The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Phytoplankton
Her primary areas of study are Phytoplankton, Oceanography, New production, Upwelling and Bay.
Her studies in Phytoplankton integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry and Eutrophication.
Her research integrates issues of Photic zone, Mineralogy, Physical geography, Mediterranean sea and Nitrate in her study of New production.
She has included themes like Diatom and Plankton in her Upwelling study.
Her Bay course of study focuses on Acropora and Algae and Botany.
Her research in Botany intersects with topics in Genome and Plastid.
Her most cited work include:
- The Genome of the Diatom Thalassiosira Pseudonana: Ecology, Evolution, and Metabolism (1568 citations)
- Silicate regulation of new production in the equatorial Pacific upwelling (429 citations)
- The use of 15N to measure nitrogen uptake in eutrophic oceans; experimental considerations1,2 (372 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Upwelling, New production and Nitrate.
Many of her research projects under Oceanography are closely connected to Streamflow with Streamflow, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
Her studies deal with areas such as Biochemistry and Chlorophyll a as well as Diatom.
The Phytoplankton study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Estuary and Plankton.
The Upwelling study which covers Ocean current that intersects with Spatial ecology.
Her work in New production covers topics such as Atmospheric sciences which are related to areas like Biogeochemistry.
She most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (59.52%)
- Phytoplankton (59.52%)
- Upwelling (38.10%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Frances P. Wilkerson mainly investigates Phytoplankton, Oceanography, Estuary, Upwelling and Ecosystem.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry and Nitrate.
Her research investigates the link between Oceanography and topics such as Chlorophyll that cross with problems in Photic zone.
Her work deals with themes such as Biomass and Pelagic zone, which intersect with Estuary.
Her Upwelling study deals with New production intersecting with Current.
Plankton is the focus of her Ecology research.
Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Pluses and minuses of ammonium and nitrate uptake and assimilation by phytoplankton and implications for productivity and community composition, with emphasis on nitrogen-enriched conditions (259 citations)
- The origins of the anomalous warming in the California coastal ocean and San Francisco Bay during 2014–2016 (14 citations)
- Nutrients and Harmful Algal Blooms: Dynamic Kinetics and Flexible Nutrition (11 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Bacteria
Eutrophication, Nutrient, Algal bloom, Ecology and Oceanography are her primary areas of study.
The various areas that Frances P. Wilkerson examines in her Eutrophication study include Photosynthesis, Nutrient management, Biomass, Nutrient pollution and Plankton.
Frances P. Wilkerson studies Nutrient, namely Phytoplankton.
Her work on Bay, Estuary and Temperature salinity diagrams as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Tide gauge, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Her Bay study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Hindcast, Salinity and Ocean heat content.
