Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem services, Wetland and Habitat. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fecundity and Shore. His work carried out in the field of Environmental resource management brings together such families of science as Ecosystem health, Marine ecosystem, Ecosystem and Biodiversity conservation, Biodiversity action plan.

His research in Wetland intersects with topics in Coastal hazards and Vegetation. Storm, Water resource management, Flood myth and Bay is closely connected to Salt marsh in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Coastal hazards. His Habitat study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abundance and Species richness.

His most cited work include:

  • The Identification, Conservation, and Management of Estuarine and Marine Nurseries for Fish and Invertebrates (1775 citations)
  • Loss, status and trends for coastal marine habitats of Europe (633 citations)
  • Oyster Reefs at Risk and Recommendations for Conservation, Restoration, and Management (604 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental resource management, Ecology, Habitat, Coral reef and Ecosystem services. The Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Climate change, Marine ecosystem and Restoration ecology. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Zoology.

Michael W. Beck has included themes like Biodiversity, Overexploitation, Fishery, Intertidal zone and Overfishing in his Habitat study. His Coral reef research focuses on Reef and how it relates to Coastal erosion. His Ecosystem services research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Coastal hazards and Marsh.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental resource management (26.28%)
  • Ecology (19.87%)
  • Habitat (17.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Coral reef (16.03%)
  • Climate change (16.67%)
  • Flood myth (12.82%)

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

Coral reef, Climate change, Flood myth, Natural resource economics and Habitat are his primary areas of study. His Coral reef research includes themes of Reef, Marine ecosystem and Coastal hazards. His Climate change research includes elements of Ecosystem and Shore.

His Flood myth research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Coastal flood, Valuation and Mangrove. His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fishery and Biome. His Fishery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Resource, Intertidal zone, Salt marsh and Threatened species.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The global flood protection savings provided by coral reefs (88 citations)
  • Are coastal habitats important nurseries? A meta‐analysis (48 citations)
  • Comparing the cost effectiveness of nature-based and coastal adaptation: A case study from the Gulf Coast of the United States. (47 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His main research concerns Natural resource economics, Coastal flood, Flood myth, Climate change and Coral reef. The concepts of his Flood myth study are interwoven with issues in Marine conservation, Valuation and Nature Conservation. His studies deal with areas such as Green infrastructure and Bay as well as Climate change.

His work deals with themes such as Reef, Coastal erosion, Shore and Benthic zone, which intersect with Coral reef. He focuses mostly in the field of Mangrove, narrowing it down to matters related to Accretion and, in some cases, Habitat. The study incorporates disciplines such as Juvenile, Marsh and Abiotic component in addition to Habitat.
