Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Groundwater, Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ferrous and Most probable number. His study in Groundwater is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Nitrate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biochemistry and Botany in addition to Bacteria.

His research in Ferrous intersects with topics in Carbon dioxide, Gallionella, Metal and Nuclear chemistry. His work in Most probable number tackles topics such as Methane which are related to areas like Igneous rock, Biomass and Microorganism. His Aquifer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Contamination and Mineralogy.

His most cited work include:

  • Exploration of deep intraterrestrial microbial life: current perspectives (287 citations)
  • Microbial life in deep granitic rock (269 citations)
  • Biofilm development on stainless steel and PVC surfaces in drinking water (200 citations)

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

Karsten Pedersen mainly investigates Groundwater, Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ecology and Mineralogy. His Groundwater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microorganism, Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Total organic carbon and Radioactive waste. His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Biofilm, Ferrous, Metal, Heterotroph and Sulfate.

His Bacteria study incorporates themes from Botany and Microbiology. As a part of the same scientific family, Karsten Pedersen mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Autotroph and, on occasion, Archaea and Methanogenesis. As part of one scientific family, Karsten Pedersen deals mainly with the area of Mineralogy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Bentonite, and often Sulfur and Corrosion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Groundwater (36.62%)
  • Environmental chemistry (33.10%)
  • Bacteria (21.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2017)?

  • Environmental chemistry (33.10%)
  • Radioactive waste (12.68%)
  • Groundwater (36.62%)

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

Karsten Pedersen spends much of his time researching Environmental chemistry, Radioactive waste, Groundwater, Drilling and Orogeny. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Methanogen, Desulfovibrio and Pyrosequencing. His studies in Radioactive waste integrate themes in fields like Metallurgy, Metal, Corrosion and Copper.

The Copper study which covers Spent nuclear fuel that intersects with Cast iron, Sulfate-reducing bacteria and Magazine. The various areas that Karsten Pedersen examines in his Groundwater study include Microbial population biology, Bentonite, Autotroph, Archaea and Heterotroph. Karsten Pedersen regularly ties together related areas like Geochemistry in his Drilling studies.

Between 2013 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Sulphate-controlled Diversity of Subterranean Microbial Communities over Depth in Deep Groundwater with Opposing Gradients of Sulphate and Methane (30 citations)
  • COSC-1 - drilling of a subduction-related allochthon in the Palaeozoic Caledonide orogen of Scandinavia (29 citations)
  • Potential for hydrogen-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic and diazotrophic populations to initiate biofilm formation in oligotrophic, deep terrestrial subsurface waters (15 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Groundwater, Ecology, Bentonite and Radioactive waste. His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Magazine, Spent nuclear fuel, Hydrogenophaga, Plankton and Desulfosporosinus. His Groundwater research incorporates elements of Microorganism, Thiobacillus and Desulfovibrio.

He interconnects Verrucomicrobia and Biofilm in the investigation of issues within Ecology. Karsten Pedersen has included themes like Metallurgy, Corrosion and Copper in his Bentonite study. His Radioactive waste research integrates issues from Sulfur, Ferrous, Metal, Mineralogy and Anoxic waters.
