Overview

E. Walter Helbling is affiliated with the National Scientific and Technical Research Council in Argentina. Their scientific work focuses primarily on Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, with significant contributions to subfields such as Oceanography, Ecology, Pollution, Environmental Chemistry, and Atmospheric Science.

Themes central to their research include marine and coastal ecosystems, marine biology and ecology research, ocean acidification effects and responses, aquatic ecosystems and phytoplankton dynamics, microbial community ecology and physiology, microplastics and plastic pollution, and pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Helbling include Virginia E. Villafañe, Marco J. Cabrerizo, Maite Narvarte, Raúl González, and Juan I. Vizzo. Their work has been published extensively in scientific venues such as The Science of The Total Environment, Marine Environmental Research, Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, and New Phytologist.

Among recent papers authored or coauthored by Helbling are:

  • "The impact of extreme weather events exceeds those due to global-change drivers on coastal phytoplankton assemblages", 2024, The Science of The Total Environment
  • "Anthropogenic pollution of aquatic ecosystems: Emerging problems with global implications", 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • "Extreme and gradual rainfall effects on winter and summer estuarine phytoplankton communities from Patagonia (Argentina)", 2020, Marine Environmental Research
  • "Impact of Increased Nutrients and Lowered pH on Photosynthesis and Growth of Three Marine Phytoplankton Communities From the Coastal South West Atlantic (Patagonia, Argentina)", 2021, Frontiers in Marine Science
  • "Influence of fluctuating irradiance on photosynthesis, growth and community structure of estuarine phytoplankton under increased nutrients and acidification", 2020, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology

Helbling has also contributed to book literature, including the publication "Global Change in Atlantic Coastal Patagonian Ecosystems" in 2022, released by Springer International Publishing.
