Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Phytoplankton

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Continental shelf, Sea ice and Productivity. His Oceanography study frequently links to other fields, such as Total organic carbon. His studies in Phytoplankton integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Biogenic silica and Chlorophyll.

His work deals with themes such as Stratification and Biogeochemical cycle, which intersect with Continental shelf. His Antarctic sea ice study in the realm of Sea ice interacts with subjects such as Marine habitats. His Productivity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Growing season, Particulates and Thermohaline circulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Temperature effects on export production in the open ocean (640 citations)
  • Phytoplankton bloom produced by a receding ice edge in the ross sea: spatial coherence with the density field. (525 citations)
  • Importance of Ice Edge Phytoplankton Production in the Southern Ocean (373 citations)

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

Walker O. Smith mainly investigates Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Sea ice, Bloom and Ecology. His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photic zone and Biogeochemical cycle. His work in Photic zone covers topics such as New production which are related to areas like Organic matter.

Walker O. Smith has researched Phytoplankton in several fields, including Productivity, Biomass, Chlorophyll and Diatom. The concepts of his Productivity study are interwoven with issues in Photosynthesis and Growing season. His work in Bloom addresses subjects such as Carbon cycle, which are connected to disciplines such as Dissolved organic carbon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (88.44%)
  • Phytoplankton (62.22%)
  • Sea ice (20.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Oceanography (88.44%)
  • Phytoplankton (62.22%)
  • Sea ice (20.89%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Sea ice, Productivity and Diatom. His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Abundance, Phaeocystis antarctica and Growing season. His studies examine the connections between Phytoplankton and genetics, as well as such issues in Mixed layer, with regards to Phytoplankton biomass.

His work carried out in the field of Sea ice brings together such families of science as Circumpolar deep water, Thermohaline circulation, Climate change, Arctic and Ecosystem. Walker O. Smith combines subjects such as Photosynthesis, Photosynthetic efficiency, Nutrient, Biomass and Nitrate with his study of Productivity. Walker O. Smith focuses mostly in the field of Diatom, narrowing it down to matters related to Chlorophyll fluorescence and, in some cases, Carbon cycle.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Advection in polar and sub-polar environments: Impacts on high latitude marine ecosystems (50 citations)
  • A Synergistic Approach for Evaluating Climate Model Output for Ecological Applications (42 citations)
  • Temporal progression of photosynthetic-strategy in phytoplankton in the Ross Sea, Antarctica (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Phytoplankton

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Sea ice, Plankton and Abundance. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Food web and El Niño Southern Oscillation. His Phytoplankton research includes elements of Productivity, Bloom, Chlorophyll and Biogeochemical cycle.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass and Nitrate in addition to Productivity. Walker O. Smith focuses mostly in the field of Sea ice, narrowing it down to topics relating to Climate change and, in certain cases, Earth system science. His Plankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Coral reef, Biodiversity and Environmental protection.
