What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Climate change
- Oceanography
Heiko Pälike focuses on Paleontology, Oceanography, Cenozoic, Paleoclimatology and Glacial period.
The Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Foraminifera and Sea level.
Oceanography is often connected to Methane in his work.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neogene, Biochronology, Coring and Arctic.
His Paleoclimatology research incorporates elements of Climatology, Carbon cycle and Astrochronology.
His Glacial period study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Global cooling, Ocean acidification and Ice sheet.
His most cited work include:
- Rapid stepwise onset of Antarctic glaciation and deeper calcite compensation in the Pacific Ocean (496 citations)
- Centennial-scale climate cooling with a sudden cold event around 8,200 years ago (495 citations)
- Review and revision of Cenozoic tropical planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and calibration to the geomagnetic polarity and astronomical time scale (481 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Oceanography, Table, Paleogene and Cenozoic.
Sedimentary rock, Stratigraphy, Magnetostratigraphy, Milankovitch cycles and Glacial period are subfields of Paleontology in which his conducts study.
His Glacial period study frequently links to other fields, such as Ice sheet.
His study in Benthic zone, Foraminifera, Arctic, Paleoceanography and Sea ice is done as part of Oceanography.
His Table study combines topics in areas such as Mineralogy and Geodesy.
His Cenozoic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neogene and Carbonate compensation depth.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (37.23%)
- Oceanography (28.19%)
- Table (14.63%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Sediment (8.78%)
- Oceanography (28.19%)
- Geochemistry (7.18%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Sediment, Oceanography, Geochemistry, Paleontology and Sedimentary rock.
His study in Sediment is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy and Hydrology.
The study of Oceanography is intertwined with the study of Isotopes of carbon in a number of ways.
His Isotopes of carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Alkenone, Foraminifera, Earth science and Volcano.
The various areas that he examines in his Paleontology study include Continental shelf and Seabed.
The concepts of his Paleoclimatology study are interwoven with issues in Glacial period and Physical geography.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Very large release of mostly volcanic carbon during the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (128 citations)
- Causes of ice age intensification across the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (70 citations)
- Causes of ice age intensification across the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (70 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Climate change
- Oceanography
His main research concerns Oceanography, Sedimentary rock, Paleontology, Cenozoic and Physical geography.
His research in Oceanography tackles topics such as Isotopes of carbon which are related to areas like Predictability.
His Paleontology research incorporates themes from Abyssal zone and Co2 exchange.
His studies deal with areas such as Deep sea, Water mass, Geologic time scale and Contourite as well as Cenozoic.
The Physical geography study which covers Glacial period that intersects with Sea level and Ice-sheet dynamics.
He has included themes like Paleoclimatology and Ice sheet in his Sea level study.
