Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

His main research concerns Oceanography, Paleontology, Foraminifera, Deep sea and Lysocline. His study in the field of Thermohaline circulation is also linked to topics like Environmental science. Wolfgang H Berger combines subjects such as Carbon dioxide and Isotopes of oxygen with his study of Paleontology.

Wolfgang H Berger has researched Foraminifera in several fields, including Bottom water and Plankton. His Deep sea research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Deglaciation, Holocene and Seabed. His Lysocline research includes themes of Sediment and Calcareous.

His most cited work include:

  • Historical overfishing and the recent collapse of coastal ecosystems. (4837 citations)
  • Diversity of Planktonic Foraminifera in Deep-Sea Sediments (652 citations)
  • Isotope paleontology: growth and composition of extant calcareous species (473 citations)

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

Wolfgang H Berger focuses on Oceanography, Paleontology, Foraminifera, Plankton and Deep sea. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Glacial period and Sediment. His Paleontology research incorporates themes from Plateau and Isotopes of oxygen.

His Foraminifera research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Isotopes of carbon, Calcite, Carbonate compensation depth, Environmental chemistry and Calcareous. He combines subjects such as Range, Mineralogy and Table with his study of Plankton. Wolfgang H Berger conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Deep sea and Dissolution through his research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (42.23%)
  • Paleontology (29.33%)
  • Foraminifera (21.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Oceanography (42.23%)
  • Mineralogy (10.26%)
  • Climatology (9.38%)

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

Oceanography, Mineralogy, Climatology, Paleontology and Table are his primary areas of study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Oceanic basin and Oceanography. His research integrates issues of Global warming, Climate change, Ice age and Atmospheric sciences in his study of Climatology.

His Paleomagnetism, Sedimentary rock and Milankovitch cycles study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Geodetic datum and Polar, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Table study deals with Plankton intersecting with Range. His study focuses on the intersection of Paleoceanography and fields such as Deep sea with connections in the field of Sea level.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Carbon Dioxide and Polar Cooling in the Miocene: The Monterey Hypothesis (283 citations)
  • Glacial‐Holocene Changes in Atmospheric CO2 and the Deep‐Sea Record (176 citations)
  • Mid‐Pleistocene Climate Shift ‐ The Nansen Connection (170 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Climatology, Ice age, Climate change and Paleontology. The Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Varve and Deposition. In the subject of general Climatology, his work in North Atlantic oscillation and North Atlantic Deep Water is often linked to Environmental science, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Ice age research focuses on Deglaciation and how it relates to Global warming. Stratigraphy is the focus of his Paleontology research. His Glacial period study incorporates themes from Physical geography and Ice sheet.
