Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

Larry P. Atkinson spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Upwelling, Continental shelf, Gulf Stream and Hydrography. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Climatology and Oceanography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phytoplankton, Stratification and Fishery.

The concepts of his Continental shelf study are interwoven with issues in Surface runoff, Seawater, Discharge, Dissolved organic carbon and Terrestrial ecosystem. His Discharge research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Watershed, Phosphorus and Nutrient. His work deals with themes such as Shoal and Eddy, which intersect with Gulf Stream.

His most cited work include:

  • The fate of nitrogen and phosphorus at the land-sea margin of the North Atlantic Ocean (703 citations)
  • Observations of a Gulf Stream frontal eddy on the Georgia continental shelf, April 1977 (221 citations)
  • Gulf Stream's induced sea level rise and variability along the U.S. mid‐Atlantic coast (207 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Gulf Stream, Continental shelf, Upwelling and Hydrography. Oceanography and Climatology are frequently intertwined in his study. His work in Gulf Stream tackles topics such as Phytoplankton which are related to areas like Nitrate.

Larry P. Atkinson has included themes like Wind stress, Water mass, Productivity and Nutrient in his Continental shelf study. His studies in Upwelling integrate themes in fields like Photic zone, Stratification, Transect and Plankton. Larry P. Atkinson works mostly in the field of Hydrography, limiting it down to concerns involving Zooplankton and, occasionally, Water column.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (78.87%)
  • Gulf Stream (35.92%)
  • Continental shelf (33.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Oceanography (78.87%)
  • Climatology (16.90%)
  • Storm surge (5.63%)

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

Oceanography, Climatology, Storm surge, Climate change and Ocean current are his primary areas of study. His work in Oceanography is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Remote sensing. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Storm and Tide gauge, Sea level.

His Ocean current research incorporates elements of Current, Meteorology and Bay. His Gulf Stream research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Latitude and Global climate. His Hydrography research incorporates themes from Nutrient and Cruise.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Gulf Stream's induced sea level rise and variability along the U.S. mid‐Atlantic coast (207 citations)
  • Carbon and nutrient fluxes in continental margins : a global synthesis (146 citations)
  • Accelerated flooding along the U.S. East Coast: On the impact of sea‐level rise, tides, storms, the Gulf Stream, and the North Atlantic Oscillations (112 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Oceanography, Climatology, Continental shelf, Biogeochemical cycle and Biogeochemistry. His work on Ocean current as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work on Gulf Stream and Shelf circulation as part of general Climatology research is often related to Cape, thus linking different fields of science.

His Gulf Stream study combines topics in areas such as Coastal flood, Flood myth, Climate change and Current. His Continental shelf study incorporates themes from Ecology, Nutrient, Hydrography and Earth science. His research integrates issues of Indian ocean and Boundary current in his study of Biogeochemistry.
