Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

Ken O. Buesseler mainly investigates Oceanography, Total organic carbon, Seawater, Carbon cycle and Atmospheric sciences. His Plankton study in the realm of Oceanography interacts with subjects such as Flux. His work in Total organic carbon tackles topics such as Bloom which are related to areas like Biogenic silica.

His work carried out in the field of Seawater brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry, Water pollution, Water pollutants and Nuclear power. His Carbon cycle research includes elements of Carbon dioxide and Biogeochemistry. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Sediment trap, Water column, Field and Physical oceanography.

His most cited work include:

  • A mesoscale phytoplankton bloom in the polar Southern Ocean stimulated by iron fertilization (1273 citations)
  • Mesoscale iron enrichment experiments 1993-2005 : Synthesis and future directions (981 citations)
  • Synthesis of iron fertilization experiments: From the iron age in the age of enlightenment (724 citations)

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

Ken O. Buesseler mostly deals with Oceanography, Seawater, Radionuclide, Environmental chemistry and Particulates. His research integrates issues of Phytoplankton, Biological pump and Total organic carbon in his study of Oceanography. Ken O. Buesseler interconnects Diatom and Plankton in the investigation of issues within Phytoplankton.

As a member of one scientific family, Ken O. Buesseler mostly works in the field of Seawater, focusing on Thorium and, on occasion, Geotraces. In his research, Hydrology is intimately related to Atmospheric sciences, which falls under the overarching field of Radionuclide. Ken O. Buesseler has researched Particulates in several fields, including TRACER and Neutral buoyancy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (54.66%)
  • Seawater (22.27%)
  • Radionuclide (17.41%)

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

  • Oceanography (54.66%)
  • Environmental chemistry (16.19%)
  • Geotraces (6.48%)

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

Oceanography, Environmental chemistry, Geotraces, Uranium and Seawater are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Carbon cycle, Radionuclide and Ocean gyre in addition to Oceanography. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biota, Anthropogenic radionuclides, Arctic and The arctic.

His Seawater research includes themes of Ultrapure water and Groundwater. His Mesopelagic zone study which covers Upwelling that intersects with Photic zone. In Sediment trap, Ken O. Buesseler works on issues like Range, which are connected to Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (138 citations)
  • Metrics that matter for assessing the ocean biological carbon pump (26 citations)
  • 234Th as a tracer of particulate export and remineralization in the southeastern tropical Pacific (23 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

His scientific interests lie mostly in Carbon cycle, Oceanography, Geotraces, Atmospheric sciences and Radionuclide. He has included themes like Remote sensing, Remote sensing, Carbon flux and Biogeochemistry in his Carbon cycle study. His work on Mesopelagic zone as part of general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Oxygen metabolism, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Particulates, Ecosystem and Earth system science. As part of the same scientific family, Ken O. Buesseler usually focuses on Earth system science, concentrating on Photic zone and intersecting with Carbon sequestration, Climate change, Biological pump, Upwelling and Ocean gyre. He combines subjects such as Sustainability and Environmental resource management with his study of Radionuclide.
