The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Abyssal zone, Deep sea, Benthic boundary layer and Sediment.
Sea surface temperature is the focus of his Oceanography research.
His Abyssal zone research incorporates elements of Biomass, Seabed, Trophic level, Benthic zone and Phytodetritus.
His Deep sea research incorporates themes from Limiting oxygen concentration, Biodiversity and Plankton.
He has researched Benthic boundary layer in several fields, including Photic zone and Particulates.
Kenneth L. Smith interconnects Seafloor spreading and Mineralogy in the investigation of issues within Sediment.
His most cited work include:

- Free-drifting icebergs : Hot spots of chemical and biological enrichment in the weddell sea (190 citations)
- Climate, carbon cycling, and deep-ocean ecosystems. (164 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Abyssal zone, Deep sea, Benthic zone and Sediment.
His research ties Total organic carbon and Oceanography together.
His research investigates the connection between Abyssal zone and topics such as Ecology that intersect with problems in Sponge and Zoology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biomass, Abundance, Ecosystem and Biogeochemical cycle.
His study in Benthic zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sediment trap, Period and Pelagic zone.
The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Organic matter, Respirometer and Mineralogy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (76.30%)
- Abyssal zone (41.48%)
- Deep sea (26.67%)

- Oceanography (76.30%)
- Seafloor spreading (10.37%)
- Abyssal zone (41.48%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Seafloor spreading, Abyssal zone, Deep sea and Software deployment.
His study in the field of Benthic zone and Pelagic zone is also linked to topics like Time series study.
His study looks at the intersection of Benthic zone and topics like Sediment with Total organic carbon and Carbon cycle.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Ballast, Bathyal zone and Biogeochemistry in addition to Pelagic zone.
His work carried out in the field of Abyssal zone brings together such families of science as Water column, Invertebrate, Detritivore, Seabed and Metabolic theory of ecology.
His Deep sea course of study focuses on Abundance and Period, Demersal fish, Deep sea fish and Ecosystem.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Episodic organic carbon fluxes from surface ocean to abyssal depths during long-term monitoring in NE Pacific. (36 citations)
- Detection and characterisation of deep-sea benthopelagic animals from an autonomous underwater vehicle with a multibeam echosounder: A proof of concept and description of data-processing methods (14 citations)
- Abyssal deposit‐feeding rates consistent with the metabolic theory of ecology (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Ecosystem
Abyssal zone, Oceanography, Deep sea, Sediment and Detritivore are his primary areas of study.
His Abyssal zone research integrates issues from Ecology, Invertebrate, Organic matter and Metabolic theory of ecology.
His Oceanography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Abundance and Community structure.
His research integrates issues of Period, Seasonality and Detritus in his study of Deep sea.
His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Total organic carbon, Atmospheric sciences, Carbon cycle and Seabed.
The concepts of his Detritivore study are interwoven with issues in Abyssal plain, Porcupine Abyssal Plain, Water column and Aquatic ecosystem.
