Roger Francois mainly focuses on Oceanography, Sediment, Deep sea, Sediment trap and Diagenesis.
His work on North Atlantic Deep Water, Thermohaline circulation and Water column as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Nitrate, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Roger Francois works mostly in the field of North Atlantic Deep Water, limiting it down to topics relating to Ocean current and, in certain cases, Physical oceanography, Deglaciation and Climate change, as a part of the same area of interest.
His studies in Sediment integrate themes in fields like Sedimentary rock and Quaternary.
His work in Deep sea addresses issues such as Total organic carbon, which are connected to fields such as Dissolved organic carbon and Mineralogy.
His research investigates the connection between Sediment trap and topics such as Upwelling that intersect with problems in Isotopic signature, Bay, Structural basin and Biogeochemistry.
His most cited work include:
- Collapse and rapid resumption of Atlantic meridional circulation linked to deglacial climate changes (1393 citations)
- Sedimentary nitrogen isotopic ratio as a recorder for surface ocean nitrate utilization (584 citations)
- A review of the Si cycle in the modern ocean: recent progress and missing gaps in the application of biogenic opal as a paleoproductivity proxy (568 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Mineralogy, Sediment, Table and Sediment core.
His study ties his expertise on Glacial period together with the subject of Oceanography.
His research integrates issues of Holocene and Upwelling in his study of Glacial period.
His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Trace element and Plankton.
The Sediment study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary rock, Diagenesis, Seafloor spreading, Seawater and Environmental chemistry.
