Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Dissolved organic carbon, Estuary and Bacterioplankton. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Environmental chemistry, Substrate is strongly linked to Plankton. His research investigates the connection between Bacteria and topics such as Ecology that intersect with problems in Surface water and Sediment.

His Dissolved organic carbon study incorporates themes from Brackish water and Detritus. His Estuary study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Oceanography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Trophic level, Diel vertical migration, Microorganism and DNA damage.

His most cited work include:

  • Complex gas hydrate from the Cascadia margin (192 citations)
  • Diel and depth profiles of DNA photodamage in bacterioplankton exposed to ambient solar ultraviolet radiation (157 citations)
  • Bacterial uptake of dissolved free and combined amino acids in estuarine waters (149 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Methane, Oceanography, Clathrate hydrate and Sediment. His research in Environmental chemistry is mostly concerned with Dissolved organic carbon. Richard B. Coffin has researched Methane in several fields, including Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Methane chimney and Isotopes of carbon.

His work on Estuary and Continental shelf as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Cycling, Distribution and Coring, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Richard B. Coffin interconnects Accretionary wedge, Canyon, Petrology and Natural gas in the investigation of issues within Clathrate hydrate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Heterotroph, Bacteria and Nitrogen cycle in addition to Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (29.57%)
  • Methane (27.83%)
  • Oceanography (26.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Methane (27.83%)
  • Oceanography (26.96%)
  • Sediment (20.00%)

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

Richard B. Coffin mainly focuses on Methane, Oceanography, Sediment, Environmental chemistry and Anaerobic oxidation of methane. His Methane research integrates issues from Isotopes of carbon, Peninsula, Methane chimney, Clathrate hydrate and Carbon cycle. The Dissolved organic carbon and Anomaly research he does as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Flux and Biogeosciences, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Dissolved organic carbon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Estuary, Authigenic, Phytodetritus and Ecosystem. His Sediment research incorporates elements of Ecology, Benthic zone, Pelagic zone and Total organic carbon. His Environmental chemistry study deals with Surface water intersecting with Biomass, Bay, Salinity and Sewage.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Ocean currents shape the microbiome of Arctic marine sediments. (102 citations)
  • Sulfate reduction and methane oxidation activity below the sulfate-methane transition zone in Alaskan Beaufort Sea continental margin sediments: Implications for deep sulfur cycling (70 citations)
  • Optical Proxies for Terrestrial Dissolved Organic Matter in Estuaries and Coastal Waters (61 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oceanography

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sediment, Methane, Oceanography, Ecology and Anaerobic oxidation of methane. His work on Chesapeake bay as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to Flux, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Surface water and Mineralization.

Richard B. Coffin combines subjects such as Environmental chemistry, Sulfur cycle and Mineralogy with his study of Anaerobic oxidation of methane. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Sedimentary rock, Cold seep and Methane chimney. His work deals with themes such as Hydrology, Dissolved organic carbon and Colored dissolved organic matter, which intersect with Estuary.
