Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Bacteria
  • Sedimentary rock

Woodward W. Fischer mainly investigates Geochemistry, Ecology, Paleontology, Carbonate and Photosynthesis. His study on Geochemistry is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Mineralogy. His work focuses on many connections between Ecology and other disciplines, such as Botany, that overlap with his field of interest in Comparative biology and Silicon dioxide.

In general Paleontology, his work in Ordovician, Pleistocene and Glacial period is often linked to Ice-sheet model linking many areas of study. His research integrates issues of Laurentia, Total organic carbon, Carbon cycle and Isotopes of carbon in his study of Carbonate. His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Melainabacteria, Evolution of photosynthesis and Great Oxygenation Event.

His most cited work include:

  • Paleophysiology and End-Permian Mass Extinction (489 citations)
  • Low Mid-Proterozoic atmospheric oxygen levels and the delayed rise of animals (419 citations)
  • The Magnitude and Duration of Late Ordovician–Early Silurian Glaciation (288 citations)

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

Geochemistry, Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Carbonate and Paleontology are his primary areas of study. Woodward W. Fischer interconnects Gale crater, Mineralogy and Sulfur in the investigation of issues within Geochemistry. His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics in areas such as Aeolian processes and Manganese.

Woodward W. Fischer combines subjects such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Sediment transport, Earth science and Weathering with his study of Sedimentary rock. His research in Carbonate focuses on subjects like Carbon cycle, which are connected to Total organic carbon. His study in Paleontology focuses on Ordovician and Glacial period.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (30.12%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (22.89%)
  • Sedimentary rock (19.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (30.12%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (22.89%)
  • Environmental chemistry (11.65%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mars Exploration Program, Environmental chemistry, Environmental science and Sedimentary rock. Woodward W. Fischer is interested in Diagenesis, which is a field of Geochemistry. His Mars Exploration Program study is concerned with Astrobiology in general.

His research on Environmental chemistry also deals with topics like

  • Sulfur together with Archean, Geologic record and Biogeochemical cycle,
  • Phototroph which connect with Chloroflexi and Microbial mat. The study incorporates disciplines such as Bedrock, Sulfur cycle and Hesperian in addition to Sedimentary rock. His Sulfate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sedimentary depositional environment and Pyrite.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of Phototrophy in the Chloroflexi Phylum Driven by Horizontal Gene Transfer. (61 citations)
  • Sulfur isotopes in rivers : insights into global weathering budgets, pyrite oxidation, and the modern sulfur cycle (46 citations)
  • Bacterial diversification through geological time. (42 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Mars Exploration Program, Sedimentary rock, Diagenesis and Carbonate. His work deals with themes such as Bedrock and Silicate, which intersect with Geochemistry. His Mars Exploration Program research is within the category of Astrobiology.

His Sedimentary rock study also includes fields such as

  • Sulfur cycle and related Pyrite,
  • Weathering, which have a strong connection to Authigenic, Clay minerals and Precambrian. His work carried out in the field of Diagenesis brings together such families of science as Paleozoic, Calcite, Isotope analysis, Gale crater and Banded iron formation. His Carbonate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Isotopes of oxygen, Sediment transport, Carbon cycle and Biogeochemical cycle.
