2006 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Geophysics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geodesy, Post-glacial rebound, Very-long-baseline interferometry, Geodetic datum and Seismology. The Geodesy study combines topics in areas such as Tectonics, Elevation, Gravity, Solid earth and Hydrology. His Post-glacial rebound research incorporates elements of Geophysics, Mantle, Crust, Deglaciation and Isostasy.

His research in Very-long-baseline interferometry intersects with topics in Gravitation, Troposphere and Interferometry. His study in Interferometry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mesosphere, Path length, Atmospheric model, Kalman filter and Remote sensing. He interconnects Refraction and Depth sounding in the investigation of issues within Seismology.

His most cited work include:

  • Electromagnetic determination of soil water content: Measurements in coaxial transmission lines (3918 citations)
  • Geodesy by radio interferometry: Effects of atmospheric modeling errors on estimates of baseline length (873 citations)
  • Recent mass balance of polar ice sheets inferred from patterns of global sea-level change (417 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geodesy, Geodetic datum, Glacier, Climatology and Remote sensing. His work on Very-long-baseline interferometry as part of general Geodesy study is frequently connected to Baseline, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Very-long-baseline interferometry research includes themes of Troposphere, Radiometer and Interferometry.

His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hydrology, Sea level and Atmospheric pressure. His work deals with themes such as Atmosphere and Water vapor, which intersect with Remote sensing. In his study, Ice sheet is strongly linked to Geophysics, which falls under the umbrella field of Post-glacial rebound.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (41.12%)
  • Geodetic datum (17.26%)
  • Glacier (17.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Geodesy (41.12%)
  • Climatology (16.75%)
  • Sea level (12.69%)

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

James L. Davis focuses on Geodesy, Climatology, Sea level, Geodetic datum and Journal club. His work carried out in the field of Geodesy brings together such families of science as Scale and Ice stream. His studies deal with areas such as Glacier, Hydrology and Atmospheric pressure as well as Climatology.

His studies in Sea level integrate themes in fields like Geodynamics, Isostasy, Geophysics and Earth crust. His research integrates issues of Three dimensional deformation and Post-glacial rebound, Isostatic depression in his study of Geodynamics. His Geodetic datum research includes elements of Deformation, Assisted GPS, Plate tectonics and Very-long-baseline interferometry.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tidal tomography constrains Earth’s deep-mantle buoyancy (67 citations)
  • Bifrost: Observing the Three‐Dimensional Deformation of Fennoscandia (28 citations)
  • Causes of accelerating sea level on the East Coast of North America. (19 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Geophysics

James L. Davis mostly deals with Geodesy, Sea level, Geodetic datum, Geophysics and Climatology. His Geodesy study combines topics in areas such as Glacier ice accumulation, Glacier, Glacier mass balance, Accumulation zone and Mean flow. The concepts of his Sea level study are interwoven with issues in Acceleration, Gravitational field and Barometer.

His Geodetic datum study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deformation, Plate tectonics and Very-long-baseline interferometry. He focuses mostly in the field of Geophysics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Isostasy and, in certain cases, Three dimensional deformation, Isostatic depression and Post-glacial rebound. His work in the fields of Climatology, such as Ocean current and Ocean dynamics, overlaps with other areas such as Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Attraction.
