What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Ecosystem
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zooplankton, Oceanography, Environmental science, Seasonality and Subarctic climate.
His Zooplankton research is classified as research in Ecology.
His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Trophic level and Phenology.
In his works, David L. Mackas performs multidisciplinary study on Environmental science and Climatology.
His work investigates the relationship between Seasonality and topics such as Biomass that intersect with problems in Species diversity, Species richness and Abundance.
His Subarctic climate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pelagic zone and Neocalanus.
His most cited work include:
- An objective method for computing advective surface velocities from sequential infrared satellite images (275 citations)
- Effects on zooplankton of a warmer ocean: Recent evidence from the Northeast Pacific (212 citations)
- Changes in the zooplankton community of the British Columbia continental margin, 1985-1999, and their covariation with oceanographic conditions (200 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Oceanography, Zooplankton, Environmental science, Ecology and Biomass are his primary areas of study.
His work on Subarctic climate, Continental shelf, Plankton and Upwelling is typically connected to Ocean gyre as part of general Oceanography study, connecting several disciplines of science.
He interconnects Scattering, Spatial distribution and Fjord in the investigation of issues within Continental shelf.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance, Copepod, Neocalanus and Seasonality in addition to Zooplankton.
When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Temporal scales, Community dynamics, Aquatic animal and Aquatic organisms is frequently linked to work in Simulation modeling, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Climatology research incorporates themes from Productivity, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (78.12%)
- Zooplankton (59.38%)
- Environmental science (40.62%)
