- Bacteria as nucleation sites for authigenic minerals in a metal-contaminated lake sediment (235 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Clay minerals and Crust.
His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Carbonate and Hydrothermal circulation.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary rock and Analytical chemistry in addition to Mineralogy.
His study on Environmental chemistry also encompasses disciplines like
- Algae which is related to area like Microorganism and Metal,
- Wetland and Soil water most often made with reference to Peat.
His research investigates the connection between Clay minerals and topics such as Kaolinite that intersect with issues in Illite and Quartz.
As part of the same scientific family, William S. Fyfe usually focuses on Crust, concentrating on Subduction and intersecting with Lithosphere, Petrology and Earth science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (36.31%)
- Mineralogy (29.61%)
- Environmental chemistry (13.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2017)?
- Geochemistry (36.31%)
- Carbonate (5.59%)
- Environmental chemistry (13.97%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Carbonate, Environmental chemistry, Calcite and Mineralogy are his primary areas of study.
Metamorphic rock, Ultramafic rock, Basalt, Clay minerals and Olivine are the core of his Geochemistry study.
William S. Fyfe works mostly in the field of Ultramafic rock, limiting it down to topics relating to Amphibole and, in certain cases, Continental crust and Mantle.
His research investigates the connection with Carbonate and areas like Mineral which intersect with concerns in Greenstone belt, Igneous rock, Pyroclastic rock and Isotopes of oxygen.
His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Peat, Bog, Soil water, Acetate fermentation and Wetland.
A large part of his Mineralogy studies is devoted to Pyrrhotite.
Between 1998 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Cenozoic episodic volcanism and continental rifting in northeast China and possible link to Japan Sea development as revealed from K Ar geochronology (155 citations)
- Evolution of stable carbon isotope compositions for methane and carbon dioxide in freshwater wetlands and other anaerobic environments (126 citations)
- Geomicrobiology of carbonate–silicate microbialites from Hawaiian basaltic sea caves (78 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
William S. Fyfe mostly deals with Organic matter, Geochemistry, Calcite, Environmental chemistry and Aragonite.
William S. Fyfe has included themes like Carbonate, Hydromagnesite and Mineralogy in his Geochemistry study.
William S. Fyfe has researched Hydromagnesite in several fields, including Calcium carbonate, Microbial mat and Silicate.
His research integrates issues of Peat, Bog, Acetate fermentation and Wetland in his study of Environmental chemistry.
The concepts of his Acetate fermentation study are interwoven with issues in Sulfate, Carbon cycle and Isotopes of carbon.
His Wetland research integrates issues from Soil organic matter and Soil water.
