OverviewAI-generated summary
Thomas C. Adam's research focuses on coral reef ecosystems, investigating factors that influence coral health and recovery. His work examines the impact of environmental stressors, such as marine heatwaves and nutrient enrichment, on coral mortality and community dynamics. Adam has published research on size-dependent coral mortality during heatwaves and the role of nutrient enrichment in enhancing coral thermal performance. He also studies the interactions between corals and macroalgae, exploring how priority effects and top-down control influence alternate community pathways and the precariousness of coral recovery.
Beyond coral reef ecology, Adam's publications include work in human health, with studies on fetal microbiota, corticosteroids as a risk factor for COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis, and the broader impacts of the 2014-2017 global coral bleaching event. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 31, 113 total publications, and 3,481 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He maintains an active lab website.
