Overview

Jakob Heyman is affiliated with the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and has contributed to research primarily in the fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their body of work focuses on topics related to geology and paleoclimatology, landslides and related hazards, and cryospheric studies and observations. They have also published on methane hydrates and related phenomena, seismic imaging and inversion techniques, geophysical methods and applications, and geological formations and processes.

The scientist has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Arjen P. Stroeven, Bradley W. Goodfellow, Jens-Öve Näslund, April S. Dalton, and Helen E. Dulfer. These collaborations have contributed to a variety of studies across different subfields and topics.

Heyman's recent papers include the following:

  • Deglaciation of the north American ice sheet complex in calendar years based on a comprehensive database of chronological data: NADI-1 (2023, Quaternary Science Reviews)
  • The extreme yet transient nature of glacial erosion (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Present-Day Stress Field Influences Bedrock Fracture Openness Deep Into the Subsurface (2020, Geophysical Research Letters)
  • Glacial ripping: geomorphological evidence from Sweden for a new process of glacial erosion (2020, Geografiska Annaler Series A Physical Geography)
  • OCTOPUS database (v.2) (2022, Earth system science data)

Their frequent publication venues include Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America, Quaternary Science Reviews, Nature Communications, and Geophysical Research Letters.

Their research spans several subfields of study, such as atmospheric science, management, monitoring, policy and law, environmental chemistry, geophysics, and ocean engineering. This interdisciplinary scope reflects an engagement with complex environmental and geological processes at various scales.
