Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

David S.M. Billett mainly investigates Oceanography, Ecology, Benthic zone, Porcupine Abyssal Plain and Abyssal plain. His work is dedicated to discovering how Oceanography, Paleontology are connected with Coral and other disciplines. His work on Ecosystem, Climate change and Meiobenthos as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Megafauna, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Benthic zone connects with themes related to Deep sea in his study. His Porcupine Abyssal Plain study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Range and Abyssal zone. David S.M. Billett combines subjects such as Benthos and Pelagic zone with his study of Bathyal zone.

His most cited work include:

  • Seasonal sedimentation of phytoplankton to the deep-sea benthos (806 citations)
  • Global Patterns and Predictions of Seafloor Biomass Using Random Forests (305 citations)
  • Long-term change in the megabenthos of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (NE Atlantic) (218 citations)

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

David S.M. Billett mainly focuses on Oceanography, Ecology, Deep sea, Benthic zone and Abyssal zone. His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abyssal plain and Porcupine Abyssal Plain. His research investigates the connection between Porcupine Abyssal Plain and topics such as Bathyal zone that intersect with problems in Spring bloom.

His research in the fields of Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Abundance overlaps with other disciplines such as Reproductive biology and Megafauna. The Deep sea study which covers Sediment that intersects with Organic matter. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Photic zone, Pelagic zone and Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (60.24%)
  • Ecology (42.17%)
  • Deep sea (28.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Ecology (42.17%)
  • Deep sea (28.31%)
  • Oceanography (60.24%)

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

David S.M. Billett focuses on Ecology, Deep sea, Oceanography, Benthic zone and Environmental resource management. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Abyssal zone and Biological dispersal. His work deals with themes such as Dominance and Porcupine Abyssal Plain, which intersect with Abyssal zone.

His Deep sea study incorporates themes from Continental shelf, Ecology, Community structure and Scale. In most of his Oceanography studies, his work intersects topics such as Mid-Atlantic Ridge. His research in Benthic zone focuses on subjects like Biomass, which are connected to Bathyal zone and Hermaphrodite.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Does Presence of a Mid-Ocean Ridge Enhance Biomass and Biodiversity? (164 citations)
  • Biotic and Human Vulnerability to Projected Changes in Ocean Biogeochemistry over the 21st Century (127 citations)
  • Biological responses to disturbance from simulated deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining (113 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Oceanography

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, Deep sea, Oceanography and Environmental resource management. His Marine ecosystem and Climate change study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Industrialisation. His Ecosystem research includes themes of Biodiversity and Fauna.

David S.M. Billett usually deals with Deep sea and limits it to topics linked to Community structure and Niche, Abyssal zone, Biogeochemistry and Organic matter. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Benthic zone in addition to Niche. His work on Bathymetry is typically connected to Sampling as part of general Oceanography study, connecting several disciplines of science.
