Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Habitat, Oceanography, Apex predator and Sea surface temperature. His studies in Habitat integrate themes in fields like Range, Climatology, Climate change and Upwelling. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spatial ecology, Marine conservation and Remote sensing.

His study focuses on the intersection of Apex predator and fields such as Marine life with connections in the field of Electronic tagging. The Sea surface temperature study combines topics in areas such as Bycatch, Oceanic zone, Rookery and Foraging. His Marine ecosystem research includes themes of Biomass, Reef, Fishery and Marine reserve.

His most cited work include:

  • Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean (780 citations)
  • Migratory shearwaters integrate oceanic resources across the Pacific Ocean in an endless summer. (379 citations)
  • Predicted habitat shifts of Pacific top predators in a changing climate (256 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Ecology, Foraging, Habitat and Pelagic zone. His Oceanography research incorporates themes from Climatology and Fishery. Ecology connects with themes related to Sea surface temperature in his study.

His Foraging research incorporates elements of Predation, Animal ecology, Bycatch, Turtle and Albatross. David G. Foley interconnects Range, Cetacea and Sooty shearwater in the investigation of issues within Habitat. David G. Foley works mostly in the field of Pelagic zone, limiting it down to topics relating to Remote sensing and, in certain cases, Rossby wave and Electronic tagging, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (101.75%)
  • Ecology (89.47%)
  • Foraging (64.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Oceanography (101.75%)
  • Ecology (89.47%)
  • Endangered species (8.77%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Ecology, Endangered species, Habitat and Fishery. Particularly relevant to Coral reef is his body of work in Oceanography. His research on Coral reef often connects related areas such as Ecosystem.

David G. Foley performs integrative study on Ecology and Swordfish in his works. Endangered species and Turtle are commonly linked in his work.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Predicting overlap between drift gillnet fishing and leatherback turtle habitat in the California Current Ecosystem (13 citations)
  • Predicting overlap between drift gillnet fishing and leatherback turtle habitat in the California Current Ecosystem (13 citations)
  • Correction: Quantifying Climatological Ranges and Anomalies for Pacific Coral Reef Ecosystems. (0 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

David G. Foley mainly focuses on Oceanography, Endangered species, Habitat, Fishery and Fisheries management. He is interested in Coral reef, which is a field of Oceanography. His study on Coral reef is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Ecosystem.

He has included themes like Bycatch, Fishing, Turtle and Foraging in his Endangered species study. His research on Habitat concerns the broader Ecology.
