Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Sulfur
  • Paleontology

His main research concerns Sulfur, Sulfate, Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy and Sulfide. Specifically, his work in Sulfur is concerned with the study of Sulfur cycle. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sulfur cycle, Geologic record and Earth science is strongly linked to Great Oxygenation Event.

His study in Sulfate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seawater, Ecology and Inorganic chemistry. James Farquhar has researched δ34S in several fields, including Isotopic composition and Sulphur isotope. His Isotope fractionation research focuses on Paleontology and how it relates to Geochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Atmospheric Influence of Earth's Earliest Sulfur Cycle (1219 citations)
  • Multiple sulfur isotopes and the evolution of the atmosphere (424 citations)
  • Observation of wavelength‐sensitive mass‐independent sulfur isotope effects during SO2 photolysis: Implications for the early atmosphere (365 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Sulfur, Geochemistry, Sulfate, Environmental chemistry and Sulfide. His Sulfur cycle study in the realm of Sulfur interacts with subjects such as Isotopes of sulfur. His work in the fields of Mantle, Archean, Basalt and Kimberlite overlaps with other areas such as Proterozoic.

His Sulfate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sedimentary rock, Inorganic chemistry, Disproportionation, Seawater and Isotope fractionation. His work on Biogeochemical cycle as part of his general Environmental chemistry study is frequently connected to Environmental science, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Mineralogy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carbonate and Isotopic signature.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sulfur (55.17%)
  • Geochemistry (42.36%)
  • Sulfate (31.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Sulfur (55.17%)
  • Geochemistry (42.36%)
  • Sulfate (31.03%)

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

James Farquhar mostly deals with Sulfur, Geochemistry, Sulfate, Ice core and Isotopes of sulfur. James Farquhar interconnects Environmental chemistry, Sulfide, Fractionation and Meteorite in the investigation of issues within Sulfur. His Sulfide research includes elements of Diamond and Mineralogy.

James Farquhar focuses mostly in the field of Geochemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mantle plume and, in certain cases, Melt inclusions. The various areas that James Farquhar examines in his Sulfate study include Sulfide minerals and Troposphere. His research investigates the connection with Sulfur cycle and areas like Inorganic chemistry which intersect with concerns in Isotope fractionation, Catalysis and Reaction rate.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biological regulation of atmospheric chemistry en route to planetary oxygenation (44 citations)
  • Redox chemistry changes in the Panthalassic Ocean linked to the end-Permian mass extinction and delayed Early Triassic biotic recovery (40 citations)
  • Sulfur isotope composition of metasomatised mantle xenoliths from the Bultfontein kimberlite (Kimberley, South Africa): Contribution from subducted sediments and the effect of sulfide alteration on S isotope systematics (29 citations)

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

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Basalt
  • Sulfur

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Sulfur, Sulfate, Mantle and Volcano. His research in Sulfur is mostly concerned with Sulfur cycle. His research investigates the link between Sulfur cycle and topics such as Inorganic chemistry that cross with problems in Planetary differentiation, Mass-independent fractionation, Isotope fractionation and Silicon.

His research combines Sulfide and Sulfate. In his research on the topic of Mantle, Igneous rock, Basalt, Oceanic crust and Mantle plume is strongly related with Archean. His research investigates the connection between Volcano and topics such as Ice core that intersect with issues in Vulcanian eruption, Paleontology, Troposphere and Dome.
