Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Oceanography
Ecosystem

Ecology, Algal bloom, Phytoplankton, Bloom and Dinoflagellate are his primary areas of study. His study in Habitat and Red tide falls under the purview of Ecology. Theodore J. Smayda integrates many fields, such as Algal bloom and Environmental science, in his works.

The concepts of his Phytoplankton study are interwoven with issues in Diatom and Biomass. His studies in Bloom integrate themes in fields like Benthic zone and Grazing, Grazing pressure. Dinoflagellate is a subfield of Oceanography that Theodore J. Smayda studies.

His most cited work include:

Harmful algal blooms: Their ecophysiology and general relevance to phytoplankton blooms in the sea (909 citations)
Community Assembly in Marine Phytoplankton: Application of Recent Models to Harmful Dinoflagellate Blooms (389 citations)
What is a bloom? A commentary (302 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Ecology, Phytoplankton, Bloom and Bay. In the subject of general Oceanography, his work in Narragansett, Upwelling and Diel vertical migration is often linked to Environmental science, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His study in Algal bloom, Habitat, Ecosystem, Algae and Pelagic zone is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology.

His Phytoplankton research includes themes of Zooplankton, Biomass, Water column, Environmental chemistry and Nitrate. His study in Bloom is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Diatom, Niche, Dinoflagellate and Grazing pressure. His Bay research integrates issues from Abundance and Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

Oceanography (57.63%)
Ecology (50.85%)
Phytoplankton (47.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

Oceanography (57.63%)
Bay (35.59%)
Phytoplankton (47.46%)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Bay, Phytoplankton, Narragansett and Environmental science. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Primary producers and Thalassiosira pseudonana. Theodore J. Smayda works mostly in the field of Bay, limiting it down to topics relating to Algal bloom and, in certain cases, Plankton, Keystone species, Climate model, Climate change and Extreme weather, as a part of the same area of interest.

Phytoplankton is a subfield of Ecology that Theodore J. Smayda tackles. Theodore J. Smayda interconnects Bloom and Abundance, Fishery in the investigation of issues within Narragansett. His Bloom research incorporates elements of Zoology, Niche, Skeletonema costatum and Aureococcus anophagefferens.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Harmful algal blooms and climate change: Learning from the past and present to forecast the future. (295 citations)
The 1985 ‘Brown-Tide’ and the Open Phytoplankton Niche in Narragansett Bay During Summer (65 citations)
Toxic Alexandrium peruvianum (Balech and de Mendiola) Balech and Tangen in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island (USA) (32 citations)
