Ni at al. recently published a comprehensive study in Scientometrics regarding scientific papers on sediment research in the period from 1992 to 2011. According to this study the University of Bremen and MARUM next to Utrecht University and Woods Hole Oceanographi Institution are the top single-site research institutions with respect to the number of sediment studies published.

The authors point out that both the Chinese and Russian Academy of Sciences and the US Geological Survey published more studies than the above mentioned institutions. However, the latter are all overarching institutions that have branches in many cities, and dividing the articles among the branches would yield different rankings. more
