Overview

Martin Zuschin is a researcher affiliated with the University of Vienna in Austria. Their work spans multiple areas within environmental and earth sciences, focusing extensively on ecology, oceanography, and atmospheric science, as well as global and planetary change and paleontology as subfields of study.

Zuschin's research covers a variety of topics including geology and paleoclimatology, marine biology and ecology, isotope analysis within ecological contexts, coral and marine ecosystems, marine and fisheries research, marine ecology with an emphasis on invasive species, and the paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils.

The researcher has contributed to a number of academic journals and venues with frequent publications in Geological Society London Special Publications, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Geology, Palaios, and Marine Ecology Progress Series.

Recent publications illustrate the scope of Zuschin's research interests, including:

  • Native biodiversity collapse in the eastern Mediterranean, 2021, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Ecological regime shift preserved in the Anthropocene stratigraphic record, 2020, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Non-indigenous molluscs in the Eastern Mediterranean have distinct traits and cannot replace historic ecosystem functioning, 2021, Global Ecology and Biogeography
  • Multiple phyla, one time resolution? Similar time averaging in benthic foraminifera, mollusk, echinoid, crustacean, and otolith fossil assemblages, 2022, Geology
  • Inferring time averaging and hiatus durations in the stratigraphic record of high-frequency depositional sequences, 2021, Sedimentology

Zuschin frequently collaborates with other researchers including Rafał Nawrot, Adam Tomášových, Paolo G. Albano, Ivo Gallmetzer, and Alexandra Haselmair.
