What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Astronomy
- Geophysics
- Statistics
His main research concerns Geodesy, Earth's rotation, Gravitational field, Angular momentum and Polar motion. He interconnects Amplitude and Satellite in the investigation of issues within Geodesy. He combines subjects such as Seismic wave, Meteorology, Interplate earthquake and Rotation with his study of Earth's rotation.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Gravitation, Surface gravity and Seasonality in addition to Gravitational field. His study in Angular momentum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Monte Carlo method, Geophysics and Speed wobble. His studies in Polar motion integrate themes in fields like Geodetic datum, Displacement field, Magnitude, Focal mechanism and Seismology.
His most cited work include:
- Impact of Artificial Reservoir Water Impoundment on Global Sea Level (286 citations)
- Detection of a large-scale mass redistribution in the terrestrial system since 1998. (187 citations)
- Past and future contribution of global groundwater depletion to sea-level rise (183 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Benjamin F. Chao mainly investigates Geodesy, Geophysics, Polar motion, Gravitational field and Earth's rotation. His Geodesy research incorporates themes from Amplitude, Satellite and Mantle. His research integrates issues of Gravitation and Atmosphere in his study of Geophysics.
His Polar motion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geodynamics, Climatology, Mechanics and Speed wobble. His Gravitational field research focuses on Climate change and how it relates to Glacier. The concepts of his Earth's rotation study are interwoven with issues in Moment of inertia, Angular momentum, Rotation, Seismology and Earth system science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geodesy (44.44%)
- Geophysics (31.22%)
- Polar motion (22.75%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Geophysics (31.22%)
- Geodesy (44.44%)
- Polar motion (22.75%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Benjamin F. Chao focuses on Geophysics, Geodesy, Polar motion, Inner core and Mantle. His study on Core–mantle boundary is often connected to Strainmeter as part of broader study in Geophysics. Altimeter is the focus of his Geodesy research.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Polar motion, concentrating on Outer core and intersecting with Angular momentum. He works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to topics relating to Displacement field and, in certain cases, Attenuation, Atomic physics, Love number and Rotation around a fixed axis. His Amplitude research integrates issues from Libration, Anomaly, Gravitational field and Moment of inertia.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Recent Changes in Land Water Storage and its Contribution to Sea Level Variations. (35 citations)
- A 6-year westward rotary motion in the Earth: Detection and possible MICG coupling mechanism (23 citations)
- Dynamics of axial torsional libration under the mantle‐inner core gravitational interaction (17 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Astronomy
- Geophysics
- Statistics
Geodesy, Inner core, Outer core, Computational physics and Geophysics are his primary areas of study. His Geodesy research integrates issues from Satellite data, Empirical orthogonal functions, Large earthquakes, Amplitude and Gravity.
