Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

Howard J. Spero mostly deals with Oceanography, Foraminifera, Seawater, δ18O and Globigerina bulloides. As a member of one scientific family, Howard J. Spero mostly works in the field of Oceanography, focusing on Glacial period and, on occasion, Sea surface temperature. His study in Foraminifera is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Isotopic composition, Isotopes of boron and Calcite.

His work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry, Carbonate Ion and Kinetic fractionation, which intersect with Calcite. The various areas that he examines in his Seawater study include Isotopes of carbon, Paleontology, δ13C, Respiration and Analytical chemistry. His work carried out in the field of δ18O brings together such families of science as Reef, Coral reef, Mineralogy and Coelenterata.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate Impact of Late Quaternary Equatorial Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Variations (828 citations)
  • Reevaluation of the oxygen isotopic composition of planktonic foraminifera: Experimental results and revised paleotemperature equations (801 citations)
  • Effect of seawater carbonate concentration on foraminiferal carbon and oxygen isotopes (789 citations)

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

Howard J. Spero mainly investigates Oceanography, Foraminifera, Seawater, Plankton and Calcite. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glacial period, δ18O and Isotopes of oxygen. His research integrates issues of Mixed layer and δ13C in his study of δ18O.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry and Paleontology. Howard J. Spero interconnects Orbulina universa, Deep sea and Isotopes of carbon in the investigation of issues within Seawater. His Calcite study incorporates themes from Secondary ion mass spectrometry, Biomineralization and Partition coefficient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (44.44%)
  • Foraminifera (34.30%)
  • Seawater (18.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Foraminifera (34.30%)
  • Oceanography (44.44%)
  • Calcite (16.91%)

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

Howard J. Spero mainly focuses on Foraminifera, Oceanography, Calcite, Seawater and Paleoceanography. Globigerinoides is the focus of his Foraminifera research. His research on Oceanography frequently connects to adjacent areas such as δ18O.

His studies examine the connections between Calcite and genetics, as well as such issues in Globigerina bulloides, with regards to Respiration. His Seawater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sea surface temperature and Benthic zone. His Paleoceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Analytical chemistry.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Nanometer-Scale Chemistry of a Calcite Biomineralization Template: Implications for Skeletal Composition and Nucleation (42 citations)
  • Link between light-triggered Mg-banding and chamber formation in the planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina dutertrei. (41 citations)
  • Calibration of the carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of benthic foraminifera (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Paleontology

Howard J. Spero spends much of his time researching Foraminifera, Calcite, Seawater, Mineralogy and Analytical chemistry. His Foraminifera study improves the overall literature in Oceanography. In his research, Partition coefficient, Plankton, Environmental chemistry and Marine snow is intimately related to Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, which falls under the overarching field of Calcite.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Orbulina universa and Sea surface temperature in addition to Seawater. In his study, Chemical physics is inextricably linked to Biomineralization, which falls within the broad field of Mineralogy. His work in the fields of Mass spectrometry and Secondary ion mass spectrometry overlaps with other areas such as Outgassing, Chemical composition and In situ.
