2020 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Carbon dioxide

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Nitrate, Phytoplankton, Sediment and Surface water. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Glacial period and Photic zone. His Nitrate research incorporates themes from Inorganic chemistry, Particulates, Ecosystem and Denitrification, Human impact on the nitrogen cycle.

His Phytoplankton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Total organic carbon, Carbon cycle and Chlorophyll a. The study incorporates disciplines such as Diagenesis and Geochemical cycle in addition to Sediment. The various areas that Mark A. Altabet examines in his Surface water study include Thermocline, Seawater and Ammonia.

His most cited work include:

  • METHODS FOR MEASURING DENITRIFICATION: DIVERSE APPROACHES TO A DIFFICULT PROBLEM (656 citations)
  • Sedimentary nitrogen isotopic ratio as a recorder for surface ocean nitrate utilization (584 citations)
  • Southern Ocean Iron Enrichment Experiment: Carbon Cycling in High- and Low-Si Waters (501 citations)

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

Mark A. Altabet focuses on Oceanography, Nitrate, Environmental chemistry, Denitrification and Water column. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phytoplankton, Photic zone, Glacial period and Biogeochemical cycle. His Nitrate research focuses on Seawater and how it connects with Inorganic chemistry.

His work deals with themes such as Organic matter, Isotopes of nitrogen and Nitrogen cycle, which intersect with Environmental chemistry. His Denitrification study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as δ18O and Isotopes of oxygen. His study in Water column is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trace gas, Sediment, Biogeochemistry and Oxygen minimum zone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (49.71%)
  • Nitrate (24.56%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.98%)

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

  • Oceanography (49.71%)
  • Nitrate (24.56%)
  • Environmental chemistry (23.98%)

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

Mark A. Altabet mainly investigates Oceanography, Nitrate, Environmental chemistry, Seawater and Denitrification. He integrates Oceanography with Margin in his study. Mark A. Altabet has included themes like Isotope analysis, Sample preparation, Mesoscale meteorology and Chloride in his Nitrate study.

His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Isotopic composition, Isotope geochemistry, China sea and Pollutant. His Seawater research includes themes of Compressibility, Dissolved organic carbon, Nitrification and Nitrogen cycle. Mark A. Altabet combines subjects such as Sediment, Water column, Bottom water, Oxygen minimum zone and Benthic zone with his study of Denitrification.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Kelp beds and their local effects on seawater chemistry, productivity, and microbial communities. (25 citations)
  • Single cell genomic and transcriptomic evidence for the use of alternative nitrogen substrates by anammox bacteria (20 citations)
  • N and O isotope (δ15Nα, δ15Nβ, δ 18O, δ17O) analyses of dissolved NO3- and NO2- by the Cd-azide reduction method and N2O laser spectrometry (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Carbon dioxide

His primary areas of investigation include Analytical chemistry, Laser spectrometry, Environmental chemistry, Ammonium and Nitrogen cycle. As a part of the same scientific family, Mark A. Altabet mostly works in the field of Analytical chemistry, focusing on Isotope analysis and, on occasion, Nitrate. His studies deal with areas such as Denitrification, Isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, Sample preparation and Chloride as well as Laser spectrometry.

His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chromium, Isotope geochemistry, Pollutant and Environmental remediation. His Nitrogen cycle study combines topics in areas such as Biochemistry and Microbial metabolism. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Dissolved organic carbon, focusing on Seawater and, on occasion, Kelp, Blue carbon, Nereocystis and Kelp forest.
