Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Oceanography
Basalt
Volcano

Wafa Abouchami focuses on Mineralogy, Trace element, Plume, Geochemistry and Radiogenic nuclide. In her research on the topic of Trace element, Microanalysis, Electron microprobe and Isotope dilution is strongly related with In situ. As part of the same scientific family, Wafa Abouchami usually focuses on Plume, concentrating on Volcano and intersecting with Petrology.

Her work on Archean as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently linked to Birimian and Terrane, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work in Archean covers topics such as Metamorphism which are related to areas like Crust. Her research links Oceanography with Radiogenic nuclide.

Her most cited work include:

MPI-DING reference glasses for in situ microanalysis: New reference values for element concentrations and isotope ratios (743 citations)
A major 2.1 Ga event of mafic magmatism in west Africa: An Early stage of crustal accretion (408 citations)
Crustal growth in West Africa at 2.1 Ga (405 citations)

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

Wafa Abouchami spends much of her time researching Oceanography, Geochemistry, Radiogenic nuclide, Mineralogy and Volcano. Her Oceanography study which covers Glacial period that intersects with Holocene. Her study in Basalt, Mantle, Trace element, Crust and Seamount is carried out as part of her studies in Geochemistry.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Structural basin, Oceanic basin, Provenance, Mineral dust and Seawater in addition to Radiogenic nuclide. She studied Mineralogy and In situ that intersect with Isotope analysis and Analytical chemistry. The Volcano study combines topics in areas such as Plume and Shield.

She most often published in these fields:

Oceanography (51.85%)
Geochemistry (35.80%)
Radiogenic nuclide (22.22%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2018)?

Oceanography (51.85%)
Thermohaline circulation (16.05%)
Sediment core (4.94%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Thermohaline circulation, Sediment core, Glacial period and Holocene. Her Oceanography research integrates issues from Saharan Air Layer, Mineral dust and Provenance. Her Thermohaline circulation research incorporates elements of Water mass, Climate model and Water cycle.

Her Sediment core research includes elements of Geochemistry, Benthic zone and Mineralogy. She frequently studies issues relating to Radiogenic nuclide and Mineralogy. Her Glacial period study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bottom water, North Atlantic Deep Water, Foraminifera and Gulf Stream.

Between 2014 and 2018, her most popular works were:

The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (138 citations)
The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2014 (109 citations)
Deep circulation changes in the central South Atlantic during the past 145 kyrs reflected in a combined231Pa/230Th, Neodymium isotope and benthic δ13C record (29 citations)
