What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Meteorology
Ira Leifer focuses on Methane, Oceanography, Bubble, Water column and Upwelling.
Her work on Atmospheric methane as part of general Methane research is often related to Hydrocarbon, thus linking different fields of science.
Her Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Structural basin, Atmosphere, Volume, Petroleum seep and Atmospheric sciences.
Her work deals with themes such as Mineralogy, Clathrate hydrate and Optics, which intersect with Bubble.
Her Water column research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Geochemistry, Mud volcano, Permafrost, Seafloor spreading and Fossil fuel.
The Upwelling study combines topics in areas such as Mixed layer and Greenhouse gas.
Her most cited work include:
- State of the art satellite and airborne marine oil spill remote sensing: Application to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill (281 citations)
- The bubble mechanism for methane transport from the shallow sea bed to the surface: A review and sensitivity study (222 citations)
- Ebullition and storm-induced methane release from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (191 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Methane, Bubble, Oceanography, Petroleum seep and Remote sensing.
Her Methane research is mostly focused on the topic Atmospheric methane.
Her Bubble research incorporates elements of Plume and Mineralogy.
Ira Leifer focuses mostly in the field of Oceanography, narrowing it down to topics relating to Atmosphere and, in certain cases, Seafloor spreading.
In her work, Hydrology is strongly intertwined with Fossil fuel, which is a subfield of Petroleum seep.
Her Remote sensing research includes elements of Airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer, Imaging spectrometer and Trace gas.
She most often published in these fields:
- Methane (35.98%)
- Bubble (23.78%)
- Oceanography (22.56%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Remote sensing (19.51%)
- Methane (35.98%)
- Atmospheric sciences (14.63%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of study are Remote sensing, Methane, Atmospheric sciences, Trace gas and Plume.
Her research integrates issues of In situ, Submarine pipeline and Imaging spectrometer in her study of Remote sensing.
Her work often combines Methane and Hydrocarbon studies.
Her Atmospheric sciences research integrates issues from Global change, Greenhouse gas and The arctic.
In her study, Petroleum seep is inextricably linked to Methane emissions, which falls within the broad field of Hydrology.
Oceanography is often connected to Bubble in her work.
Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Effects of climate change on methane emissions from seafloor sediments in the Arctic Ocean: A review (64 citations)
- Oil slick morphology derived from AVIRIS measurements of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: Implications for spatial resolution requirements of remote sensors (35 citations)
- Methane emissions from a Californian landfill, determined from airborne remote sensing and in situ measurements (23 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Meteorology
Ira Leifer mostly deals with Remote sensing, Methane, Plume, Hyperspectral imaging and Planetary boundary layer.
As part of the same scientific family, she usually focuses on Remote sensing, concentrating on Imaging spectrometer and intersecting with Fugitive emissions, Greenhouse gas and Remote sensing.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Earth's energy budget, Aerosol, Advection, Air pollution and Carbon dioxide in addition to Methane.
Her Plume study results in a more complete grasp of Meteorology.
Ira Leifer interconnects Dispersion, Seabed, Mineralogy and Echo sounding in the investigation of issues within Meteorology.
Her Bubble study incorporates themes from Marine engineering and Flow.
