What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Plankton
Peter Ward focuses on Oceanography, Ecology, Zooplankton, Plankton and Phytoplankton.
When carried out as part of a general Oceanography research project, his work on Pacific ocean and North sea is frequently linked to work in General relationship, Analytical chemistry and Energy, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Zooplankton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Euphausia and Diel vertical migration.
His work in Euphausia covers topics such as Antarctic krill which are related to areas like Copepod.
His Plankton research focuses on Biomass and how it connects with Ridge, Productivity, SeaWiFS and Polar front.
While the research belongs to areas of Phytoplankton, Peter Ward spends his time largely on the problem of Diatom, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Abundance.
His most cited work include:
- Spatial and temporal operation of the Scotia Sea ecosystem: a review of large-scale links in a krill centred food web. (237 citations)
- Extensive dissolution of live pteropods in the Southern Ocean (212 citations)
- Evolving Geographic Patterns of Cenozoic Magmatism in the North American Cordillera: The Temporal and Spatial Association of Magmatism and Metamorphic Core Complexes (211 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Ecology, Zooplankton, Copepod and Plankton.
His research combines Phytoplankton and Oceanography.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Zoology and, on occasion, Range, Fecundity and Dry weight.
His Zooplankton study also includes
- Polar front which connect with Thysanoessa,
- Limacina helicina together with Limacina retroversa.
His work on Calanoida as part of general Copepod study is frequently connected to Mortality rate, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His research in Plankton intersects with topics in Oncaea, Algal bloom, Water mass, Chlorophyll a and Diel vertical migration.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (61.06%)
- Ecology (52.21%)
- Zooplankton (38.05%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?
- Oceanography (61.06%)
- Antarctic krill (19.47%)
- Krill (24.78%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Antarctic krill, Krill, Copepod and Pelagic zone.
His research on Oceanography frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Biogeography.
His research investigates the connection between Antarctic krill and topics such as Euphausia that intersect with problems in Thysanoessa.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abundance and Water column.
His Copepod study is concerned with the field of Ecology as a whole.
His study in Pelagic zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phytoplankton and Food web.
Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Attenuation of particulate organic carbon flux in the Scotia Sea, Southern Ocean, is controlled by zooplankton fecal pellets (59 citations)
- KRILLBASE: a circumpolar database of Antarctic krill and salp numerical densities, 1926–2016 (35 citations)
- The potential role of Antarctic krill faecal pellets in efficient carbon export at the marginal ice zone of the South Orkney Islands in spring (20 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Oceanography
- Genus
Peter Ward mainly investigates Oceanography, Krill, Antarctic krill, Euphausia and Water column.
Peter Ward regularly links together related areas like Organic matter in his Oceanography studies.
His Organic matter research integrates issues from Zooplankton, Diel vertical migration, Phytodetritus and Biological pump.
His Marine snow research includes elements of Food web, Bathyal zone and Mesopelagic zone.
His research links Phytoplankton with Pelagic zone.
Salp, Abundance and Raw data are fields of study that intersect with his Fisheries management research.
