About David W. Johnston

David W. Johnston, With an exceptional h-index of 49 and a recent h-index of 36 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Duke University, specializes in the field of marine science, conservation, ecology, technology, remote sensing.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Drone-based monitoring and geomorphology of southern giant petrel nests near Palmer Station, western Antarctic Peninsula

Evidence for kilometer‐scale biophysical features at the Gulf Stream front

Review of satellite remote sensing and unoccupied aircraft systems for counting wildlife on land

Growth and opportunities for drone surveillance in pinniped research

Minke whale feeding rate limitations suggest constraints on the minimum body size for engulfment filtration feeding

A surplus no more? Variation in krill availability impacts reproductive rates of Antarctic baleen whales

Comparison of 3D structural metrics on oyster reefs using unoccupied aircraft photogrammetry and terrestrial LiDAR across a tidal elevation gradient

Shaped by their environment: variation in blue whale morphology across three productive coastal ecosystems
