Jörg Bollmann

Overview

Jörg Bollmann is affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada and conducts research primarily in the fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work spans subfields including Oceanography, Atmospheric Science, Ecology, Earth-Surface Processes, and Paleontology.

The main topics of research addressed by Bollmann include marine and coastal ecosystems, geology and paleoclimatology research, marine biology and ecology research, paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils, water quality monitoring technologies, ocean acidification effects and responses, and marine bivalve and aquaculture studies.

Their recent publications reflect a focus on coccolithophores and related marine calcifying phytoplankton, along with investigations into environmental stress responses and paleoclimatic events. Selected recent papers include:

  • "Coccolith mass and morphology of different Emiliania huxleyi morphotypes: A critical examination using Canary Islands material," 2020, PLoS ONE
  • "Segmentation, retardation and mass approximation of birefringent particles on a standard light microscope," 2020, Journal of Microscopy
  • "Strain-specific morphological response of the dominant calcifying phytoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi to salinity change," 2021, PLoS ONE
  • "Short-term response of Emiliania huxleyi growth and morphology to abrupt salinity stress," 2024, Biogeosciences
  • "The Toba Eruption 74,000 Years ago Strengthened the Indian Winter Monsoon-Evidence From Coccolithophores," 2024, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology

Bollmann has frequently published in the journal PLoS ONE, with additional contributions to Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Journal of Microscopy, Biogeosciences, and Research Square.

Frequent collaborators in Bollmann's research include Jose Dominick Guballa, Katherine G. Schmidt, Andreas Lückge, Simen Alexander Linge Johnsen, and Christina Gebühr.
