Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Paleontology

Joel D. Blum spends much of his time researching Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Weathering, Ecology and Mineralogy. His Mercury study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Trace element, Bay and Trace metal. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Fractionation, Isotope fractionation, Mass-independent fractionation and Forest ecology.

The various areas that Joel D. Blum examines in his Weathering study include Glacial period, Moraine and Isotopes of strontium. His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mineral, Soil water, Isotope analysis, Coal and Seawater. His work carried out in the field of Methylmercury brings together such families of science as Oceanography and Bioaccumulation.

His most cited work include:

  • The middle Pleistocene transition: characteristics, mechanisms, and implications for long-term changes in atmospheric pCO2 (573 citations)
  • Mass-Dependent and -Independent Fractionation of Hg Isotopes by Photoreduction in Aquatic Systems (452 citations)
  • The use of isotope tracers for identifying populations of migratory birds. (375 citations)

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

Joel D. Blum focuses on Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Racism, Commit and Viewpoints. His Mercury study combines topics in areas such as Fractionation, Oceanography, Mass-independent fractionation and Bioaccumulation. Geochemistry is closely connected to Mineralogy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Environmental chemistry.

His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tektite, Carbonate and Biotite. Particularly relevant to Food web is his body of work in Ecology. His Methylmercury study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Trophic level.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mercury (27.65%)
  • Environmental chemistry (25.70%)
  • Racism (17.60%)

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

  • Racism (17.60%)
  • Workforce (16.20%)
  • Commit (16.20%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Racism, Workforce, Commit, Public relations and Solidarity. Racism combines with fields such as Environmental ethics and Chemistry in his research. His Workforce studies intersect with other subjects such as Diversity, Publishing, Inclusion and Viewpoints.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New Insights on Ecosystem Mercury Cycling Revealed by Stable Isotopes of Mercury in Water Flowing from a Headwater Peatland Catchment (28 citations)
  • Mercury Stable Isotope Fractionation during Abiotic Dark Oxidation in the Presence of Thiols and Natural Organic Matter (20 citations)
  • Hg isotopes reveal in-stream processing and legacy inputs in East Fork Poplar Creek, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Paleontology

Joel D. Blum mainly focuses on Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Isotope fractionation, Racism and Mass-independent fractionation. His study in Mercury focuses on Methylmercury in particular. His Methylmercury research incorporates themes from Trophic level, Isotope analysis, Aquatic ecosystem and Ecosystem.

His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Hyporheic zone, Water column, Isotopic composition, Fractionation and Mercury Isotopes. His Fractionation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Humic acid and Advection. His research in Bioaccumulation intersects with topics in Photochemistry and Biogeochemistry.
