Overview

Karl-Heinz Baumann is affiliated with the University of Bremen in Germany and has contributed extensively to the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a particular focus on oceanography, atmospheric science, and ocean engineering. Their research spans several subfields including ecology and earth-surface processes.

Their recent research outputs include studies on phytoplankton and zooplankton community flux variability in coastal upwelling regions, as well as explorations of past ocean productivity and hydrodynamics in the Indian Ocean. Notable recent papers are:

  • Flux variability of phyto- and zooplankton communities in the Mauritanian coastal upwelling between 2003 and 2008 (2020), published in Biogeosciences
  • Strong glacial-interglacial variability in upper ocean hydrodynamics, biogeochemistry, and productivity in the southern Indian Ocean (2021), published in Communications Earth & Environment
  • Carbonate fluxes by coccolithophore species between NW Africa and the Caribbean: Implications for the biological carbon pump (2021), published in Limnology and Oceanography
  • Coccolithophore productivity at the western Iberian Margin during the Middle Pleistocene (310-455 ka) - evidence from coccolith Sr/Ca data (2020), published in Climate of the past
  • Revision of the Quaternary calcareous nannofossil biochronology of Arctic Ocean sediments (2023), published in Quaternary Science Reviews
