Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Upwelling, Seismology, Current and Climatology. His Oceanography study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Buoyancy. The various areas that Richard E. Thomson examines in his Upwelling study include Bloom, Algal bloom, Canyon and Nutrient.

His work in Seismology tackles topics such as Mid-ocean ridge which are related to areas like Hydrothermal circulation. His work carried out in the field of Current brings together such families of science as Shelf break, Thermocline, Plume, Current meter and Seasonal cycle. His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Pacific ocean and Period.

His most cited work include:

  • Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography (1198 citations)
  • Bottom-up ecosystem trophic dynamics determine fish production in the Northeast Pacific. (506 citations)
  • Oceanography of the British Columbia Coast (437 citations)

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

Richard E. Thomson mainly investigates Oceanography, Seismology, Climatology, Current and Tide gauge. His studies in Upwelling, Continental shelf, Fjord, Inlet and Current meter are all subfields of Oceanography research. His Landslide and Tsunami earthquake study, which is part of a larger body of work in Seismology, is frequently linked to Numerical modeling and Amplitude, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Estuary and Mesoscale meteorology in addition to Current. His research investigates the connection between Tide gauge and topics such as Pacific ocean that intersect with issues in Pelagic zone. His Seafloor spreading research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Panache, Lava, Mid-ocean ridge, Bottom water and Petrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (58.77%)
  • Seismology (14.22%)
  • Climatology (13.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Oceanography (58.77%)
  • Tide gauge (12.80%)
  • Seismology (14.22%)

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

Richard E. Thomson spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Tide gauge, Seismology, Inlet and Upwelling. Richard E. Thomson regularly ties together related areas like Homing in his Oceanography studies. His Tide gauge study combines topics in areas such as Epicenter, Disturbance, Tsunami wave and Atmospheric pressure.

His Inlet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sound, Chaetoceros, Diatom, Cabled observatory and Benthic zone. His study in Upwelling is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wind stress, Climatology, Current and Nutrient. His Zooplankton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrothermal circulation, Hydrothermal vent and Ridge.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An unprecedented coastwide toxic algal bloom linked to anomalous ocean conditions (193 citations)
  • Coastal Trapped Waves, Alongshore Pressure Gradients, and the California Undercurrent* (42 citations)
  • The open ocean energy decay of three recent trans‐Pacific tsunamis (38 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Upwelling, Seismology, Submarine pipeline and Climatology. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Spring and Backscatter. His Upwelling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diatom, Algal bloom and Nutrient.

The Tsunami wave research Richard E. Thomson does as part of his general Seismology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Spectral analysis, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. He has included themes like Ocean current, Methane and Submarine canyon in his Submarine pipeline study. His Climatology research integrates issues from Continental shelf, Current and Sea level.
