Peter M. Outridge

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Oceanography

His scientific interests lie mostly in Arctic, Ecology, Mercury, Climate change and Biogeochemical cycle. Peter M. Outridge has researched Arctic in several fields, including Varve, Geochemistry, Deposition and Trace metal. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Environmental chemistry and Ecology.

His work deals with themes such as Aquatic animal, Water pollution, Food chain and Environmental protection, which intersect with Mercury. In his research on the topic of Water pollution, Sediment is strongly related with Mercury contamination. Many of his studies on Biogeochemical cycle apply to Oceanography as well.

His most cited work include:

• Persistent organic pollutants and mercury in marine biota of the Canadian Arctic: An overview of spatial and temporal trends (326 citations)
• Accumulation of toxic trace elements by freshwater vascular plants (146 citations)
• How does climate change influence Arctic mercury (138 citations)

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

Peter M. Outridge spends much of his time researching Mercury, Ecology, Arctic, Oceanography and Sediment. His work carried out in the field of Mercury brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry, Volcano, Environmental protection and The arctic. Peter M. Outridge combines subjects such as Aquatic animal, Fishery, Beluga and Deposition with his study of Arctic.

Oceanography is often connected to Marine ecosystem in his work. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology, Surface water, Organic matter and Geochemistry. His Geochemistry research includes elements of Pyrolysis and Trace metal.

He most often published in these fields:

• Mercury (52.48%)
• Ecology (34.65%)
• Arctic (37.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

• Mercury (52.48%)
• Trace metal (13.86%)
• Environmental chemistry (30.69%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Mercury, Trace metal, Environmental chemistry, Geochemistry and Volcano. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Biogeochemical cycle, Oceanography and Environmental protection in addition to Mercury. The various areas that Peter M. Outridge examines in his Biogeochemical cycle study include Gold mining, Terrestrial ecosystem, Biota and Effluent.

His Trace metal research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Erosion, Subarctic climate, Snowmelt and Taiga. His research integrates issues of Methylmercury, Ecosystem and Arctic in his study of Environmental chemistry. His Geochemistry research includes themes of Organic matter, Sediment and Holocene.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Updated Global and Oceanic Mercury Budgets for the United Nations Global Mercury Assessment 2018 (79 citations)
• Updated Global and Oceanic Mercury Budgets for the United Nations Global Mercury Assessment 2018 (79 citations)
• Toward an Assessment of the Global Inventory of Present-Day Mercury Releases to Freshwater Environments (43 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Ecosystem
• Oceanography

Peter M. Outridge mainly focuses on Mercury, Late 19th century, Environmental protection, Biogeochemical cycle and Ecology. His Mercury research incorporates elements of Terrestrial ecosystem and Biomonitoring. His Terrestrial ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Aquatic ecosystem, Methylmercury and Effluent.

His Biomonitoring research integrates issues from Wildlife, Climate change, Ecological niche, Biota and Trophic level. His Ecosystem study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Gold mining.
