Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Photosynthesis

Vanda Brotas mainly focuses on Chlorophyll a, Oceanography, Estuary, Phytoplankton and Ecology. Her Chlorophyll a research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diatom, Diadinoxanthin and Chlorophyll. Her study in the field of Biomass, Bloom, Bay and Climate change is also linked to topics like Arctic dipole anomaly.

Her work carried out in the field of Biomass brings together such families of science as Benthic zone, Spatial heterogeneity and Seasonality. Her Estuary research includes themes of Denitrification and Nitrogen cycle. Her Algal bloom study, which is part of a larger body of work in Phytoplankton, is frequently linked to User requirements document, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her most cited work include:

  • Are phytoplankton blooms occurring earlier in the Arctic (193 citations)
  • Responses of microphytobenthos to light: primary production and carbohydrate allocation over an emersion period (145 citations)
  • Seasonal variation in denitrification and dissolved nitrogen fluxes in intertidal sediments of the Tagus estuary, Portugal (114 citations)

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

Phytoplankton, Oceanography, Chlorophyll a, Ecology and Remote sensing are her primary areas of study. Vanda Brotas has included themes like Biomass, Abundance, Climate change and Ecosystem in her Phytoplankton study. Dominance is closely connected to Trophic level in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biomass.

Her Oceanography research incorporates themes from Emiliania huxleyi and Community structure. Her Chlorophyll a research includes themes of Diadinoxanthin, Chlorophyll, Atmospheric sciences, Streamflow and Diatom. Vanda Brotas interconnects SeaWiFS, In situ, Meteorology and Ocean color in the investigation of issues within Remote sensing.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Phytoplankton (44.20%)
  • Oceanography (34.06%)
  • Chlorophyll a (32.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Remote sensing (26.81%)
  • SeaWiFS (7.97%)
  • Attenuation coefficient (4.35%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, SeaWiFS, Attenuation coefficient, Chlorophyll a and Phytoplankton. Her study ties her expertise on Remote sensing reflectance together with the subject of Remote sensing. Her SeaWiFS research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Training, Climate change, Marine ecosystem and Biogeochemistry.

Vanda Brotas integrates Chlorophyll a with Land cover in her research. Vanda Brotas conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Phytoplankton and Vulnerability through her research. Her Phenology research includes elements of Ocean color remote sensing and Oceanography, Upwelling.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • An ocean-colour time series for use in climate studies: The experience of the ocean-colour climate change initiative (OC-CCI) (45 citations)
  • Satellite Ocean Colour: Current Status and Future Perspective (39 citations)
  • A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version two (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Photosynthesis

Vanda Brotas spends much of her time researching Remote sensing, Phytoplankton, Chlorophyll a, Climate change and SeaWiFS. Phytoplankton and Land cover are two areas of study in which Vanda Brotas engages in interdisciplinary research. Her studies in Chlorophyll a integrate themes in fields like Aquatic ecosystem and Atmospheric sciences.

Her Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Atmospheric correction, Climatology and Radiometer. In her research, Band ratio and Reflectivity is intimately related to Pixel, which falls under the overarching field of Radiometer. Her SeaWiFS research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Marine ecosystem, Training and Biogeochemistry.
