Ian Willis spends much of his time researching Glacier, Geomorphology, Meltwater, Drainage system and Snow.
His studies in Glacier integrate themes in fields like Glacier morphology, Digital elevation model and Geodesy.
His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Horizontal and vertical and Glacier ice accumulation.
The Meltwater study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Glacier terminus, Accumulation zone and Subglacial stream.
His Drainage system study deals with the bigger picture of Drainage.
His Snow study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Albedo and Atmospheric sciences.
His most cited work include:
- Seasonal changes in the morphology of the subglacial drainage system, Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland (226 citations)
- Geochemical weathering at the bed of Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland - a new model (197 citations)
- Borehole water-level variations and the structure of the subglacial hydrological system of Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Valais, Switzerland (194 citations)
