Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Mineral

Gordon Southam mainly focuses on Inorganic chemistry, Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Bacteria and Sulfide. His work deals with themes such as Ferrous, Sulfate-reducing bacteria and Sulfur, which intersect with Inorganic chemistry. His Geochemistry research includes elements of Carbon sequestration, Hydrothermal circulation and Groundwater.

The various areas that Gordon Southam examines in his Mineralogy study include Tailings, Abiogenic petroleum origin, Carbonate, Isotope geochemistry and Environmental chemistry. Gordon Southam combines subjects such as Diagenesis, Placer mining, Biomineralization and Microbiology with his study of Bacteria. Gordon Southam has included themes like Thiosulfate, Colloidal gold and Mineral in his Sulfide study.

His most cited work include:

  • Electrical Transport Along Bacterial Nanowires From Shewanella Oneidensis MR-1 (420 citations)
  • Could bacteria have formed the Precambrian banded iron formations (391 citations)
  • Environmental genomics reveals a single-species ecosystem deep within Earth. (328 citations)

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

Gordon Southam mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy, Tailings, Geochemistry and Weathering. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mineral, Ferrous, Sulfide, Dissolution and Iron ore. Gordon Southam interconnects Inorganic chemistry, Sulfate and Sulfur in the investigation of issues within Sulfide.

His study looks at the intersection of Mineralogy and topics like Sulfate-reducing bacteria with Biofilm. His Tailings research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carbonation, Hydromagnesite, Carbon sequestration, Pyrite and Carbon dioxide. His work on Geochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Mars Exploration Program.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (25.10%)
  • Mineralogy (19.01%)
  • Tailings (17.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (25.10%)
  • Tailings (17.11%)
  • Weathering (11.03%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Tailings, Weathering, Iron ore and Mineral. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ferrous, Iron oxide copper gold ore deposits, Dissolution, Pyrite and Leaching. His studies deal with areas such as Carbonation, Organic matter, Magnetite, Carbon sequestration and Hardpan as well as Tailings.

His Carbon sequestration research includes themes of Enhanced weathering, Carbonate minerals, Carbon accounting, Mineralogy and Carbon cycle. His Mineral research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pedogenesis and Aluminium. His research integrates issues of Inorganic chemistry, Cobalt, Sulfide, Zinc and Sulfate in his study of Metal.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anaerobic methane oxidation coupled to manganese reduction by members of the Methanoperedenaceae (48 citations)
  • Biogeochemical processes in canga ecosystems: Armoring of iron ore against erosion and importance in iron duricrust restoration in Brazil (19 citations)
  • Deciphering Biosignatures in Planetary Contexts (18 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Mineral

Environmental chemistry, Tailings, Weathering, Iron ore and Mineral are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Organic matter, Ferrous, Magnetite, Candidatus and Dissolution. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbonation, Carbonate minerals, Carbonate, Hydromagnesite and Carbon sequestration.

His Hydromagnesite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Magnesite, Mineralogy and Isotope fractionation. His Weathering study deals with the bigger picture of Geochemistry. His Mineral study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Biophysics, Biomineralization, Cell envelope and Aluminium.
