Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Enzyme

François Galgani focuses on Oceanography, Marine debris, Mediterranean sea, Debris and Microplastics. His work carried out in the field of Oceanography brings together such families of science as Abundance and Pollution. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Litter and Deep sea, which intersect with Marine debris.

His Mediterranean sea study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Canyon, Biomonitoring and Bioindicator. His study in the field of Plastic pollution is also linked to topics like Context. His studies deal with areas such as Manta trawl, Waste disposal, Plastisphere and Earth science as well as Great Pacific garbage patch.

His most cited work include:

  • Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments. (2192 citations)
  • Plastic Pollution in the World's Oceans: More than 5 Trillion Plastic Pieces Weighing over 250,000 Tons Afloat at Sea (1613 citations)
  • A global inventory of small floating plastic debris (551 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Marine debris, Mediterranean sea, Fishery and Ecology. His Microplastics, Bay, Continental shelf, Benthic zone and Foraminifera study are his primary interests in Oceanography. His Marine debris research is classified as research in Debris.

Debris and Plastic pollution are commonly linked in his work. His study looks at the relationship between Mediterranean sea and fields such as Environmental chemistry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work in Ecology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Deep sea.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (27.98%)
  • Marine debris (26.94%)
  • Mediterranean sea (22.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Marine debris (26.94%)
  • Mediterranean sea (22.28%)
  • Oceanography (27.98%)

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

His main research concerns Marine debris, Mediterranean sea, Oceanography, Litter and Mediterranean climate. His Marine debris research is within the category of Debris. His research in Mediterranean sea focuses on subjects like Fishery, which are connected to Protected area.

His research combines Biota and Oceanography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biodiversity, Benthic zone and Fishing in addition to Litter. His Mediterranean climate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spatial distribution, Ecosystem, Ocean current and Zooplankton.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bioindicators for monitoring marine litter ingestion and its impacts on Mediterranean biodiversity. (94 citations)
  • Toward the integrated marine debris observing system (72 citations)
  • Phthalate Release from Plastic Fragments and Degradation in Seawater. (70 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Enzyme
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Marine debris, Litter, Oceanography, Mediterranean sea and Debris. His studies in Marine debris integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Fauna, Fishing and Benthos. The various areas that he examines in his Litter study include Benthic zone and Environmental resource management.

His Mediterranean sea research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Fishery. François Galgani has included themes like Remote sensing, Satellite remote sensing and Systems engineering in his Debris study. He combines subjects such as Hazard and Circular economy with his study of Microplastics.
