Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Glacial period, Foraminifera, Upwelling and Sea surface temperature. Her research integrates issues of Sediment and Terrigenous sediment in her study of Oceanography. She is studying Interglacial, which is a component of Glacial period.

Her Foraminifera study combines topics in areas such as Pinna nobilis, Calcite, North Atlantic oscillation, Hydrography and Seawater. Her study looks at the relationship between Upwelling and fields such as Diatom, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Fatima F Abrantes has included themes like Monsoon, Ocean current and Global change in her Sea surface temperature study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mediterranean outflow strengthening during northern hemisphere coolings: A salt source for the glacial Atlantic? (203 citations)
  • Diatom assemblages as upwelling indicators in surface sediments off Portugal (130 citations)
  • Environmental and biological controls on elemental (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca and Mn/Ca) ratios in shells of the king scallop Pecten maximus (117 citations)

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

Fatima F Abrantes mainly focuses on Oceanography, Sediment core, Glacial period, Sea surface temperature and Foraminifera. Her work in Oceanography addresses subjects such as Sediment, which are connected to disciplines such as Continental shelf. Her Sediment core study which covers Table that intersects with Hydrology.

Her research in Sea surface temperature intersects with topics in Marine isotope stage and Sea level. Her Upwelling study combines topics in areas such as Total organic carbon, Productivity, Photic zone, North Atlantic oscillation and Chaetoceros. Fatima F Abrantes has included themes like Abundance and Quaternary in her Diatom study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (60.40%)
  • Sediment core (26.73%)
  • Glacial period (16.83%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Oceanography (60.40%)
  • Sediment core (26.73%)
  • Climatology (11.55%)

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

Fatima F Abrantes mainly investigates Oceanography, Sediment core, Climatology, Interglacial and Foraminifera. Her research in Oceanography tackles topics such as Emiliania huxleyi which are related to areas like Coccolithophore. Her work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Geochemistry, which intersect with Sediment core.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Middle latitudes, Orbital forcing, Holocene and Ice sheet. The Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Mediterranean climate and Peninsula. In the field of Foraminifera, her study on Globigerina bulloides overlaps with subjects such as Margin.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Full annual monitoring of Subantarctic Emiliania huxleyi populations reveals highly calcified morphotypes in high-CO2 winter conditions. (40 citations)
  • A 1-Ma record of sea surface temperature and extreme cooling events in the North Atlantic: A perspective from the Iberian Margin (30 citations)
  • A 1-Ma record of sea surface temperature and extreme cooling events in the North Atlantic: A perspective from the Iberian Margin (30 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Climate change

Her main research concerns Oceanography, Interglacial, Climatology, Ice sheet and Glacial period. Her Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Emiliania huxleyi and Pleistocene. Her Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Global warming, Mediterranean climate and Holocene.

She performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Glacial period and Aggradation via her papers. Her Sea surface temperature research integrates issues from Meltwater, Middle latitudes, Extreme Cold and Stadial. Her study in Plankton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Foraminifera, Globigerina bulloides, Sea level and Surface water.
