The themes of spill effects, remediation methods, and petroleum microbiology carry over into the author lists. The most heavily cited authors are those working in petroleum microbiology and bioremediation, such as Derek Lovley's group at the University of Massachusetts, Shigeaki Harayama of Japan's University of Chuo, Rosa Margesin and Franz Schinner of the University of Innsbruck in Austria, Charles Greer of Canada's National Research Council, and Josef Zeyer and Martin Schroth at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
Chemists and ecologists who study the spills themselves as well as their environmental effects are also quite prominent on the authors lists, most notably, Kenneth Lee from Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans, NOAA's Stan Rice, Christopher Reddy from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Joan Albaiges from the CSIC in Spain, and Jeffrey Short, formerly of NOAA and current Pacific Science Director for the non-profit organization Oceana.

Overall General Information
Regarding Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.

A bird stained with fuel oil sits on the shore near Russia's southern port
of Kavkaz, November 12, 2007. Russian authorities launched a major rescue
operation at the northern mouth of the Black Sea on Monday to save missing
seamen and contain environmental damage after a storm sank at least four
ships and split open a small oil tanker.
