Nicholas J. P. Owens

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Oceanography
• Nitrogen

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Estuary, Nitrogen, Phytoplankton and Water column. Nicholas J. P. Owens is interested in Upwelling, which is a branch of Oceanography. His work carried out in the field of Estuary brings together such families of science as Hydrology and Salinity.

His research integrates issues of Productivity and New production in his study of Nitrogen. His research investigates the link between Phytoplankton and topics such as Chlorophyll b that cross with problems in Ecology. Nicholas J. P. Owens works mostly in the field of Water column, limiting it down to topics relating to Nitrification and, in certain cases, Total organic carbon, Denitrification, Nitrate, Fluidized bed and Surface water.

His most cited work include:

• The fate of nitrogen and phosphorus at the land-sea margin of the North Atlantic Ocean (703 citations)
• Natural variations in 15N in the marine environment (394 citations)
• Microzooplankton grazing and selectivity of phytoplankton in coastal waters (234 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Nitrogen, Nitrate and Environmental chemistry. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient and Biogeochemical cycle. His work on Algal bloom as part of his general Phytoplankton study is frequently connected to Marginal ice zone, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His work deals with themes such as Isotope-ratio mass spectrometry and Chromatography, which intersect with Nitrogen. His Nitrate study deals with Ammonium intersecting with Bay, Microbial ecology, Anaerobic oxidation of methane, Methylomonas and Biochemistry. His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Nitrate uptake, Water column, Chemiluminescence, Hydrology and Nitrogen cycle.

He most often published in these fields:

• Oceanography (49.28%)
• Phytoplankton (27.54%)
• Nitrogen (27.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2020)?

• Phytoplankton (27.54%)
• Oceanography (49.28%)
• Ammonium (20.29%)

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

Nicholas J. P. Owens mostly deals with Phytoplankton, Oceanography, Ammonium, Nitrogen and Assimilation. His work on New production as part of general Phytoplankton research is frequently linked to Context, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Many of his research projects under Oceanography are closely connected to Environmental resource management with Environmental resource management, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Photochemistry, Absorbance, Dissolved organic carbon and Colored dissolved organic matter in addition to Nitrogen. His Assimilation research incorporates themes from Algae, Diatom and Nitrogen assimilation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Drainage basin, Hydrology, Estuary, Turbidity and Saturation in addition to Salinity.

Between 1999 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Methane in the southern North Sea: Low-salinity inputs, estuarine removal, and atmospheric flux (130 citations)
• Bacterial diversity in the bacterioneuston (sea surface microlayer): the bacterioneuston through the looking glass (85 citations)
• The large capacity for dark nitrate‐assimilation in diatoms may overcome nitrate limitation of growth (78 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Oceanography
• Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nitrate, Oceanography, Sea surface microlayer, Pseudoalteromonas and Microbiology. The various areas that he examines in his Nitrate study include Ammonium and Algae, Botany, Darkness. His Oceanography research integrates issues from Phytoplankton, Spring bloom and Algal bloom.

His Sea surface microlayer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neuston, Library, 16S ribosomal RNA and Vibrio.
