Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Upwelling, Ecology, Hypoxia and Ecosystem. His Continental shelf, Hydrography and Turbidity study in the realm of Oceanography connects with subjects such as Thermal infrared. His Continental shelf research includes elements of Altimeter, Climatology and Agulhas current.

Scarla J. Weeks has included themes like Climate change and Marine ecosystem in his Upwelling study. His study explores the link between Ecology and topics such as Fishery that cross with problems in Sustainability. His Ecosystem study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as SeaWiFS and Walker circulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Doom and boom on a resilient reef: climate change, algal overgrowth and coral recovery. (234 citations)
  • Offshore diplomacy, or how seabirds mitigate intra-specific competition: a case study based on GPS tracking of Cape gannets from neighbouring colonies (228 citations)
  • Greenhouse gas, upwelling-favorable winds, and the future of coastal ocean upwelling ecosystems. (190 citations)

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

Scarla J. Weeks focuses on Oceanography, Fishery, Ecology, Climatology and Upwelling. He works mostly in the field of Fishery, limiting it down to concerns involving Foraging and, occasionally, Predation. His work deals with themes such as Altimeter, Agulhas current and Coral bleaching, which intersect with Climatology.

His Upwelling study which covers Climate change that intersects with Marine ecosystem, Stock assessment and Fisheries management. His Reef research includes themes of Remote sensing and Habitat. He interconnects Bathymetry and Coral in the investigation of issues within Coral reef.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (57.83%)
  • Fishery (25.30%)
  • Ecology (24.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2018)?

  • Reef (20.48%)
  • Fishery (25.30%)
  • Oceanography (57.83%)

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

Scarla J. Weeks mostly deals with Reef, Fishery, Oceanography, Ecology and Foraging. His studies deal with areas such as Coral reef and Habitat as well as Reef. His work on Sea surface temperature and Submarine pipeline as part of general Oceanography research is often related to Torres strait, thus linking different fields of science.

Scarla J. Weeks focuses mostly in the field of Sea surface temperature, narrowing it down to matters related to Upwelling and, in some cases, Feeding frenzy, Front and Flood myth. The concepts of his Foraging study are interwoven with issues in Predation and Zooplankton. The various areas that Scarla J. Weeks examines in his Manta alfredi study include Abundance and Great barrier reef.

Between 2014 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (138 citations)
  • Changes in water clarity in response to river discharges on the Great Barrier Reef continental shelf: 2002–2013 (63 citations)
  • Prey Density Threshold and Tidal Influence on Reef Manta Ray Foraging at an Aggregation Site on the Great Barrier Reef. (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

His scientific interests lie mostly in Coral reef, Fishery, Reef, Population structure and Threatened species. Coral reef is the subject of his research, which falls under Oceanography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Foraging and Predation.

He combines subjects such as Abundance, Remote sensing, Habitat and Bathymetry with his study of Reef. His research integrates issues of Whale, Ecology, Whale shark, Sex ratio and Photogrammetry in his study of Population structure.
