Overview

Martin Jakobsson is affiliated with Stockholm University in Sweden and has contributed extensively to research in Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work spans several subfields including Atmospheric Science, Environmental Chemistry, Oceanography, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, and Geology.

Their research focuses on a range of topics such as Methane Hydrates and Related Phenomena, Geology and Paleoclimatology Research, Cryospheric studies and observations, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, Winter Sports Injuries and Performance, Geological Studies and Exploration, and Climate change and permafrost.

Jakobsson has published multiple papers, among which recent notable works include:

  • Ryder Glacier in northwest Greenland is shielded from warm Atlantic water by a bathymetric sill, 2020, Communications Earth & Environment
  • The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean Version 4.0, 2020, Scientific Data
  • The International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean Version 2, 2022, Scientific Data
  • Remobilization of dormant carbon from Siberian-Arctic permafrost during three past warming events, 2020, Science Advances
  • Physical Disturbance by Bottom Trawling Suspends Particulate Matter and Alters Biogeochemical Processes on and Near the Seafloor, 2021, Frontiers in Marine Science

Frequent publication venues for their work include:

  • The Cryosphere
  • Quaternary Science Reviews
  • Communications Earth & Environment
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Scientific Data

Jakobsson collaborates with several frequent coauthors, including:

  • Matt O'Regan
  • Christian Stranne
  • Larry A. Mayer
  • Brendan T. Reilly
  • Gabriel West

The combination of topics and fields in Jakobsson's oeuvre indicate a strong focus on cryospheric and oceanographic phenomena related to climate, particularly in polar regions. The publications reflect efforts to map and understand Arctic and Southern Ocean bathymetry, as well as the environmental impacts and geological processes associated with climate change.
