Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Ecology
  • Oceanography

David A. Siegel focuses on Oceanography, Ocean color, Phytoplankton, SeaWiFS and Colored dissolved organic matter. David A. Siegel has researched Ocean color in several fields, including Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His Phytoplankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Productivity, Ecosystem and Plankton.

The concepts of his SeaWiFS study are interwoven with issues in Remote sensing, Radiance and Ocean gyre. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Marine Optical Buoy and Optics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Absorption and Biosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • Ocean Color Chlorophyll Algorithms for SEAWIFS (1791 citations)
  • Climate-driven trends in contemporary ocean productivity (1437 citations)
  • Influence of mesoscale eddies on new production in the Sargasso Sea (741 citations)

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

David A. Siegel spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Ocean color, Ecology and Atmospheric sciences. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Photic zone and Biogeochemical cycle. In his work, Productivity is strongly intertwined with Biomass, which is a subfield of Phytoplankton.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Colored dissolved organic matter, Remote sensing, Radiance, SeaWiFS and Bio optical in addition to Ocean color. David A. Siegel has included themes like Biological dispersal, Metapopulation and Genetic structure in his Ecology study. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Flux, Irradiance, Hydrology and Mixed layer, Meteorology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (45.61%)
  • Phytoplankton (18.41%)
  • Ocean color (16.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Oceanography (45.61%)
  • Carbon (5.02%)
  • Remote sensing (10.04%)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Carbon, Remote sensing, Kelp and Environmental chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Marine ecosystem and Eddy as well as Oceanography. The various areas that David A. Siegel examines in his Carbon study include Diel vertical migration, Atmospheric sciences and Flux.

His Remote sensing research incorporates elements of Shore, Ocean color and Underwater. His Ocean color research includes themes of Sunglint, Spring bloom, Colored dissolved organic matter and Radiometric calibration. As part of one scientific family, David A. Siegel deals mainly with the area of Zooplankton, narrowing it down to issues related to the Grazing, and often Phytoplankton.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multi-faceted particle pumps drive carbon sequestration in the ocean (106 citations)
  • STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2017 (67 citations)
  • Satellite sensor requirements for monitoring essential biodiversity variables of coastal ecosystems (51 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Ecology
  • Oceanography

His main research concerns Oceanography, Carbon, Remote sensing, Biogeochemistry and Atmospheric sciences. His research in Oceanography is mostly concerned with Plankton. His Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Phytoplankton pigments, Ecology, Spectral absorption and Habitat fragmentation.

His research in Biogeochemistry tackles topics such as Ocean gyre which are related to areas like Diel vertical migration, Zooplankton and Biomass. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photic zone and Earth system science in addition to Atmospheric sciences. His Photic zone research incorporates themes from Climate change and Ecosystem.
