Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of investigation include Ice sheet, Sea ice, Arctic ice pack, Glacier and Meteorology. His work carried out in the field of Ice sheet brings together such families of science as Remote sensing, Ice stream and Physical geography. His work is dedicated to discovering how Sea ice, Ice cloud are connected with Cryosphere and Drift ice and other disciplines.

Arctic ice pack is often connected to Snow in his work. Glacier and Geodesy are frequently intertwined in his study. His Meteorology research integrates issues from Climate change and Glacier mass balance.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars (1068 citations)
  • A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance (1013 citations)
  • Surface melt-induced acceleration of Greenland ice-sheet flow (839 citations)

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

H. Jay Zwally mainly investigates Ice sheet, Sea ice, Climatology, Remote sensing and Geodesy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Firn, Ice shelf, Ice stream and Atmospheric sciences in addition to Ice sheet. His work in Ice shelf addresses subjects such as Glacier, which are connected to disciplines such as Post-glacial rebound.

The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Snow and Global warming, Climate change. H. Jay Zwally has included themes like Meteorology and Future sea level in his Climate change study. In the subject of general Geodesy, his work in Altimeter, Radar altimeter and Satellite radar altimetry is often linked to Gravimetry, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ice sheet (48.62%)
  • Sea ice (32.11%)
  • Climatology (30.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Ice sheet (48.62%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (23.85%)
  • Antarctic ice sheet (15.60%)

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

H. Jay Zwally mainly focuses on Ice sheet, Atmospheric sciences, Antarctic ice sheet, Climatology and Sea ice. His Ice sheet study combines topics in areas such as Firn, Ice stream and Glacier mass balance. His study looks at the relationship between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Ice shelf, which overlap with Laser altimetry.

His Climatology research includes themes of Snow and Global warming. H. Jay Zwally combines subjects such as Glacier, Altimeter and Sea level with his study of Snow. His Meteorology research includes elements of Ocean surface topography and Geodesy.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance (1013 citations)
  • Variability of Antarctic Sea Ice 1979-1998 (263 citations)
  • Ice-sheet mass balance and climate change (203 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Glacier
  • Meteorology

H. Jay Zwally focuses on Ice sheet, Climatology, Sea ice, Snow and Climate change. His Ice sheet research incorporates themes from Glacier, Ice stream and Antarctic ice sheet. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Post-glacial rebound and Geodesy.

As part of one scientific family, H. Jay Zwally deals mainly with the area of Climatology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Global warming, and often Precipitation. His study in Climate change is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glacier mass balance, Meteorology and East antarctica. When carried out as part of a general Arctic ice pack research project, his work on Ice pack, Sea ice concentration and Arctic sea ice decline is frequently linked to work in Freeboard, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
