Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Wetland

Robert R. Twilley mostly deals with Mangrove, Hydrology, Ecology, Wetland and Ecosystem. His Mangrove research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Estuary, Oceanography, Structural basin and Basal area. His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Sediment, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, Denitrification, Nutrient and Remote sensing.

His studies in Sediment integrate themes in fields like River delta and Subsidence. His work carried out in the field of Wetland brings together such families of science as Global warming, Organic matter, Biocomplexity and Salt marsh. His Ecosystem research includes elements of Tropics and Ecological forecasting.

His most cited work include:

  • Mangrove Production and Carbon sinks: A revision of global budget estimates (721 citations)
  • Restoration of the Mississippi Delta: Lessons from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (564 citations)
  • Carbon sinks in mangroves and their implications to carbon budget of tropical coastal ecosystems (361 citations)

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

Robert R. Twilley spends much of his time researching Mangrove, Hydrology, Wetland, Ecology and Estuary. His study in Mangrove is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biomass, Oceanography, Agronomy and Primary production. Robert R. Twilley has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Structural basin, Salinity, Sediment, River delta and Nutrient.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Storm surge, Environmental resource management, Flood myth, Ecosystem and Erosion. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Global warming and Biogeochemistry. His research in Estuary intersects with topics in Forest floor, Water quality and Bay.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mangrove (41.21%)
  • Hydrology (37.58%)
  • Wetland (35.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Wetland (35.15%)
  • Hydrology (37.58%)
  • Mangrove (41.21%)

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

Robert R. Twilley mainly investigates Wetland, Hydrology, Mangrove, Sediment and Floodplain. His work deals with themes such as Storm surge, Biomass, Estuary, Oceanography and Ecosystem, which intersect with Wetland. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hyperspectral imaging and Eutrophication in addition to Hydrology.

The subject of his Mangrove research is within the realm of Ecology. In general Ecology study, his work on Climate change and Seasonality often relates to the realm of Morphology, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Sediment research is multidisciplinary, relying on both River delta and Subsidence.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene (113 citations)
  • Global controls on carbon storage in mangrove soils (85 citations)
  • Coastal morphology explains global blue carbon distributions (51 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Wetland

Robert R. Twilley focuses on Wetland, Hydrology, Sediment, Mangrove and Ecosystem. His studies examine the connections between Wetland and genetics, as well as such issues in Floodplain, with regards to Chronosequence, Beach morphodynamics, Altitude, Levee and Subsidence. His research investigates the connection with Hydrology and areas like River delta which intersect with concerns in Eutrophication and Erosion.

Mangrove is often connected to Blue carbon in his work. His Ecosystem research is within the category of Ecology. His Biomass, Primary production and Ecosystem services study in the realm of Ecology connects with subjects such as Wood production.
