What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Genus
- Oceanography
His main research concerns Ecology, Benthic zone, Oceanography, Deep sea and Invertebrate.
His Benthic zone research incorporates themes from Dominance and Ecosystem.
His work on Hydrography and Greenhouse gas as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Aquaculture and Oxygen supply, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Les Watling combines subjects such as Bottom trawling and Biogeography with his study of Deep sea.
His Invertebrate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gorgonian, Taxon, Primnoidae, Alcyonacea and Taxonomy.
Sediment and Sedimentation is closely connected to Hydrology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Benthos.
His most cited work include:
- Disturbance of the Seabed by Mobile Fishing Gear: A Comparison to Forest Clearcutting (637 citations)
- Feeding capabilities and limitation of herbivorous molluscs: A functional group approach (502 citations)
- Efficacy of phospholipid analysis in determining microbial biomass in sediments. (344 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Les Watling mainly focuses on Ecology, Oceanography, Fishery, Deep sea and Crustacean.
His Amphipoda, Taxonomy, Habitat, Genus and Fauna study are his primary interests in Ecology.
His Oceanography study typically links adjacent topics like Ecosystem.
While the research belongs to areas of Fishery, he spends his time largely on the problem of Bay, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Estuary.
His Deep sea study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Primnoidae, Invertebrate, Gorgonian and Biogeography.
His work in Benthic zone addresses subjects such as Sediment, which are connected to disciplines such as Total organic carbon and Hydrology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (42.58%)
- Oceanography (25.16%)
- Fishery (24.52%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Oceanography (25.16%)
- Deep sea (18.06%)
- Deep sea mining (5.81%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Les Watling focuses on Oceanography, Deep sea, Deep sea mining, Biodiversity and Ecology.
Bathyal zone, Seamount and Benthic zone are the subjects of his Oceanography studies.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Abyssal zone, Paleontology, Nodule and Seabed in addition to Deep sea.
His Deep sea mining study incorporates themes from Ecosystem and Environmental impact assessment.
The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Environmental resource management in a number of ways.
His studies in Habitat integrate themes in fields like Range and Invertebrate.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Hydrothermal Vents and Methane Seeps: Rethinking the Sphere of Influence (132 citations)
- Taxonomy based on science is necessary for global conservation. (80 citations)
- Biodiversity loss from deep-sea mining (77 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Genus
- Oceanography
His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Bottom trawling, Fishery, Deep sea mining and Environmental impact assessment.
His research in Oceanography is mostly concerned with Benthic zone.
His study focuses on the intersection of Benthic zone and fields such as Ecosystem with connections in the field of Deep sea.
The concepts of his Bottom trawling study are interwoven with issues in Discards, Fisheries management, Overfishing and Grenadiers.
His Fishery research includes elements of Habitat destruction, Marine ecosystem and Seamount.
The various areas that Les Watling examines in his Deep sea mining study include Ecology, Biodiversity, Marine Biology, Aquatic biodiversity research and Environmental resource management.
