Overview

Doris Abele was affiliated with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. Their research spanned various aspects of marine and polar sciences, with significant contributions to environmental science and earth and planetary sciences.

The scientist's work focused extensively on oceanography and ecology, supported by studies in global and planetary change, environmental chemistry, and atmospheric science. Key research topics included marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, marine biology and ecology research, ocean acidification effects and responses, polar research and ecology, marine and coastal ecosystems, marine toxins and detection methods, and physiological and biochemical adaptations.

Their publication record featured research articles in several notable venues, predominantly in Marine Environmental Research, Frontiers in Marine Science, Polar Biology, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and the Journal of Marine Systems.

  • Global Drivers on Southern Ocean Ecosystems: Changing Physical Environments and Anthropogenic Pressures in an Earth System (2020), Frontiers in Marine Science
  • Modelling suspended particulate matter dynamics at an Antarctic fjord impacted by glacier melt (2022), Journal of Marine Systems
  • Nitric oxide mediates metabolic functions in the bivalve Arctica islandica under hypoxia (2020), PLoS ONE
  • Molecular mechanisms underlying responses of the Antarctic coral Malacobelemnon daytoni to ocean acidification (2021), Marine Environmental Research
  • Photodegradation of a bacterial pigment and resulting hydrogen peroxide release enable coral settlement (2023), Scientific Reports

The scientist often collaborated with several frequent co-authors, including Christoph Held, Ricardo Sahade, Ulf Bickmeyer, Urban Tillmann, and Bernd Krock. These collaborations contributed to multidisciplinary research outputs in their fields of study.
