Dr. Paul Montagna was named among the top 2 percent of scientists in the world for scientific impact as measured by publication citations, according to a study conducted by Stanford University researchers. The database includes more than 156,000 scientists worldwide whose work has been most cited by peers throughout their careers. Citation in the scientific world can be an indicator of the relevance of the researcher’s published work, and many published works are only cited once or twice, if ever, making Montagna a scientific influencer among his peers. Dr. Montagna is CCME Faculty member from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, where he is the Harte Research Institute Chair for HydroEcology, Environmental Science Professor, TAMU System Regents Professor, and Co-Editor in Chief for the journal Estuaries and Coasts.
