His Cretaceous research is classified as research in Paleontology.
His study looks at the intersection of Organic matter and topics like Environmental chemistry with Epilimnion, Hypolimnion and Carbon cycle.
His most cited work include:
- Determination of carbonate and organic matter in calcareous sediments and sedimentary rocks by loss on ignition; comparison with other methods (2255 citations)
- Geochemical and climatic effects of increased marine organic carbon burial at the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary (485 citations)
- Magnitude and significance of carbon burial in lakes, reservoirs, and peatlands (387 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Walter E. Dean mostly deals with Oceanography, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Holocene and Total organic carbon.
His Oceanography study incorporates themes from Glacial period, Sediment and Structural basin.
His Geochemistry study typically links adjacent topics like Mineralogy.
In his study, Clastic rock and Radiocarbon dating is strongly linked to Varve, which falls under the umbrella field of Holocene.
Walter E. Dean has researched Total organic carbon in several fields, including Organic matter, Anoxic waters, Water column and Plankton.
His research in Organic matter intersects with topics in Environmental chemistry, Oil shale and Oxygen minimum zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (41.83%)
- Geochemistry (24.18%)
- Paleontology (22.88%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2017)?
- Oceanography (41.83%)
- Holocene (20.92%)
- Structural basin (10.46%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Holocene, Structural basin, Geochemistry and Calcite.
His studies deal with areas such as Sediment, Total organic carbon, Pleistocene and Cretaceous as well as Oceanography.
His Holocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glacial period, Paleoclimatology, Vegetation and Wetland.
His Structural basin study results in a more complete grasp of Paleontology.
His research in the fields of Sedimentary rock and Isotopic composition overlaps with other disciplines such as Vegetation.
His Sedimentary rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Facies, Water column, Petrology and Geomorphology.
Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Variations in the global carbon cycle during the Cretaceous related to climate, volcanism, and changes in atmospheric CO2. (271 citations)
- Paleoceanography of the Gulf of Alaska during the past 15,000 years: Results from diatoms, silicoflagellates, and geochemistry (63 citations)
- Late Cretaceous climate changes recorded in Eastern Asian lacustrine deposits and North American Epieric sea strata (63 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sedimentary rock
- Oceanography
- Paleontology
His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Holocene, Glacial period, Younger Dryas and Cretaceous.
His Oceanography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Hypolimnion and Total organic carbon.
His Total organic carbon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organic matter, Continental shelf and Coastal plain.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Varve, National park and Diatom in addition to Holocene.
He has included themes like Carbonate minerals, Pleistocene and Evaporite in his Glacial period study.
His studies examine the connections between Cretaceous and genetics, as well as such issues in Global warming, with regards to Structural basin and Paleontology.
