Overview

Ali E. Aksu is a researcher affiliated with Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada, specializing in Earth and Planetary Sciences with a focus on geophysics, ocean engineering, oceanography, paleontology, and archaeology. Their body of work includes 24 publications predominantly centered around marine and environmental studies, earthquake and tectonic studies, geological and geochemical analysis, geology and paleoclimatology research, marine invertebrate physiology and ecology, archaeology and historical studies, as well as high-pressure geophysics and materials.

Their recent scholarly output features several notable articles, including:

  • Persistent Holocene outflow from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean Sea still contradicts the Noah's Flood Hypothesis: A review of 1997-2021 evidence and a regional paleoceanographic synthesis for the latest Pleistocene-Holocene (2022, Earth-Science Reviews)
  • Miocene-Quaternary tectonic, kinematic and sedimentary evolution of the eastern Mediterranean Sea: A regional synthesis (2021, Earth-Science Reviews)
  • The uppermost Pleistocene-Holocene mud drape across the Marmara Sea: Quantification of detrital supply from southern Marmara rivers (2021, Sedimentary Geology)
  • Giant slope scars and mass transport deposits across the Rhodes Basin, eastern Mediterranean: Depositional and tectonic processes (2021, Sedimentary Geology)
  • Late Pleistocene-Holocene palynology and paleoceanography of İmralı Basin, Marmara Sea: Pollen-spore, dinoflagellate cyst and other NPP zonations (2024, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology)

Aksu's frequent collaborators include Richard N. Hiscott, Cenk Yaltırak, Shiri P. Srivastava, Michael A. Arthur, and Bradford M Clement. Their contributions extend across multiple respected venues, with the highest number of publications appearing in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), followed by multiple works in Earth-Science Reviews, Sedimentary Geology, Tectonophysics, and Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology.

Their research predominantly addresses marine environments and geological aspects associated with the eastern Mediterranean region, integrating tectonic, sedimentological, and paleoceanographic perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach supports investigations into historical earth processes, sediment transport, and biotic indicators through palynological methods.

The scientific output reflects emphasis on the analysis of marine sedimentary processes, tectonics of the Mediterranean basin, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction using various proxies. These contributions form part of broader fields linking geological evolution with climate and oceanographic changes across geological timescales.
