What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
His main research concerns Microplastics, Ecology, Environmental chemistry, Debris and Marine debris.
His Plastic pollution study, which is part of a larger body of work in Microplastics, is frequently linked to Circulatory system, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His study looks at the relationship between Ecology and topics such as Ingestion, which overlap with Litter, Substrate, Mytilus and Zoology.
His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Seawater, Contamination and Pollutant.
His studies deal with areas such as Wildlife, Environmental planning, Hydrology, Plastic waste and Water pollutants as well as Debris.
His study in Marine debris is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental monitoring, Fishery, Marine habitats and Sink.
His most cited work include:
- Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments. (2192 citations)
- Lost at sea: where is all the plastic? (1959 citations)
- Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks (1575 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Richard C. Thompson focuses on Ecology, Microplastics, Intertidal zone, Habitat and Oceanography.
His Microplastics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Marine debris, Debris and Fishery.
His work deals with themes such as Carcinus maenas, Climate change, Grazing and Predation, which intersect with Intertidal zone.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural, Community structure and Shore in addition to Habitat.
His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Sediment and Biota.
In his study, Pollution is strongly linked to Pollutant, which falls under the umbrella field of Environmental chemistry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (42.06%)
- Microplastics (28.97%)
- Intertidal zone (18.25%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Microplastics (28.97%)
- Marine debris (12.70%)
- Plastic pollution (7.14%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard C. Thompson spends much of his time researching Microplastics, Marine debris, Plastic pollution, Environmental resource management and Debris.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seawater, Zoology and Fishery.
His research investigates the connection between Marine debris and topics such as Environmental protection that intersect with problems in Harm and Hazard.
His Plastic pollution research includes themes of Compromise, Risk analysis and Global issue.
He combines subjects such as Natural, Summit, Local community and Ecosystem with his study of Environmental resource management.
His Debris research integrates issues from Space, Systems engineering, Litter and Tourism.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Are We Speaking the Same Language? Recommendations for a Definition and Categorization Framework for Plastic Debris. (332 citations)
- Bioavailability and effects of microplastics on marine zooplankton: A review. (169 citations)
- The rise in ocean plastics evidenced from a 60-year time series (94 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Richard C. Thompson mostly deals with Microplastics, Plastic pollution, Oceanography, Marine debris and Structural basin.
His Microplastics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trophic level, Mytilus and Environmental planning.
The various areas that he examines in his Plastic pollution study include Floodplain, Riparian zone, Environmental resource management, Ecosystem and Benthic zone.
In the subject of general Oceanography, his work in Pelagic zone and Nautical mile is often linked to Continuous Plankton Recorder, Human health and Ocean environment, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Marine debris research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology, Zooplankton, Plankton and Food web, Consumer.
The concepts of his Structural basin study are interwoven with issues in Deep sea, Sediment, Arctic, The arctic and Seawater.
