What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Glacier
- Geometry
- Statistics
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ice sheet, Glacier, Ice stream, Physical geography and Greenland ice sheet.
In his research, Ice shelf and Subglacial lake is intimately related to Antarctic ice sheet, which falls under the overarching field of Ice sheet.
His Glacier research incorporates elements of Groenlandia, Geodesy, Synthetic aperture radar, Forcing and Surge.
His research integrates issues of Arctic ice pack, Antarctic sea ice and Geomorphology in his study of Ice stream.
His Physical geography research focuses on subjects like Meteorology, which are linked to Atmospheric sciences, Slowdown and Post-glacial rebound.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glacier morphology, Supraglacial lake and Glacier ice accumulation.
His most cited work include:
- Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (1727 citations)
- A reconciled estimate of ice-sheet mass balance (1013 citations)
- Marine Ice Sheet Collapse Potentially Under Way for the Thwaites Glacier Basin, West Antarctica (482 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Glacier, Ice sheet, Ice stream, Geomorphology and Ice shelf.
His Glacier research integrates issues from Climatology and Geodesy.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ice sheet, Glacier ice accumulation is strongly linked to Glacier morphology.
Ian Joughin has included themes like Arctic ice pack, Antarctic sea ice and Antarctic ice sheet in his Ice stream study.
Ian Joughin combines subjects such as Hydrology, STREAMS and Tributary with his study of Geomorphology.
His research in Ice shelf intersects with topics in Iceberg and Ice core.
He most often published in these fields:
- Glacier (42.35%)
- Ice sheet (43.92%)
- Ice stream (41.57%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Glacier (42.35%)
- Ice sheet (43.92%)
- Climatology (20.39%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Ice sheet, Climatology, Ice shelf and Geomorphology.
Ian Joughin has researched Glacier in several fields, including Cryosphere, Altimeter and Sea level.
The various areas that he examines in his Ice sheet study include Meltwater, Ice stream and Remote sensing.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flow and Flow velocity.
His work in the fields of Ice shelf, such as Ice divide, overlaps with other areas such as Terrain.
His work on Firn as part of general Geomorphology study is frequently connected to Water flow, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from 1992 to 2017. (324 citations)
- An automated, open-source pipeline for mass production of digital elevation models (DEMs) from very-high-resolution commercial stereo satellite imagery (257 citations)
- Seasonal to multiyear variability of glacier surface velocity, terminus position, and sea ice/ice mélange in northwest Greenland (82 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Geometry
- Glacier
- Statistics
Ian Joughin mainly investigates Glacier, Ice sheet, Ice stream, Climatology and Geomorphology.
In his works, Ian Joughin undertakes multidisciplinary study on Glacier and Thinning.
His Ice sheet research includes elements of Ice dynamics, Fast ice, Synthetic aperture radar and Geodesy.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ice stream, focusing on Greenland ice sheet and, on occasion, Supraglacial lake, Arctic ice pack and Ice-sheet model.
His work on Ice shelf and Ice tongue as part of general Climatology study is frequently linked to Regional differences and High strain, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Geomorphology study incorporates themes from Subglacial lake and Drainage.
