Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Oceanography

Her primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Holocene, δ18O, Isotopes of oxygen and Sediment. Her Oceanography research focuses on subjects like Isotopes of carbon, which are linked to Environmental change and Weathering. The Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Glacial period, Mediterranean climate, Quaternary and Physical geography.

Her δ18O research incorporates elements of Seasonality, Mineralogy, Monsoon, Paleoecology and Holocene climatic optimum. Her Isotopes of oxygen research integrates issues from Climatology, Isotope hydrology, Authigenic, Biogenic silica and Plateau. Her Sediment research includes elements of Estuary, Organic matter and Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon.

Her most cited work include:

  • Palaeoclimate interpretation of stable isotope data from lake sediment archives (804 citations)
  • A review of coastal palaeoclimate and relative sea-level reconstructions using δ13C and C/N ratios in organic material (517 citations)
  • A review of coastal palaeoclimate and relative sea-level reconstructions using δ13C and C/N ratios in organic material (517 citations)

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

Melanie J. Leng mainly focuses on Oceanography, Holocene, Paleontology, Isotopes of oxygen and Diatom. The various areas that Melanie J. Leng examines in her Oceanography study include Sediment, Glacial period and δ18O. Melanie J. Leng has researched Glacial period in several fields, including Mediterranean climate, Quaternary and Ice sheet.

The various areas that Melanie J. Leng examines in her Holocene study include Climatology, Pleistocene, Paleoclimatology, Environmental change and Physical geography. Melanie J. Leng combines subjects such as Geochemistry and Isotopes of carbon with her study of Paleontology. The Isotopes of carbon study which covers Organic matter that intersects with Carbon cycle.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (66.75%)
  • Holocene (41.30%)
  • Paleontology (27.37%)

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

  • Oceanography (66.75%)
  • Holocene (41.30%)
  • Physical geography (19.21%)

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

Melanie J. Leng focuses on Oceanography, Holocene, Physical geography, Geochemistry and Sediment. Oceanography is closely attributed to Isotopes of oxygen in her work. Her Holocene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climatology, Monsoon, Climate change, Paleoclimatology and δ18O.

Her Physical geography study also includes

  • Environmental change and related Drainage basin and Productivity,
  • Glacial period together with Pleistocene, Quaternary and Wetland. Her Geochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin, Organic matter and Anoxic waters. Her Sediment research includes themes of Sedimentary rock, Flood myth, Total organic carbon and Erosion.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Evolution of the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) carbon-cycle and global climatic controls on local sedimentary processes (Cardigan Bay Basin, UK) (59 citations)
  • Evolution of the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) carbon-cycle and global climatic controls on local sedimentary processes (Cardigan Bay Basin, UK) (59 citations)
  • Holocene El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability reflected in subtropical Australian precipitation (50 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Climate change

Oceanography, Glacial period, Holocene, Sediment and Physical geography are her primary areas of study. Her Glacial period research incorporates themes from Total organic carbon, Quaternary, Pleistocene and Wetland. Her Holocene study combines topics in areas such as Paleoclimatology, δ18O, Ecosystem, Diatom and Isotopes of oxygen.

Her study in Diatom is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seasonality and Holocene climatic optimum. Her Sediment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geochemistry, Weathering, Lake ecosystem and Continental margin. Her study looks at the relationship between Physical geography and fields such as Drainage basin, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
