Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Hydrology, Methylmercury, Amazon rainforest and MERCURE. Aquatic ecosystem is the focus of his Environmental chemistry research. In his research on the topic of Aquatic ecosystem, Pollution is strongly related with Ecosystem.

He has researched Hydrology in several fields, including Macrophyte, Soil water and Water column. His research links Surgery with Methylmercury. The concepts of his Amazon rainforest study are interwoven with issues in Fish consumption, Environmental protection, Drainage basin, Dietary survey and Animal science.

His most cited work include:

  • The geochemistry of mercury in central amazonian soils developed on the Alter-do-Chão formation of the lower Tapajós River Valley, Pará state, Brazil (202 citations)
  • Effects of recent human colonization on the presence of mercury in amazonian ecosystems (202 citations)
  • Human exposure to mercury due to goldmining in the Tapajos River basin, Amazon, Brazil: Speciation of mercury in human hair, blood and urine (190 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Methylmercury, Amazon rainforest, Macrophyte and Ecology. Many of his research projects under Environmental chemistry are closely connected to Gold mining with Gold mining, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His studies in Methylmercury integrate themes in fields like MERCURE, Botany, Microorganism, Biogeochemical cycle and Periphyton.

His Amazon rainforest study incorporates themes from Drainage basin, Fishery, Animal science and Environmental protection. As a member of one scientific family, Jean Remy Davée Guimarães mostly works in the field of Macrophyte, focusing on Floodplain and, on occasion, Organic matter. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Predatory fish and Oceanography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (42.86%)
  • Methylmercury (31.43%)
  • Amazon rainforest (25.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Environmental chemistry (42.86%)
  • Environmental health (8.57%)
  • Amazon rainforest (25.71%)

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

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Environmental health, Amazon rainforest, Methylmercury and Pesticide. His study deals with a combination of Environmental chemistry and Gold mining. His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Ecosystem management and Environmental education.

In his research, Environmental impact assessment is intimately related to Fishery, which falls under the overarching field of Amazon rainforest. In his study, Microcosm, Microbial metabolism, Biogeochemical cycle and Dry season is inextricably linked to Dissolved organic carbon, which falls within the broad field of Methylmercury. His Pollution research integrates issues from Drainage basin, Water quality and Water pollution.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Evidence of transboundary mercury and other pollutants in the Puyango-Tumbes River basin, Ecuador–Peru (20 citations)
  • An investigation of mercury sources in the Puyango-Tumbes River: Using stable Hg isotopes to characterize transboundary Hg pollution. (19 citations)
  • Mercury Pollution in Amapá, Brazil: Mercury Amalgamation in Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining or Land-Cover and Land-Use Changes? (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Methylmercury, Gold mining, Pollution and Aquatic ecosystem. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dry season, Periphyton and Microbial metabolism. He combines subjects such as Botany, Microorganism, Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Iron bacteria and Mangrove with his study of Methylmercury.

Erosion, Ecosystem, Gold extraction, Contamination and Mass-independent fractionation are fields of study that intersect with his Gold mining research. His Pollution study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drainage basin, Water quality and Water pollution. His Aquatic ecosystem study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Environmental exposure.
