Ken Ridgway

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Oceanography
• Ecology
• Climate change

Ken Ridgway mainly investigates Oceanography, Climatology, Sea level, Continental shelf and Bathythermograph. His research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Ecology and Marine ecosystem. He studies Climatology, focusing on Boundary current in particular.

His work in Boundary current tackles topics such as Outflow which are related to areas like Bathymetry. Ken Ridgway combines subjects such as Photic zone, Shore, Water mass, Plankton and Physical oceanography with his study of Sea level. The Continental shelf study combines topics in areas such as Wind stress and Oceanic climate.

His most cited work include:

• Ocean Interpolation by Four-Dimensional Weighted Least Squares—Application to the Waters around Australasia (400 citations)
• Long-term trend and decadal variability of the southward penetration of the East Australian Current (394 citations)
• Climate change cascades: Shifts in oceanography, species' ranges and subtidal marine community dynamics in eastern Tasmania (387 citations)

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

Ken Ridgway mostly deals with Oceanography, Climatology, Boundary current, Sea surface temperature and Ocean current. The various areas that Ken Ridgway examines in his Oceanography study include Range and Ecology. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trend surface analysis, Ocean gyre, Sea level and Physical oceanography.

His studies in Trend surface analysis integrate themes in fields like Salinity, Temperature salinity diagrams and South Pacific Gyre. His Boundary current research incorporates themes from Bathythermograph, Equator, Inflow and Anticyclone. His Ocean current research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmospheric sciences and Front.

He most often published in these fields:

• Oceanography (76.67%)
• Climatology (60.00%)
• Boundary current (38.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

• Oceanography (76.67%)
• Boundary current (38.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Boundary current, Climatology, Anticyclone and Ocean dynamics. As part of his studies on Oceanography, he often connects relevant subjects like Phytoplankton. His Boundary current study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mooring and Equator.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Thermohaline circulation, Thermocline, Climate change, Water mass and South Pacific convergence zone. His study ties his expertise on Sea level together with the subject of Climatology. His Anticyclone research incorporates elements of Satellite altimetry, Geophysics, Latitude and Barotropic fluid.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• The Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and climate experiment (SPICE) (78 citations)
• IMOS National Reference Stations: A Continental-Wide Physical, Chemical and Biological Coastal Observing System (52 citations)
• The East Australian Current and Property Transport at 27°S from 2012 to 2013 (37 citations)

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

• Oceanography
• Ecology
• Climate change

Ken Ridgway spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Boundary current, Sea surface temperature, Climatology and Submarine pipeline. Many of his studies on Oceanography apply to Environmental monitoring as well. His research integrates issues of Biological oceanography, Phytoplankton, Ocean acidification and Plankton in his study of Environmental monitoring.

His work in Submarine pipeline addresses subjects such as Temperature salinity diagrams, which are connected to disciplines such as Continental shelf. Ken Ridgway has researched Downwelling in several fields, including Carpentaria, Tide gauge, Sea level, Altimeter and Monsoon. His work deals with themes such as Thermocline, Climate change, Water mass, South Pacific convergence zone and Equator, which intersect with Thermohaline circulation.
