Overview

Peter Frenzel is affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany and has an extensive research portfolio primarily within Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work spans various subfields including Atmospheric Science, Paleontology, Ecology, Earth-Surface Processes, and Oceanography.

The main topics covered by Frenzel include:

  • Geology and Paleoclimatology Research
  • Geological formations and processes
  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Evolution and Paleontology Studies
  • Methane Hydrates and Related Phenomena
  • Geological Studies and Exploration
  • Maritime and Coastal Archaeology

The scientist has published in several prominent venues with the most frequent being the Publishing Network for Geoscientific and Environmental Data (PANGAEA) hosted by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, where they have 9 publications. Other notable publication venues include Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) with 8 publications, Paläontologische Zeitschrift (3 publications), Frontiers in Earth Science (3 publications), and Geoarchaeology (2 publications).

Some recent publications showcasing the scope of their research include:

  • "Comment on the letter of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) dated April 21, 2020 regarding 'Fossils from conflict zones and reproducibility of fossil-based scientific data': the importance of private collections" (2020, Paläontologische Zeitschrift)
  • "The unexpectedly short Holocene Humid Period in Northern Arabia" (2022, Communications Earth & Environment)
  • "Spatial distribution and consequences of contaminants in harbour sediments - A case study from Richards Bay Harbour, South Africa" (2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin)
  • "Marine and marginal marine Ostracoda as proxies in geoarchaeology" (2021, Marine Micropaleontology)
  • "Customizing hydrothermal properties of inkjet printed sensitive films by functionalization of carbon nanotubes" (2020, Nanotechnology)

Frenzel frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Junbo Wang, Antje Schwalb, Torsten Haberzettl, Nicole Börner, and Paula Echeverría-Galindo, with collaboration counts ranging from 11 to 14 coauthored works per partner. This network highlights a strong interdisciplinary approach integrating geoscience with environmental and paleontological studies.
