Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Krill, Antarctic krill, Oceanography, Ecology and Fishery. The various areas that Stephen Nicol examines in his Krill study include Ocean acidification and Crustacean. His work deals with themes such as Wind stress and Ecosystem model, which intersect with Antarctic krill.

His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Fishing industry and Aquaculture. His Fishery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Resource and Tonnage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sea ice, Climate change and Habitat in addition to Marine ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Polar ocean ecosystems in a changing world (390 citations)
  • Polar ocean ecosystems in a changing world (390 citations)
  • Climate change and Southern Ocean ecosystems I: how changes in physical habitats directly affect marine biota (266 citations)

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

Stephen Nicol mostly deals with Krill, Antarctic krill, Oceanography, Euphausia and Ecology. His Krill research incorporates elements of Marine ecosystem, Climate change and Crustacean. In his study, Biogeochemical cycle is strongly linked to Baleen, which falls under the umbrella field of Antarctic krill.

Oceanography and Climatology are commonly linked in his work. His Euphausia research focuses on Food science and how it connects with Botany. His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass and Aquaculture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Krill (86.30%)
  • Antarctic krill (81.51%)
  • Oceanography (66.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Antarctic krill (81.51%)
  • Krill (86.30%)
  • Euphausia (55.48%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Antarctic krill, Krill, Euphausia, Oceanography and Fishery. Stephen Nicol has included themes like Environmental change, Swarm behaviour, Predation, Foraging and Pelagic zone in his Antarctic krill study. His study in Krill is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Climate change, Ocean acidification, Marine ecosystem and Crustacean.

His work on Euphausiacea as part of general Euphausia study is frequently connected to Lipid Biochemistry, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Ecosystem and Biogeochemical cycle. The Whaling research Stephen Nicol does as part of his general Fishery study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Public attention, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The importance of Antarctic krill in biogeochemical cycles. (18 citations)
  • No evidence for a decline in the density of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba Dana, 1850, in the Southwest Atlantic sector between 1976 and 2016 (18 citations)
  • No evidence for a decline in the density of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba Dana, 1850, in the Southwest Atlantic sector between 1976 and 2016 (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

Stephen Nicol focuses on Euphausia, Krill, Antarctic krill, Oceanography and Euphausiacea. His Euphausia research incorporates themes from Biogeochemical cycle, Ecosystem, Keystone species and Seasonality. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon sink and Crustacean.

His studies deal with areas such as Population decline and Marine ecosystem as well as Keystone species. His research integrates issues of Dry weight and Ocean acidification in his study of Antarctic krill. Stephen Nicol interconnects Ocean chemistry and Regime shift in the investigation of issues within Ocean acidification.
