Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

S. Krishnaswami focuses on Weathering, Geochemistry, Tributary, Drainage basin and Hydrology. His Weathering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sedimentary rock, Isotope, Abyssal plain and Oceanography, Pelagic zone. S. Krishnaswami interconnects Seawater, Abyssal zone, Isotopes of strontium and Uranium in the investigation of issues within Geochemistry.

The Tributary study combines topics in areas such as Estuary, Radium, Isotopes of uranium and Physical geography. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Drainage basin, Feldspar, Basalt, Deccan Traps and Monsoon is strongly linked to Structural basin. His work focuses on many connections between Hydrology and other disciplines, such as Sediment, that overlap with his field of interest in Isotopes of thorium.

His most cited work include:

  • Major ion chemistry of the Ganga-Brahmaputra river system: Weathering processes and fluxes to the Bay of Bengal (502 citations)
  • Major ion chemistry in the headwaters of the Yamuna river system:. Chemical weathering, its temperature dependence and CO 2 consumption in the Himalaya (239 citations)
  • Radium, thorium and radioactive lead isotopes in groundwaters: application to the in situ determination of adsorption-desorption rate constants and retardation factors (233 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Weathering, Mineralogy, Oceanography and Hydrology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Deccan Traps and Strontium in addition to Geochemistry. His research integrates issues of Carbonate rock, Tributary, Denudation, Precambrian and Erosion in his study of Weathering.

His Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Uranium, Sedimentary rock, Sediment and Nuclide. The Seawater, Mixed layer and Pelagic zone research he does as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Photic zone, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study in Hydrology focuses on Drainage basin in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (29.67%)
  • Weathering (29.67%)
  • Mineralogy (27.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2012)?

  • Weathering (29.67%)
  • Geochemistry (29.67%)
  • Hydrology (19.78%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Weathering, Geochemistry, Hydrology, Tributary and Drainage basin. His Weathering research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Precambrian and Erosion. His work on Basalt and Radiogenic nuclide as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently linked to Alkalinity, bridging the gap between disciplines.

In Hydrology, S. Krishnaswami works on issues like Monsoon, which are connected to Uranium. His research investigates the link between Tributary and topics such as Structural basin that cross with problems in Water pollution and Isotopes of strontium. The various areas that S. Krishnaswami examines in his Drainage basin study include Cenozoic, Feldspar and Earth science.

Between 2001 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Major ion chemistry in the headwaters of the Yamuna river system:. Chemical weathering, its temperature dependence and CO 2 consumption in the Himalaya (239 citations)
  • Chemical weathering in the Krishna Basin and Western Ghats of the Deccan Traps, India : Rates of basalt weathering and their controls (143 citations)
  • GEOTRACES – An international study of the global marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes (137 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Paleontology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Weathering, Tributary, Drainage basin, Structural basin and Hydrology. His Weathering study is concerned with the field of Geochemistry as a whole. His Geochemistry research integrates issues from Feldspar and Deccan Traps.

His studies deal with areas such as Carbonate rock, Dissolved organic carbon and Basalt as well as Deccan Traps. The Structural basin study combines topics in areas such as Precambrian, Total organic carbon and Oil shale. His work investigates the relationship between Hydrology and topics such as Monsoon that intersect with problems in Altitude and Stable isotope ratio.
