Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Erosion
  • Climate change

Barbara A. Maher spends much of her time researching Loess, Environmental magnetism, Magnetic susceptibility, Mineralogy and Magnetite. Her Loess research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Monsoon, Plateau, Glacial period and Holocene. Her study explores the link between Environmental magnetism and topics such as Diagenesis that cross with problems in Cyclostratigraphy, Sediment, Greigite and Quaternary.

She regularly ties together related areas like Pedogenesis in her Magnetic susceptibility studies. Her work in Mineralogy addresses issues such as Grain size, which are connected to fields such as Particle-size distribution, Coercivity and Analytical chemistry. Her work deals with themes such as Soil water and Soil horizon, which intersect with Magnetite.

Her most cited work include:

  • Magnetic properties of some synthetic sub-micron magnetites (629 citations)
  • Magnetic properties of modern soils and Quaternary loessic paleosols: paleoclimatic implications. (583 citations)
  • Frequency-dependent susceptibility measurements of environmental materials (492 citations)

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

Barbara A. Maher mainly investigates Geochemistry, Sediment core, Sediment, Mineralogy and Loess. Her Sediment research incorporates elements of Hydrology, Drainage basin, Erosion and Holocene. Her Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magnetite, Magnetic susceptibility, Environmental magnetism and Grain size.

Her work carried out in the field of Magnetic susceptibility brings together such families of science as Pedogenesis and Soil horizon. Barbara A. Maher combines subjects such as Glacial period, Interglacial, Climatology and Plateau with her study of Loess. Her Glacial period research includes themes of Monsoon and Oceanography.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (25.00%)
  • Sediment core (20.12%)
  • Sediment (17.07%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Magnetite (12.20%)
  • Environmental chemistry (5.49%)
  • Nanoparticle (1.83%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Magnetite, Environmental chemistry, Nanoparticle, Biophysics and Endocrinology. Her Magnetite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Magnetic susceptibility and Magnetic nanoparticles. Within one scientific family, Barbara A. Maher focuses on topics pertaining to Paleosol under Magnetic susceptibility, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Soil water.

Her research integrates issues of Hematite and Mineralogy in her study of Soil water. Her study in Environmental magnetism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both East Asian Monsoon, Precipitation, Climatology, Interglacial and Loess. Her Loess study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period and Monsoon.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Magnetite pollution nanoparticles in the human brain. (381 citations)
  • Palaeoclimatic records of the loess/palaeosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau (120 citations)
  • Particulate matter deposited on leaf of five evergreen species in Beijing, China: Source identification and size distribution (101 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Erosion
  • Climate change

Her primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Nanoparticle, Environmental magnetism, Biological materials and Environmental monitoring. The study incorporates disciplines such as Juniperus formosana and Botany in addition to Environmental chemistry. The study of Nanoparticle is intertwined with the study of Crystallization in a number of ways.

Her Environmental magnetism research includes elements of East Asian Monsoon, Monsoon, Climatology, Interglacial and Loess. Her Biological materials research overlaps with other disciplines such as Atmospheric pollution and Air quality index.
