Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Bacteria

Her main research concerns Anaerobic oxidation of methane, Methane, Ecology, Environmental chemistry and Sulfate. Her Anaerobic oxidation of methane research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrate Ridge, Clathrate hydrate, Mud volcano, Archaea and Anoxic waters. Her research integrates issues of Microorganism, Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Oceanography and Mineralogy in her study of Methane.

Antje Boetius works mostly in the field of Oceanography, limiting it down to topics relating to Sediment and, in certain cases, Geochemistry, as a part of the same area of interest. In her study, Cold seep is strongly linked to Beggiatoa, which falls under the umbrella field of Environmental chemistry. Her study in Sulfate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Salinity and Methanogenesis.

Her most cited work include:

  • A marine microbial consortium apparently mediating anaerobic oxidation of methane (2203 citations)
  • Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane: Progress with an Unknown Process (1063 citations)
  • Microbial reefs in the Black Sea fueled by anaerobic oxidation of methane (615 citations)

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

Antje Boetius mainly focuses on Oceanography, Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Geochemistry and Cruise. Her Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Organic matter, Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Beggiatoa. As a part of the same scientific family, Antje Boetius mostly works in the field of Anaerobic oxidation of methane, focusing on Archaea and, on occasion, Methanogenesis.

Her Ecology research integrates issues from Gammaproteobacteria and Microbial population biology. Her Geochemistry research includes themes of Pore water pressure and Sediment core. The study incorporates disciplines such as Clathrate hydrate and Anoxic waters in addition to Methane.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (51.47%)
  • Environmental chemistry (26.07%)
  • Ecology (28.22%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Oceanography (51.47%)
  • Cruise (14.45%)
  • Seabed (8.47%)

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

Oceanography, Cruise, Seabed, Arctic and Deep sea are her primary areas of study. Antje Boetius has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Phytoplankton and Biogeochemical cycle. Antje Boetius interconnects Ecology and Microbial population biology in the investigation of issues within Deep sea.

The various areas that she examines in her Ecology study include Archaea and Gammaproteobacteria. Her work in Archaea addresses issues such as Thermophile, which are connected to fields such as Stable-isotope probing. In her study, Pelagic zone and Flavobacteriia is inextricably linked to Ecosystem, which falls within the broad field of Benthic zone.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Scientists' Warning to Humanity: Microorganisms and Climate Change (372 citations)
  • Hypoxia causes preservation of labile organic matter and changes seafloor microbial community composition (Black Sea). (64 citations)
  • Gene expression and ultrastructure of meso- and thermophilic methanotrophic consortia. (48 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Bacteria

Her primary areas of study are Oceanography, Deep sea, Benthic zone, Ecology and Arctic. Her Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sediment and Phytoplankton, Algal bloom. Her studies in Deep sea integrate themes in fields like Seabed, Biogeochemical cycle, Environmental resource management and Microbial population biology.

The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Archaea and Gammaproteobacteria. Her Archaea research incorporates themes from Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Methanogenesis. The concepts of her Anaerobic oxidation of methane study are interwoven with issues in Thermophile, Microbial metabolism, Desulfobacterales and Mud volcano.
