Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Ecology, Oceanography, Arctic, Physical geography and Climate change are his primary areas of study. Reinhard Pienitz works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to concerns involving Sea ice and, occasionally, Snowball Earth and Meltwater. Reinhard Pienitz has included themes like Hydrology, Environmental change and Paleolimnology in his Arctic study.

His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Surface water, Holocene, Canonical correspondence analysis, Global change and Limnology. His work deals with themes such as Arctic ice pack, Arctic dipole anomaly and Ecosystem, which intersect with Climate change. His research integrates issues of Diatom, Boreal, Global warming and Vegetation in his study of Tundra.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate-driven regime shifts in the biological communities of arctic lakes (746 citations)
  • Rapid response of treeline vegetation and lakes to past climate warming (279 citations)
  • Assessment of freshwater diatoms as quantitative indicators of past climatic change in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada (222 citations)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Ecology, Arctic, Diatom and Subarctic climate. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Structural basin and Sediment. His Arctic study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Environmental change and Ice sheet.

In his study, Forestry and Drainage basin is strongly linked to Limnology, which falls under the umbrella field of Diatom. The Subarctic climate study combines topics in areas such as Bay, Permafrost, Thermokarst, Hydrology and Sedimentology. Reinhard Pienitz focuses mostly in the field of Holocene, narrowing it down to matters related to Physical geography and, in some cases, Surface water.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (41.07%)
  • Ecology (31.55%)
  • Arctic (31.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Oceanography (41.07%)
  • Holocene (22.62%)
  • Arctic (31.55%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Holocene, Arctic, Subarctic climate and Ecology. The concepts of his Oceanography study are interwoven with issues in Structural basin and Table. His work carried out in the field of Holocene brings together such families of science as Glacier, Physical geography, Proxy and Paleoclimatology.

Reinhard Pienitz combines subjects such as Climate change, Paleolimnology and Environmental impact assessment with his study of Physical geography. His Arctic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biodiversity, Endangered species, Permafrost, Meltwater and Ice sheet. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sediment, Sediment core, Thermokarst and Aquatic ecosystem in addition to Subarctic climate.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Publisher Correction: A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (42 citations)
  • A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (32 citations)
  • Paleolimnology of thermokarst lakes: a window into permafrost landscape evolution (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

Reinhard Pienitz mainly investigates Holocene, Thermokarst, Permafrost, Arctic and Subarctic climate. His Holocene research includes elements of Cartography, Data descriptor and Paleoclimatology. Thermokarst is a subfield of Ecology that Reinhard Pienitz explores.

Reinhard Pienitz combines subjects such as Habitat, Biogeochemical cycle, Hydrology, Window and Paleolimnology with his study of Permafrost. His Arctic study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Oceanography. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Remote sensing, Climate change and Lake water.
