Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Social science
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climate change, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Range and Ecosystem. Her work on Effects of global warming on oceans is typically connected to Resource dependence theory as part of general Climate change study, connecting several disciplines of science. In the subject of general Environmental resource management, her work in Marine conservation is often linked to Food security and Redistribution, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

In her research on the topic of Marine conservation, Overfishing is strongly related with Stakeholder engagement. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Population Decrease and Occupancy. In her study, Biodiversity, Species distribution, Invasive species and Impact assessment is inextricably linked to Natural resource, which falls within the broad field of Ecosystem.

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Climate change (35.15%)
  • Environmental planning (11.99%)
  • Ecology (29.70%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Environmental planning, Ecology, Citizen science and Biodiversity. Her study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range, Fishery, Fisheries management and Habitat. The Environmental planning study combines topics in areas such as Marine conservation, Sustainability, Stakeholder engagement and Sustainable development.

Her Ecology research focuses on Ecosystem, Marine ecosystem, Marine species, Macroecology and Effects of global warming on oceans. Her work in Ecosystem addresses subjects such as Cephalopod, which are connected to disciplines such as Trophic level. Her research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Traditional knowledge, Globe and Environmental resource management.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Managing consequences of climate-driven species redistribution requires integration of ecology, conservation and social science (70 citations)
  • Understanding interactions between plasticity, adaptation and range shifts in response to marine environmental change (42 citations)
  • Ecological connectivity between the areas beyond national jurisdiction and coastal waters: Safeguarding interests of coastal communities in developing countries (38 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Social science
  • Climate change

Gretta T. Pecl focuses on Climate change, Ecology, Habitat, Environmental planning and Marine ecosystem. Her Climate change research includes themes of Social science and Biodiversity. Her work in Range, Ecosystem and Adaptation are all subfields of Ecology research.

As part of the same scientific family, Gretta T. Pecl usually focuses on Habitat, concentrating on Global change and intersecting with Effects of global warming, Resource, Bioregion and Fisheries management. Her Marine ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology and Sustainability. Her research integrates issues of Natural resource and Environmental resource management in her study of Marine biodiversity.
