Monica F. Costa mainly focuses on Marine debris, Microplastics, Estuary, Fishery and Debris.
The Marine debris study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Biota, Pellets and Plage.
She has researched Ecology in several fields, including Zoology and Mojarra.
Her Microplastics study combines topics in areas such as Marine habitats and Plankton.
Her research in Estuary focuses on subjects like Drainage basin, which are connected to Trophic level.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Littoral zone, Trawling and Environmental engineering.
Her most cited work include:
- The present and future of microplastic pollution in the marine environment. (656 citations)
- The EMOTE model for effort and shape (344 citations)
- Fish and aquatic habitat conservation in South America: a continental overview with emphasis on neotropical systems (260 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Estuary, Microplastics, Fishery, Ecology and Marine debris.
Her Estuary research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wet season, Drainage basin, Water quality, Hydrology and Trophic level.
Her Microplastics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sampling, Pollution and Plankton.
Her Pollution research includes elements of Litter, Biota, Pollutant and Environmental protection.
Monica F. Costa usually deals with Fishery and limits it to topics linked to Ichthyoplankton and Zooplankton.
Her Marine debris study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Marine pollution and Physical geography.
She most often published in these fields:
- Estuary (29.73%)
- Microplastics (23.42%)
- Fishery (22.52%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

- Marine debris (17.12%)
- Pollution (15.32%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Monica F. Costa spends much of her time researching Microplastics, Marine debris, Pollution, Estuary and Oceanography.
Monica F. Costa interconnects Sampling and Pollutant in the investigation of issues within Microplastics.
Her work carried out in the field of Marine debris brings together such families of science as Trophic level, Apex predator, Marine pollution, Fishery and Litter.
Her research in Pollution intersects with topics in Biota and Environmental protection.
Her studies in Estuary integrate themes in fields like Habitat, Wet season, Seasonality and Hydrology, Water resources.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Marine conservation and Marine habitats in addition to Oceanography.
Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Distribution, sources and consequences of nutrients, persistent organic pollutants, metals and microplastics in South American estuaries. (84 citations)
- Plastic pollution in islands of the Atlantic Ocean. (67 citations)
- A critical review of the issue of cigarette butt pollution in coastal environments (56 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
