ties his expertise on Abyssal zone together with the subject of Ecology. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Organic matter, Sediment and Species diversity.

The Deep sea study which covers Community structure that intersects with Test. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Peninsula, Spatial heterogeneity, Fauna and Deep sea mining. His work in the fields of Ecosystem, such as Biological pump, overlaps with other areas such as Below sea level, Legislation and Manganese nodule.

His most cited work include:

  • The Southern Ocean Ecosystem Under Multiple Climate Change Stresses - An Integrated Circumpolar Assessment (132 citations)
  • Hawaiian hotspots: enhanced megafaunal abundance and diversity in submarine canyons on the oceanic islands of Hawaii (129 citations)
  • Polychaete species diversity in the central Pacific abyss: Local and regional patterns and relationships with productivity (119 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Ecology, Deep sea, Abyssal zone and Remotely operated underwater vehicle. His Oceanography research integrates issues from Sediment and Fishery. His work on Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Species richness and Habitat is typically connected to Whale fall as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

The various areas that Craig R. Smith examines in his Biodiversity study include Deep sea mining and Biogeography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seafloor spreading and Community structure. His Abyssal zone research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Abyssal plain, Fauna, Seamount, Nodule and Pacific ocean.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (63.40%)
  • Ecology (37.11%)
  • Deep sea (19.59%)

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

  • Oceanography (63.40%)
  • Ecosystem (15.98%)
  • Ecology (37.11%)

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

Craig R. Smith mostly deals with Oceanography, Ecosystem, Ecology, Abyssal zone and Benthic zone. Craig R. Smith has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Sediment and Peninsula. His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Deep sea, Biodiversity, Climate change and Environmental resource management.

Craig R. Smith integrates several fields in his works, including Ecology and Whale fall. The study incorporates disciplines such as Foraminifera, Abyssal plain and Seamount in addition to Abyssal zone. His Benthic zone study which covers Pelagic zone that intersects with Benthic boundary layer.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Observing Needs in the Deep Ocean (54 citations)
  • Ecological variables for developing a global deep-ocean monitoring and conservation strategy (26 citations)
  • Key role of bacteria in the short‐term cycling of carbon at the abyssal seafloor in a low particulate organic carbon flux region of the eastern Pacific Ocean (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Oceanography

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Benthic zone and Abyssal plain. When carried out as part of a general Oceanography research project, his work on Fjord is frequently linked to work in Circumpolar deep water, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Craig R. Smith has included themes like Deep sea, Climate change and Pelagic zone in his Ecosystem study.

Craig R. Smith combines subjects such as Seabed and Habitat with his study of Deep sea. His Biodiversity research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. His study explores the link between Abyssal plain and topics such as Environmental DNA that cross with problems in Abyssal zone.
