What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
Michael Sarnthein mostly deals with Oceanography, Paleontology, Last Glacial Maximum, Paleoclimatology and Glacial period.
His Oceanography study deals with Quaternary intersecting with Holocene climatic optimum.
His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Foraminifera, Continental shelf and δ18O.
The Last Glacial Maximum study combines topics in areas such as Younger Dryas and Sea ice.
His research in Paleoclimatology intersects with topics in Halocline, Stratification, Photic zone, Subarctic climate and Biological pump.
His Meltwater study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ice core and Ice sheet.
His most cited work include:
- Abrupt onset and termination of the African Humid Period:rapid climate responses to gradual insolation forcing (1178 citations)
- Molecular stratigraphy: a new tool for climatic assessment (883 citations)
- Astronomic timescale for the Pliocene Atlantic δ18O and dust flux records of Ocean Drilling Program Site 659 (589 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Michael Sarnthein mainly investigates Sediment core, Oceanography, Hydrology, Glacial period and Foraminifera.
Michael Sarnthein has researched Sediment core in several fields, including Soil science, Table, Geochemistry, Environmental chemistry and Globigerinoides.
In his research on the topic of Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon is strongly related with Isotopes of oxygen.
His studies link Paleontology with Oceanography.
His Glacial period research incorporates elements of Quaternary and Paleoceanography.
Foraminifera is closely attributed to Plankton in his study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sediment core (42.63%)
- Oceanography (41.07%)
- Hydrology (16.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?
- Oceanography (41.07%)
- Glacial period (16.61%)
- Sediment core (42.63%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Glacial period, Sediment core, Paleontology and North Atlantic Deep Water.
His research in Last Glacial Maximum, Thermohaline circulation, Deep sea, Foraminifera and Bottom water are components of Oceanography.
Michael Sarnthein interconnects Deglaciation and Holocene in the investigation of issues within Foraminifera.
His work deals with themes such as Sea surface temperature, Northern Hemisphere, Quaternary and Paleoceanography, which intersect with Glacial period.
His work on Radiocarbon dating as part of general Paleontology study is frequently connected to Core, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
He has included themes like Mediterranean climate and Mediterranean sea in his North Atlantic Deep Water study.
Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Variations in temperature and extent of Atlantic Water in the northern North Atlantic during the Holocene (172 citations)
- Paleonutrient and productivity records from the subarctic North Pacific for Pleistocene glacial terminations I to V (97 citations)
- Mid-Pliocene shifts in ocean overturning circulation and the onset of Quaternary-style climates (82 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
Michael Sarnthein mainly focuses on Oceanography, Glacial period, Climatology, Deep sea and North Atlantic Deep Water.
His Oceanography and Thermohaline circulation, Bottom water, Benthic zone, Ocean current and Foraminifera investigations all form part of his Oceanography research activities.
His Benthic zone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleontology and Radiocarbon dating.
His Paleontology research includes elements of Plateau and Upwelling.
His research in Glacial period is mostly concerned with Last Glacial Maximum.
His Climatology research integrates issues from Global warming, Polar amplification, Fluvial and Ice sheet.
