Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

Claude Largeau mostly deals with Algaenan, Organic matter, Kerogen, Botryococcus braunii and Mineralogy. He combines subjects such as Chlorophyceae, Biochemistry and Algae with his study of Algaenan. His research integrates issues of Lignin, Botany, Macromolecule, Environmental chemistry and Pyrolysis in his study of Organic matter.

His Kerogen study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geochemistry and Diagenesis. Claude Largeau has researched Botryococcus braunii in several fields, including Torbanite, Botryococcus and Biopolymer. His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Total organic carbon, Oil shale and Source rock.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire‐derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere (657 citations)
  • Botryococcus braunii : a rich source for hydrocarbons and related ether lipids (607 citations)
  • A reappraisal of kerogen formation (493 citations)

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

Claude Largeau spends much of his time researching Botryococcus braunii, Organic chemistry, Kerogen, Organic matter and Mineralogy. His Botryococcus braunii study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Botryococcus, Chlorophyceae and Algaenan. His studies link Macromolecule with Organic chemistry.

His research in Kerogen intersects with topics in Pyrolysis, Oil shale and Sulfur. His Organic matter study incorporates themes from Water column, Diagenesis and Isotopes of carbon. His research investigates the connection with Mineralogy and areas like Environmental chemistry which intersect with concerns in Soil water, Carbon, Chemical composition and Acid hydrolysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botryococcus braunii (31.64%)
  • Organic chemistry (28.25%)
  • Kerogen (28.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2010)?

  • Mineralogy (26.55%)
  • Environmental chemistry (18.08%)
  • Organic chemistry (28.25%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Organic chemistry, Pyrolysis and Organic matter. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Soot, Oil shale, Activation energy, Sedimentary rock and Kerogen. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Acid hydrolysis, Soil organic matter, Soil water, Chemical composition and Carbon.

Many of his research projects under Organic chemistry are closely connected to Triterpene with Triterpene, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Algae covers Claude Largeau research in Botryococcus braunii. His study in Organic matter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geochemistry, Holocene and Source rock.

Between 2001 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire‐derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere (657 citations)
  • Botryococcus braunii : a rich source for hydrocarbons and related ether lipids (607 citations)
  • Variation in lipid relative abundance and composition among different particle size fractions of a forest soil (79 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

Claude Largeau focuses on Organic matter, Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Organic chemistry and Carbon. His work carried out in the field of Organic matter brings together such families of science as Soil organic matter, Fraction, Botany and Source rock. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Podzol and Geologic Sediments.

The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Sediment and Isotopes of carbon. His Carbon study incorporates themes from Charcoal, Chemical composition, Persistent organic pollutant, Mineralogy and Coal. His research on Botryococcus braunii concerns the broader Algae.
