Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geophysics
  • Statistics
  • Oceanography

Jerry X. Mitrovica mainly investigates Sea level, Post-glacial rebound, Geophysics, Ice sheet and Climatology. His Sea level research includes elements of Glacier, Ice age, Last Glacial Maximum and Continental margin. His Post-glacial rebound research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crust, Isostasy, Pleistocene and Geodesy.

His work on Mantle as part of general Geophysics study is frequently linked to Geoid, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his study, Meltwater pulse 1A is strongly linked to Deglaciation, which falls under the umbrella field of Ice sheet. Jerry X. Mitrovica has included themes like Tide gauge, Climate change and Lead in his Climatology study.

His most cited work include:

  • The Last Glacial Maximum. (1918 citations)
  • Estimates of the Regional Distribution of Sea Level Rise over the 1950–2000 Period (534 citations)
  • Probabilistic assessment of sea level during the last interglacial stage (486 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Sea level, Post-glacial rebound, Geophysics, Ice sheet and Mantle. His Sea level study is focused on Oceanography in general. Jerry X. Mitrovica works mostly in the field of Post-glacial rebound, limiting it down to topics relating to Geodesy and, in certain cases, Tectonics.

His Geophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geodynamics, Convection and Lithosphere. His studies deal with areas such as Glacial period, Deglaciation, Ice stream, Ice-sheet model and Antarctic ice sheet as well as Ice sheet. His research on Mantle also deals with topics like

  • Plate tectonics most often made with reference to Mantle convection,
  • Ocean surface topography and related Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sea level (37.36%)
  • Post-glacial rebound (29.31%)
  • Geophysics (26.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Sea level (37.36%)
  • Ice sheet (26.15%)
  • Post-glacial rebound (29.31%)

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

Jerry X. Mitrovica spends much of his time researching Sea level, Ice sheet, Post-glacial rebound, Oceanography and Glacial period. His Sea level study introduces a deeper knowledge of Physical geography. His Ice sheet study combines topics in areas such as Climate change, Climatology, Deglaciation and Acceleration.

His Climatology research integrates issues from Geodetic datum and Climate model. His studies in Post-glacial rebound integrate themes in fields like Geophysics, Transition zone and Geodesy. His Oceanography research includes themes of Interglacial and Spatial variability.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Was the Laurentide Ice Sheet significantly reduced during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (21 citations)
  • Oceanic forcing of penultimate deglacial and last interglacial sea-level rise (13 citations)
  • Origin of spatial variation in US East Coast sea-level trends during 1900–2017 (13 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Geophysics

Jerry X. Mitrovica mainly focuses on Ice sheet, Climate change, Sea level, Deglaciation and Post-glacial rebound. His Ice sheet research incorporates elements of Climatology and Last Glacial Maximum. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Meltwater, Geodetic datum and Climate model.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Altimeter, Lead and Environmental planning, Comprehensive planning. His study on Sea level is covered under Oceanography. His Post-glacial rebound research is under the purview of Glacial period.
