Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Oxygen

Pieter T. Visscher spends much of his time researching Microbial mat, Environmental chemistry, Carbonate, Ecology and Lithification. His Microbial mat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quorum sensing, Photosynthesis, Sulfate and Anoxic waters. His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Organic matter, Bacteria, Microbial metabolism, Inorganic chemistry and Calcium carbonate.

His Carbonate research includes elements of Dissolved organic carbon and Mineralogy, Calcite. His work in Ecology addresses subjects such as Biofilm, which are connected to disciplines such as Macromolecule, Polymer, Bacillus and Microbiology. He has included themes like Thrombolite, Sedimentation and Carbon cycle in his Lithification study.

His most cited work include:

  • Processes of carbonate precipitation in modern microbial mats (823 citations)
  • The role of microbes in accretion, lamination and early lithification of modern marine stromatolites (585 citations)
  • Microbial lithification in marine stromatolites and hypersaline mats (498 citations)

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

Pieter T. Visscher mainly investigates Microbial mat, Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Carbonate and Anoxic waters. His Microbial mat study combines topics in areas such as Microorganism, Biogeochemical cycle, Stromatolite, Lithification and Anoxygenic photosynthesis. His study in Lithification is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earth science and Early Earth.

His studies in Environmental chemistry integrate themes in fields like Sulfur, Bacteria, Sulfate, Calcium carbonate and Oceanography. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microbial ecology and Archaea. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cyanobacteria and Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Calcite in addition to Carbonate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbial mat (67.61%)
  • Environmental chemistry (32.95%)
  • Ecology (40.91%)

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

  • Microbial mat (67.61%)
  • Geochemistry (15.34%)
  • Ecology (40.91%)

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

Microbial mat, Geochemistry, Ecology, Microorganism and Lithification are his primary areas of study. His Microbial mat research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Biogeochemical cycle, Dissimilatory sulfate reduction, Hypersaline lake and Anoxygenic photosynthesis. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Sulfur, Tufa and Arsenic.

The various areas that Pieter T. Visscher examines in his Geochemistry study include Carbonate, Marl and Tectonics. His Ecology research focuses on Ecosystem in particular. His work deals with themes such as Mineralization, Stromatolite, Earth science and Early Earth, which intersect with Lithification.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Disentangling the drivers of functional complexity at the metagenomic level in Shark Bay microbial mat microbiomes (40 citations)
  • Disentangling the drivers of functional complexity at the metagenomic level in Shark Bay microbial mat microbiomes (40 citations)
  • Formation of stromatolite lamina at the interface of oxygenic–anoxygenic photosynthesis (30 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Oxygen
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbial mat, Biogeochemical cycle, Environmental chemistry, Geochemistry and Carbonate. As a member of one scientific family, Pieter T. Visscher mostly works in the field of Microbial mat, focusing on Stromatolite and, on occasion, Geologic record, Biosphere, Earth science, Early Earth and Lithification. His work carried out in the field of Biogeochemical cycle brings together such families of science as Microorganism, Arsenic, Geologic time scale and Trace metal.

Pieter T. Visscher interconnects Photosynthesis, Hypersaline lake and Dry lake in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry. His Geochemistry research integrates issues from Structural basin, Marl and Tectonics. In the field of Carbonate, his study on Evaporite, Tufa and Carbonate minerals overlaps with subjects such as Salt lake and Factory.
