Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Coral reef, Reef, Climate change, Coral bleaching and Oceanography. His Coral reef study combines topics in areas such as Global warming, Remote sensing and Coral. The various areas that he examines in his Coral study include Range, Marine biology, Ecosystem, Disturbance and Spatial ecology.

His Coral bleaching research integrates issues from Coral reef organizations and Sea surface temperature. His research in Resilience of coral reefs intersects with topics in Montipora capitata and Effects of global warming on oceans. His study in the field of Ocean acidification, Nature reserve and Marine reserve also crosses realms of Holobiont and Reserve design.

His most cited work include:

  • Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals (1241 citations)
  • Caribbean corals in crisis: record thermal stress, bleaching, and mortality in 2005. (544 citations)
  • Global warming transforms coral reef assemblages (520 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Coral reef, Coral bleaching, Oceanography, Reef and Coral. William J. Skirving interconnects Remote sensing, Remote sensing, Climate change and Environmental resource management in the investigation of issues within Coral reef. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Global warming, Sea surface temperature and Atmospheric sciences.

In his study, Climate model, Current and Rainforest is strongly linked to Climatology, which falls under the umbrella field of Oceanography. The subject of his Reef research is within the realm of Ecology. His research in the fields of Coral Triangle overlaps with other disciplines such as Cloud cover.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Coral reef (54.35%)
  • Coral bleaching (50.00%)
  • Oceanography (48.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Coral reef (54.35%)
  • Reef (43.48%)
  • Coral bleaching (50.00%)

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

Coral reef, Reef, Coral bleaching, Coral and Climate change are his primary areas of study. William J. Skirving combines subjects such as Cartography and Environmental resource management with his study of Coral reef. His Reef research incorporates elements of Geographic coordinate system and Geospatial analysis.

His study with Coral bleaching involves better knowledge in Oceanography. He works mostly in the field of Coral, limiting it down to topics relating to Global warming and, in certain cases, Marine biology, Remote sensing and Remote sensing. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Continental shelf and Ecosystem.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global warming transforms coral reef assemblages (520 citations)
  • Ecological memory modifies the cumulative impact of recurrent climate extremes (103 citations)
  • STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2017 (67 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Oceanography

William J. Skirving spends much of his time researching Reef, Ecosystem, Climate change, Coral reef and Sea surface temperature. Coral bleaching is the focus of his Reef research. His Coral bleaching research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Marine protected area and Foundation species.

He has researched Coral reef in several fields, including Environmental resource management and Coral. The Coral study combines topics in areas such as Global warming and Marine biology. William J. Skirving has included themes like Boreal and Atmospheric sciences in his Sea surface temperature study.
