Rate My Professor Malcolm Reid

Reid's research focuses on geochemistry, analytical chemistry, and ocean carbonate system measurements, supporting interdisciplinary applications in archaeology, paleodietary reconstruction, oceanography, and environmental monitoring. He supervises postgraduate students, including PhD candidates investigating biological and geochemical controls on marine trace metal isotopes. With 112 publications garnering 1,955 citations, his influential works include 'Comparison of digestion methods for ICP-MS determination of trace elements in fish tissues' (Ashoka et al., 2009), 'Bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr in European soils: A baseline for provenancing studies' (Hoogewerff et al., 2019), 'Interannual variability of carbon dioxide drawdown by subantarctic surface water near New Zealand' (Currie et al., 2011), 'Migration and mobility at the Late Lapita site of Reber–Rakival (SAC), Watom Island using isotope and trace element analysis' (Shaw et al., 2010), and 'Hair today, gone tomorrow: Analysing potential mercury exposure in 19th-century New Zealand' (Parker et al., 2023). Reid's expertise in contamination-free protocols and high-precision analytics has advanced trace element studies across natural waters, biological tissues, and sediments.
