Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Agriculture

Amazon rainforest, Environmental chemistry, Methylmercury, Ecology and Hydrology are his primary areas of study. His study in Amazon rainforest is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Drainage basin, Forestry, MERCURE and Environmental protection. His studies deal with areas such as Animal science, Fishing and Pollution as well as Environmental protection.

His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Octocrylene, Mercury pollution, Distilled water and Respiratory system. In his work, Littoral zone is strongly intertwined with Sediment, which is a subfield of Hydrology. His Bioaccumulation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Contamination, Toxicology and Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Gold Mining as a Source of Mercury Exposure in the Brazilian Amazon (446 citations)
  • Recovery of Mercury-Contaminated Fisheries (281 citations)
  • Trophic magnification factors: Considerations of ecology, ecosystems, and study design (243 citations)

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

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Bioaccumulation, Methylmercury and Amazon rainforest. His work in Environmental chemistry addresses issues such as Bay, which are connected to fields such as Mussel. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology, Ecotoxicology, Fishery, Biota and Animal science.

His research in Methylmercury intersects with topics in Predatory fish, Aquatic ecosystem and MERCURE. Within one scientific family, Olaf Malm focuses on topics pertaining to Environmental protection under Amazon rainforest, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pollution. Olaf Malm interconnects Food chain and Plankton in the investigation of issues within Trophic level.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (37.65%)
  • Ecology (21.18%)
  • Bioaccumulation (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (37.65%)
  • Bioaccumulation (20.00%)
  • Zoology (8.63%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Bioaccumulation, Zoology, Trophic level and Fishery. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Sediment, Water column and Plankton. Olaf Malm has included themes like Subtropics, Methylmercury, Pollutant and Fishing in his Bioaccumulation study.

His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bay and Seabird. His Trophic level research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. His Aquatic ecosystem course of study focuses on Phytoplankton and Amazon rainforest.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Total and methyl mercury distribution in water, sediment, plankton and fish along the Tapajós River basin in the Brazilian Amazon (23 citations)
  • Far-reaching cytogenotoxic effects of mine waste from the Fundão dam disaster in Brazil. (19 citations)
  • Fluoroquinolones in agricultural soils: Multi-temporal variation and risks in Rio de Janeiro upland region. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Agriculture

Olaf Malm mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Biota, Drainage basin, Bioaccumulation and Hydrology. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Pollutant, Pollution and Water column. The various areas that Olaf Malm examines in his Drainage basin study include Agriculture, Tributary, Amazon rainforest, Wild life and Methylmercury.

His Bioaccumulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subtropics, Fluoranthene, Phenanthrene and Transect. His studies deal with areas such as Hydroelectricity, River sediment and Particulates as well as Hydrology. Olaf Malm works mostly in the field of Contamination, limiting it down to topics relating to Squalidae and, in certain cases, Biomagnification, as a part of the same area of interest.
