Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Ecology, Lophelia, Reef and Coral reef. His work on Oceanography deals in particular with Benthic zone, Bathyal zone and Deep sea. In his research on the topic of Ecology, Protected area is strongly related with Fishery.

His Lophelia study contributes to a more complete understanding of Coral. His Coral research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trophic level and Habitat. His work on Environmental issues with coral reefs as part of general Coral reef research is frequently linked to Ice age, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Reefs of the Deep: The Biology and Geology of Cold-Water Coral Ecosystems (672 citations)
  • Monitoring environmental variability around cold-water coral reefs: the use of a benthic photolander and the potential of seafloor observatories (474 citations)
  • Cold-water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats. (404 citations)

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

J. Murray Roberts mostly deals with Oceanography, Ecology, Reef, Coral and Coral reef. His work in the fields of Marine protected area and Range overlaps with other areas such as Smothering. His Reef study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Marine ecosystem.

His work carried out in the field of Coral brings together such families of science as Ocean acidification, Biodiversity, Sediment and Habitat. His studies in Coral reef integrate themes in fields like Species richness and Atoll. The various areas that J. Murray Roberts examines in his Lophelia study include Deep-water coral and Fauna.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (98.50%)
  • Ecology (67.67%)
  • Reef (63.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Habitat (27.07%)
  • Ecosystem (19.55%)
  • Biodiversity (14.29%)

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

His primary areas of study are Habitat, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Coral and Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Reef, Coral reef and Substrate in addition to Coral. He has researched Reef in several fields, including Ocean acidification, Macrobenthos and Cruise.

His studies deal with areas such as Habitat destruction and Benthos, Benthic zone as well as Coral reef. His Ocean current research focuses on Subtropics and how it connects with Oceanography. His Range research includes themes of Lophelia and Deep sea.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Observational Needs and Resources for Marine Biodiversity (36 citations)
  • Climate‐induced changes in the suitable habitat of cold‐water corals and commercially important deep‐sea fishes in the North Atlantic (17 citations)
  • Distribution of deep-sea sponge aggregations in an area of multisectoral activities and changing oceanic conditions (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Biodiversity

J. Murray Roberts focuses on Habitat, Ecosystem, Marine protected area, Environmental resource management and Biodiversity. His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Coral, Bottom trawling, Transect and Fishing. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water mass, Species richness and Fishery.

J. Murray Roberts has included themes like Microplastics, Coral reef, Benthos and Demersal zone in his Marine protected area study. His Environmental resource management study incorporates themes from Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Biome and Temporal scales. His research on Biodiversity concerns the broader Ecology.
