Overview

Bruno Glaser is affiliated with Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany. Their research spans multiple disciplines within Earth and Environmental Sciences, with a total of 57 publications in Earth and Planetary Sciences, 50 in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, and 48 in Environmental Science. These broad fields are further specialized through significant contributions in subfields such as Atmospheric Science, Soil Science, and Ecology.

Within their research, Bruno Glaser focuses on key topics including:

  • Geology and Paleoclimatology Research
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Archaeology and ancient environmental studies
  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology
  • Peatlands and Wetlands Ecology
  • Tree-ring climate responses

The scientist has published extensively in journals such as Scientific Reports, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Agronomy, Biochar, and Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems. These venues have each hosted several of Glaser's works, reflecting ongoing engagement with topics related to sustainability, soil science, and environmental systems.

Bruno Glaser's recent papers include:

  • Soils and sustainable development goals of the United Nations: An International Union of Soil Sciences perspective, 2021, Geoderma Regional
  • Meta-analysis on how manure application changes soil organic carbon storage, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Effect of biochar and compost on soil properties and organic matter in aggregate size fractions under field conditions, 2020, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment
  • Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration after Biochar Application: A Global Meta-Analysis, 2021, Agronomy
  • Managing Soils for Recovering from the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020, Soil Systems

Collaborative work is a clear aspect of Glaser's research career, with frequent co-authors including Michael Zech, Roland Zech, Tobias Bromm, Lucas Bittner, and Marcel Bliedtner. These collaborators have partnered with Glaser on numerous projects, illustrating an established network within soil and environmental sciences.
