- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
Christian Hensen spends much of his time researching Sediment, Oceanography, Continental margin, Benthic zone and Methane.
His studies in Sediment integrate themes in fields like Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Mineralogy.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Glacial period, Interglacial, Geochemistry, Sedimentary depositional environment and Sulfate in addition to Anaerobic oxidation of methane.
His Continental margin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Continental shelf and Sedimentation.
His Benthic zone study incorporates themes from Authigenic and Anoxic waters.
His Methane study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrate, Clathrate hydrate and Solubility.
His most cited work include:
- Deep sulfate reduction completely mediated by anaerobic methane oxidation in sediments of the upwelling area off Namibia (252 citations)
- Control of sulfate pore-water profiles by sedimentary events and the significance of anaerobic oxidation of methane for the burial of sulfur in marine sediments (180 citations)
- Fluid expulsion related to mud extrusion off Costa Rica¿A window to the subducting slab (179 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Oceanography, Mineralogy, Sediment and Clathrate hydrate.
His work deals with themes such as Cold seep and Sediment core, which intersect with Geochemistry.
His work on Biogeochemical cycle expands to the thematically related Oceanography.
The Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Hydrate and Phase.
His Sediment study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Organic matter.
Christian Hensen has included themes like Geomorphology, Petrology, Methane and Petroleum engineering in his Clathrate hydrate study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (36.69%)
- Oceanography (25.00%)
- Mineralogy (16.23%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Geochemistry (36.69%)
- Guaymas Basin (4.22%)
- Sediment (16.88%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Christian Hensen mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Guaymas Basin, Sediment, Hydrothermal circulation and Oceanography.
His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Cold seep and Hydrothermal vent.
His Guaymas Basin research integrates issues from Structural basin, Terrigenous sediment, Petroleum seep, Magmatism and Authigenic.
His Sediment study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Cruise.
Christian Hensen is involved in the study of Oceanography that focuses on Benthic zone in particular.
His research integrates issues of Continental shelf, Water column, Bottom water, Oxygen minimum zone and Environmental chemistry in his study of Benthic zone.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A revised global estimate of dissolved iron fluxes from marine sediments (74 citations)
- Nitrate-dependent iron oxidation limits iron transport in anoxic ocean regions (49 citations)
- Organic carbon production, mineralisation and preservation on the Peruvian margin (42 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oxygen
- Sedimentary rock
- Ecology
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Seafloor spreading, Oxygen minimum zone, Water column and Oceanography.
Christian Hensen combines subjects such as Guaymas Basin, Hydrothermal circulation and Cold seep with his study of Geochemistry.
His Seafloor spreading research includes themes of Subduction, Lithosphere, Methane, Mantle and Seismology.
His studies deal with areas such as Environmental chemistry and Anoxic waters as well as Oxygen minimum zone.
His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bottom water, Sediment and Benthic zone.
Christian Hensen focuses mostly in the field of Oceanography, narrowing it down to matters related to Clathrate hydrate and, in some cases, Dissolved organic carbon.
