Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Ecology, Environmental chemistry, Microbial population biology, Bacterioplankton and Sediment. He interconnects Atmosphere and Chlorophyll a in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Hydrology and Enhanced weathering, which intersect with Environmental chemistry.

His Hydrology research includes elements of Dissolved organic carbon and Altitude. The Microbial population biology study which covers Pelagic zone that intersects with Biomass and In situ. The various areas that Roland Psenner examines in his Sediment study include Groundwater, Acid deposition and Nutrient content.

His most cited work include:

  • Determination of Bacterial Cell Dry Mass by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Densitometric Image Analysis (295 citations)
  • Bacterial growth in supercooled cloud droplets (281 citations)
  • An in situ hybridization protocol for detection and identification of planktonic bacteria (273 citations)

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

Roland Psenner spends much of his time researching Ecology, Hydrology, Physical geography, Ecosystem and Phytoplankton. His study focuses on the intersection of Hydrology and fields such as Environmental chemistry with connections in the field of Altitude. His study looks at the intersection of Physical geography and topics like Climate change with Atmospheric sciences.

His research in Phytoplankton intersects with topics in Water column and Botany, Chlorophyll a. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ciliate and Heterotroph in addition to Botany. His research in Bacterioplankton intersects with topics in Abundance and Microbial population biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.56%)
  • Hydrology (16.78%)
  • Physical geography (12.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ecology (40.56%)
  • Climate change (9.79%)
  • Cryoconite (4.20%)

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

Roland Psenner focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Cryoconite, Biodiversity and Zooplankton. His Ecology research focuses on Lake ecosystem, Nutrient, Algae, Freshwater ecosystem and Biomass. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Climate change, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ecosystem, and often Earth science, Ecology, Environmental change, Global change and Oceanography.

His study looks at the relationship between Cryoconite and fields such as Meltwater, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Zooplankton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pelagic zone, Competition, Crustacean and Plankton. His Frost weathering research includes themes of Hydrology and Physical geography.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Global change revealed by palaeolimnological records from remote lakes : a review (122 citations)
  • Assessment of climate change effects on mountain ecosystems through a cross-site analysis in the Alps and Apennines. (62 citations)
  • Large cryoconite aggregates on a Svalbard glacier support a diverse microbial community including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ecosystem, Rock glacier, Hydrology and Permafrost. Roland Psenner has included themes like Glacier, Meltwater and Microbial population biology in his Ecology study. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxon and Climate change.

His Climate change research integrates issues from Biomass, Abundance, Mountain research and Freshwater ecosystem. His studies in Rock glacier integrate themes in fields like Watershed, Drainage basin, Sediment, Biota and Water cycle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glacial period, Frost weathering, Cryosphere, Physical geography and Paleolimnology.
