Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Glacier
  • Carbon dioxide

Martyn Tranter mainly investigates Glacier, Oceanography, Meltwater, Glacial period and Ice sheet. His Glacier research incorporates themes from Surface runoff, Sediment and Biogeochemical cycle. His study looks at the intersection of Oceanography and topics like Earth science with Geochemical cycle, Lead and Biosphere.

His Meltwater research incorporates elements of Hydrology, Denudation, Snowmelt and Weathering. His work carried out in the field of Glacial period brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry, Iceberg and Ecosystem. Within one scientific family, Martyn Tranter focuses on topics pertaining to Climate change under Ice sheet, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Nutrient cycle and Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • Widespread bacterial populations at glacier beds and their relationship to rock weathering and carbon cycling (235 citations)
  • Physical, chemical and biological processes in Lake Vostok and other Antarctic subglacial lakes (200 citations)
  • Geochemical weathering at the bed of Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland - a new model (197 citations)

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

Martyn Tranter mainly focuses on Glacier, Oceanography, Hydrology, Meltwater and Ice sheet. The various areas that Martyn Tranter examines in his Glacier study include Glacial period, Arctic and Weathering. His Glacial period research incorporates themes from Bedrock and Sediment.

His study connects Biogeochemical cycle and Oceanography. As a part of the same scientific family, Martyn Tranter mostly works in the field of Hydrology, focusing on Snow and, on occasion, Atmospheric sciences, Physical geography and Precipitation. His study looks at the relationship between Ice sheet and fields such as Ice stream, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (39.72%)
  • Oceanography (25.78%)
  • Hydrology (23.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Glacier (39.72%)
  • Greenland ice sheet (13.24%)
  • Ice sheet (20.91%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Greenland ice sheet, Ice sheet, Oceanography and Cryosphere. His biological study focuses on Meltwater. The concepts of his Greenland ice sheet study are interwoven with issues in Cryoconite, Albedo, Atmospheric sciences, Algal bloom and Algae.

His Ice sheet study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Glacial period, Paleontology, Ice stream, Earth science and Sea ice. The various areas that he examines in his Oceanography study include Mineral dust and Carbon cycle. His Biogeochemical cycle study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology and Arctic.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Glacier shrinkage driving global changes in downstream systems (158 citations)
  • Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans (153 citations)
  • The Greenland Ice Sheet as a hot spot of phosphorus weathering and export in the Arctic (100 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Glacier
  • Carbon dioxide

Martyn Tranter mostly deals with Ice sheet, Glacier, Greenland ice sheet, Oceanography and Sea ice. His studies deal with areas such as Meltwater and Albedo as well as Ice sheet. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Snow, Glacial period, Biogeochemical cycle and Biogeochemistry.

He has included themes like Bedrock, Iceberg and Earth science in his Glacial period study. His Greenland ice sheet study incorporates themes from Environmental chemistry, Aeolian processes, Atmospheric sciences and Arctic. His study in Cryosphere and Dissolved organic carbon is done as part of Oceanography.
