Overview

Kevin F. Sullivan is affiliated with the National University of Ireland, Galway in Ireland. Their research spans multiple subfields within Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a primary focus on Oceanography, complemented by Molecular Biology, Genetics, Global and Planetary Change, and Ecology.

The main topics of their work include Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses, Marine and Coastal Ecosystems, Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes, Forensic and Genetic Research, Molecular Biology Techniques and Applications, Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics, and Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies.

Kevin F. Sullivan has contributed frequently to various scientific journals. The venues where their work is most commonly published include:

  • Forensic Science International Synergy
  • Marine Chemistry
  • Forensic Science International Genetics
  • Earth system science data
  • Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine

The researcher has collaborated extensively with other scientists, notably with Michelle Gaskell, June Guiness, Rik Wanninkhof, Denis Pierrot, and Leticia Barbero.

Some of their recent publications highlight both environmental and forensic science themes. These include:

  • "Comparison of discrete and underway CO2 measurements: Inferences on the temperature dependence of the fugacity of CO2 in seawater," 2022, Marine Chemistry
  • "Interpretation and reporting of mixed DNA profiles by seven forensic laboratories in the UK and Ireland," 2022, Forensic Science International Genetics
  • "A 17-year dataset of surface water fugacity of CO2 along with calculated pH, aragonite saturation state and air-sea CO2 fluxes in the northern Caribbean Sea," 2020, Earth system science data
  • "Understanding and mitigating the risks that environmental DNA contamination poses to the recovery of forensic evidence from victims and suspects of rape and sexual assault," 2025, Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine
  • "Esperanto for histones: CENP-A, not CenH3, is the centromeric histone H3 variant," 2020, UNC Libraries
