Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Internal medicine

His main research concerns Ecology, Oceanography, Energetics, Foraging and Predation. His research in Abundance, Apex predator, Habitat, Alluroteuthis antarcticus and Gonatus antarcticus are components of Ecology. His research links Elephant seal with Oceanography.

Michael A. Fedak has researched Energetics in several fields, including Zoology, Mammal and Terrestrial locomotion. His study ties his expertise on Fishery together with the subject of Foraging. His Continental shelf research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Productivity, Benthic zone, Bathymetry and Peninsula.

His most cited work include:

  • Foraging ecology of southern elephant seals in relation to the bathymetry and productivity of the Southern Ocean (426 citations)
  • Estimating space-use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data (319 citations)
  • One-step N2-dilution technique for calibrating open-circuit VO2 measuring systems (313 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Oceanography, Foraging, Continental shelf and Fishery. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Weaning and Animal science. His Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Basal metabolic rate, Endocrinology, Metabolic rate, Internal medicine and Energy metabolism.

His Oceanography study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Climatology. His Foraging research includes themes of Range, Underwater, Predation, Circumpolar star and Bathymetry. Michael A. Fedak combines subjects such as Ice shelf, Bay, Marine mammal and Temperature salinity diagrams with his study of Continental shelf.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (35.46%)
  • Oceanography (29.08%)
  • Foraging (21.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Oceanography (29.08%)
  • Continental shelf (14.18%)
  • Sea ice (9.22%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Continental shelf, Sea ice, Foraging and Ecology. His research in Continental shelf intersects with topics in Circumpolar star and Ecosystem. His Sea ice research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Ontogeny and Weaning.

His Foraging study frequently links to related topics such as Predation. The various areas that Michael A. Fedak examines in his Predation study include Climate change, Fishery and Habitat. His study of Animal ecology is a part of Ecology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Circumpolar habitat use in the southern elephant seal: implications for foraging success and population trajectories (119 citations)
  • Marine mammals exploring the oceans pole to pole: a review of the MEOP Consortium (66 citations)
  • Animal-borne telemetry: An integral component of the ocean observing toolkit (64 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Internal medicine

Michael A. Fedak mainly focuses on Continental shelf, Oceanography, Sea ice, Fishery and Arctic ice pack. The Continental shelf study which covers Ecosystem that intersects with Fishing, Ecological significance, Predation and Climate change. His research on Oceanography often connects related topics like Ocean gyre.

His research integrates issues of Elephant seal, Ecology, Foraging, Circumpolar star and Marine habitats in his study of Sea ice. The Fishery study combines topics in areas such as Ursus maritimus, Arctic, Aquatic ecosystem and Adult female. His Arctic ice pack research includes elements of Cryosphere and Ice sheet.
