Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Geophysics
  • Geometry

His main research concerns Geothermal gradient, Geophysics, Lithosphere, Borehole and Paleoclimatology. His Geothermal gradient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Petrology and Radiogenic nuclide. His study in Geophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermal conduction, Spatial distribution and Tectonics, Plate tectonics.

Henry N. Pollack does research in Lithosphere, focusing on Earth's internal heat budget specifically. His research in Borehole focuses on subjects like Physical geography, which are connected to Meteorology, Period, Natural variability, Global warming and Climatic variability. His Paleoclimatology study incorporates themes from Climatology and Global change.

His most cited work include:

  • Heat flow from the Earth's interior: Analysis of the global data set (1130 citations)
  • On the regional variation of heat flow, geotherms, and lithospheric thickness☆ (859 citations)
  • Temperature trends over the past five centuries reconstructed from borehole temperatures (406 citations)

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

His main research concerns Borehole, Geophysics, Lithosphere, Geothermal gradient and Climatology. His Borehole study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Global warming, Inversion, Atmospheric sciences and Paleoclimatology. His work carried out in the field of Geophysics brings together such families of science as Earth's internal heat budget, Thermal, Seabed and Plate tectonics.

In Lithosphere, Henry N. Pollack works on issues like Craton, which are connected to Archean and Geochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Structural basin, Thermal conductivity, Tectonics, Radiogenic nuclide and Heat flux in addition to Geothermal gradient. His study looks at the relationship between Climatology and fields such as Climate change, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Borehole (24.75%)
  • Geophysics (21.78%)
  • Lithosphere (21.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2016)?

  • Borehole (24.75%)
  • Climatology (14.85%)
  • Paleoclimatology (10.89%)

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

Borehole, Climatology, Paleoclimatology, Climate change and Environmental science are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Northern Hemisphere, Quaternary and Mineralogy, which intersect with Borehole. His studies deal with areas such as Geothermal gradient and Einstein as well as Climatology.

His Geothermal gradient research includes themes of Global warming, Period and Pseudoproxy. His research investigates the connection with Paleoclimatology and areas like Global change which intersect with concerns in Earth system science, Hydrosphere, Bolide, Plate tectonics and Milankovitch cycles. He combines subjects such as Greenhouse gas and The arctic with his study of Climate change.

Between 2002 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Detection of Human Influence on a New, Validated 1500-Year Temperature Reconstruction (214 citations)
  • Borehole climate reconstructions: Spatial structure and hemispheric averages (128 citations)
  • Air‐ground temperature coupling and subsurface propagation of annual temperature signals (85 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

Henry N. Pollack spends much of his time researching Atmospheric temperature, Borehole, Paleoclimatology, Atmosphere and Environmental science. In most of his Borehole studies, his work intersects topics such as Geothermal gradient. His research in Paleoclimatology tackles topics such as Global change which are related to areas like Climatology, Northern Hemisphere, Spatial correlation and Grid.

The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Cenozoic, Climate change, Quaternary, Holocene and Heat flux. Henry N. Pollack focuses mostly in the field of Atmosphere, narrowing it down to topics relating to Atmospheric sciences and, in certain cases, Evapotranspiration, Hydrology and Linear regression. His Meteorology research incorporates elements of Thermal diffusivity and Hydrology.
