What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Paleontology, Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Ecology.
Richard D. Pancost has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Sedimentary rock, Glacial period and Isotopes of carbon.
His research on Paleontology often connects related topics like Sea surface temperature.
His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Sediment, Mineralogy, Anaerobic oxidation of methane, Methane and Carbon.
His Anaerobic oxidation of methane research includes elements of Archaea and Cold seep.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Organic matter, Anoxic waters is strongly linked to Total organic carbon.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (24.14%)
- Paleontology (20.95%)
- Environmental chemistry (18.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Paleontology (20.95%)
- Oceanography (24.14%)
- Geochemistry (10.34%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Paleontology, Oceanography, Geochemistry, Peat and Environmental chemistry are his primary areas of study.
His work on Cretaceous, Sedimentary depositional environment and Biostratigraphy as part of general Paleontology research is often related to Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary and Term, thus linking different fields of science.
His studies in Oceanography integrate themes in fields like Subtropics and Glacial period.
His work in Geochemistry addresses subjects such as Aptian, which are connected to disciplines such as Sediment.
His study on Environmental chemistry also encompasses disciplines like
- Soil water, which have a strong connection to Hydrology,
- Archaeol and Terrigenous sediment most often made with reference to Organic matter.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Foraminifera and Isotopes of carbon in addition to Alkenone.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Cretaceous sea-surface temperature evolution: Constraints from TEX86 and planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes (152 citations)
- Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids (84 citations)
- Carbon sequestration in an expanded lake system during the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (71 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Carbon dioxide
- Paleontology
His scientific interests lie mostly in Peat, Paleontology, Paleogene, Environmental chemistry and Biogeochemical cycle.
The concepts of his Peat study are interwoven with issues in Diagenesis, Atmospheric sciences, Holocene and Biogeochemistry.
His work in Cretaceous, Cenozoic and Sedimentary depositional environment are all subfields of Paleontology research.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Soil water, Organic matter, Hopanoids and Abundance.
In his study, Climatology and Tropics is inextricably linked to Global warming, which falls within the broad field of Biogeochemical cycle.
In his study, Oceanography is strongly linked to Carbon sequestration, which falls under the umbrella field of Total organic carbon.
