Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

Alex V. Krusche mainly investigates Hydrology, Drainage basin, Dissolved organic carbon, Groundwater and Carbon cycle. His study in the fields of Water quality under the domain of Hydrology overlaps with other disciplines such as Atmosphere. As a member of one scientific family, Alex V. Krusche mostly works in the field of Drainage basin, focusing on Tropics and, on occasion, Acid rain, Rainwater harvesting and Air pollution.

His Dissolved organic carbon research incorporates elements of Organic matter, Phytoplankton, River mouth and Isotopes of carbon. His Groundwater study also includes

  • Soil water that connect with fields like Infiltration and Wet season,
  • Surface runoff that connect with fields like Water table, Hydraulic conductivity and Pasture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pelagic zone, Terrigenous sediment and STREAMS.

His most cited work include:

  • Young organic matter as a source of carbon dioxide outgassing from Amazonian rivers (425 citations)
  • Degradation of terrestrially derived macromolecules in the Amazon River (217 citations)
  • Effects of land use on water chemistry and macroinvertebrates in two streams of the Piracicaba river basin, south-east Brazil. (208 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrology, Amazon rainforest, Dissolved organic carbon, Ecology and Drainage basin. His studies in Hydrology integrate themes in fields like Soil water, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem and Pasture. The Amazon rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter, Watershed, River mouth, Tributary and Biogeochemistry.

Alex V. Krusche has included themes like Total organic carbon and Terrigenous sediment in his Dissolved organic carbon study. His study in the field of Nutrient cycle also crosses realms of Acidobacteria and Planctomycetes. His study in Drainage basin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land use, Acid rain, Total inorganic carbon, Tropics and Water quality.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrology (52.17%)
  • Amazon rainforest (30.43%)
  • Dissolved organic carbon (19.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Amazon rainforest (30.43%)
  • Hydrology (52.17%)
  • Carbon cycle (15.65%)

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

Amazon rainforest, Hydrology, Carbon cycle, Ecology and Dissolved organic carbon are his primary areas of study. His Amazon rainforest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organic matter, River mouth, Carbon flux, Forestry and Biome. His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Ecosystem, Amazonian and Methane.

His Carbon cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oceanography, Carbon dioxide and Wetland. His work carried out in the field of Dissolved organic carbon brings together such families of science as Total organic carbon, Hydrology and Terrigenous sediment. His Total organic carbon research includes themes of Drainage basin and Current.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular-level changes of dissolved organic matter along the Amazon River-to-ocean continuum (89 citations)
  • Fate of the Amazon River dissolved organic matter in the tropical Atlantic Ocean (75 citations)
  • Methane emissions from Amazonian Rivers and their contribution to the global methane budget. (68 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

Alex V. Krusche mainly focuses on Amazon rainforest, Dissolved organic carbon, Tributary, Total organic carbon and Hydrology. His work in Amazon rainforest is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses River ecosystem. His studies deal with areas such as Phytoplankton, Carbon cycle, River mouth and Terrigenous sediment as well as Dissolved organic carbon.

Alex V. Krusche has researched Tributary in several fields, including Drainage basin, Current, Salinity and STREAMS. His work carried out in the field of Total organic carbon brings together such families of science as Dissolved load, Carbon flux, Particulate organic matter, Chlorophyll a and Particulate organic carbon. In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Hydrology and Flux.
