What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Climate change
- Paleontology
Her main research concerns Oceanography, North Atlantic Deep Water, Glacial period, Thermohaline circulation and Interglacial.
As part of the same scientific family, Delia W Oppo usually focuses on Oceanography, concentrating on Pleistocene and intersecting with Climatology.
Her North Atlantic Deep Water research incorporates elements of Paleontology and Water mass.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate state, Paleoclimatology and Ice sheet in addition to Glacial period.
As a part of the same scientific family, Delia W Oppo mostly works in the field of Thermohaline circulation, focusing on Ocean gyre and, on occasion, Younger Dryas and Deep sea.
Her Interglacial research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Holocene and Ice rafting.
Her most cited work include:
- Deepwater source variations during the last climatic cycle and their impact on the global deepwater circulation (925 citations)
- A 0.5-Million-Year Record of Millennial-Scale Climate Variability in the North Atlantic (643 citations)
- Glacial water mass geometry and the distribution of δ13C of ΣCO2 in the western Atlantic Ocean (474 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Sediment core, Climatology, Geochemistry and Foraminifera.
Her Oceanography study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Glacial period.
Her Sediment core research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry, Isotopic composition and Mineralogy.
Her work in Climatology addresses subjects such as Deglaciation, which are connected to disciplines such as Younger Dryas.
The Foraminifera study combines topics in areas such as Paleontology, Isotopes of oxygen and Plankton.
Her research integrates issues of Deep sea, Water mass and Gulf Stream in her study of North Atlantic Deep Water.
She most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (61.64%)
- Sediment core (22.30%)
- Climatology (17.05%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?
- Sediment core (22.30%)
- Oceanography (61.64%)
- Geochemistry (16.72%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary scientific interests are in Sediment core, Oceanography, Geochemistry, Glacial period and Isotopes of oxygen.
Her study in Sediment core is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mineralogy and Physical geography.
Oceanography and Environmental science are two areas of study in which Delia W Oppo engages in interdisciplinary research.
The Glacial period study which covers Ice sheet that intersects with Interglacial.
Her Deglaciation study incorporates themes from Water mass and North Atlantic Deep Water, Antarctic Intermediate Water.
Delia W Oppo studied North Atlantic Deep Water and Antarctic Bottom Water that intersect with Ocean current.
Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- Anomalously weak Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning during the past 150 years (142 citations)
- Consistently dated Atlantic sediment cores over the last 40 thousand years (118 citations)
- Calibration of the carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of benthic foraminifera (31 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Climate change
- Paleontology
Delia W Oppo mostly deals with Oceanography, Glacial period, Deglaciation, Ocean current and Water mass.
Her research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Climatology and Carbon cycle.
Her studies deal with areas such as Climate change and Paleoclimatology as well as Glacial period.
Her research in Ocean current tackles topics such as Sea ice which are related to areas like The arctic, Little ice age, Physical oceanography and Forcing.
Water mass is closely attributed to North Atlantic Deep Water in her research.
Delia W Oppo has included themes like Antarctic Bottom Water and Ice sheet in her North Atlantic Deep Water study.
