What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Foraminifera, Upwelling, Sediment and Sediment trap.
He combines subjects such as Glacial period and Total organic carbon with his study of Oceanography.
His study on Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Hastigerina pelagica is often connected to Dissolution and Comparison study as part of broader study in Foraminifera.
His study in Upwelling is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seasonality, Hydrography, δ18O and Globigerinoides.
His Sediment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Structural basin, Isotopes of nitrogen, Sedimentary rock, Biogeochemical cycle and Annual cycle.
As part of the same scientific family, Robert C. Thunell usually focuses on Sediment trap, concentrating on Coccolith and intersecting with Bloom, Emiliania huxleyi and Coccolithophore.
His most cited work include:
- Super ENSO and Global Climate Oscillations at Millennial Time Scales (495 citations)
- Decline of surface temperature and salinity in the western tropical Pacific Ocean in the Holocene epoch (351 citations)
- The nitrogen isotope biogeochemistry of sinking particles from the margin of the Eastern North Pacific (348 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Oceanography, Foraminifera, Structural basin, Environmental science and Upwelling are his primary areas of study.
Robert C. Thunell has researched Oceanography in several fields, including Glacial period and Sediment.
His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mediterranean climate and Holocene.
His research integrates issues of Paleontology and Paleoclimatology in his study of Foraminifera.
The concepts of his Upwelling study are interwoven with issues in Phytoplankton, Coccolithophore, Thermocline, Sea surface temperature and Biogenic silica.
His work deals with themes such as Environmental chemistry and Anoxic waters, which intersect with Water column.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (74.36%)
- Foraminifera (25.07%)
- Structural basin (17.95%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert C. Thunell spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Environmental science, Foraminifera, Environmental chemistry and Structural basin.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Glacial period and Oceanography.
His research in Foraminifera intersects with topics in Geochemistry, Isotopes of carbon and Plankton.
His Environmental chemistry study also includes fields such as
- Diagenesis that intertwine with fields like Isotopes of nitrogen and Isotopic composition,
- Denitrification and related Total organic carbon and Forcing.
His work carried out in the field of Structural basin brings together such families of science as Trace element, Flood myth and Series.
His studies examine the connections between Upwelling and genetics, as well as such issues in Sediment trap, with regards to Phytoplankton and Dinoflagellate.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Rapid organic matter sulfurization in sinking particles from the Cariaco Basin water column (41 citations)
- Glacial expansion of oxygen-depleted seawater in the eastern tropical Pacific (30 citations)
- Synchronous deglacial thermocline and deep-water ventilation in the eastern equatorial Pacific (21 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Carbon dioxide
Robert C. Thunell mostly deals with Oceanography, Environmental science, Foraminifera, Upwelling and Structural basin.
His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Denitrification and Glacial period.
His studies deal with areas such as Geochemistry, Paleoceanography and Ocean acidification as well as Foraminifera.
His Structural basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trace element and Carbonate Ion.
In his study, Water column is strongly linked to Globigerinoides, which falls under the umbrella field of Globigerina bulloides.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phytoplankton and Dinoflagellate.
