Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oceanography
  • Astronomy

His main research concerns Sea level, Ice sheet, Oceanography, Climatology and Glacial period. His study in Sea level is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tectonics, Last Glacial Maximum, Holocene, Interglacial and Glacier. His Ice sheet study incorporates themes from Arctic ice pack, Antarctic sea ice, Ice-sheet model and Deglaciation.

His Deglaciation research incorporates elements of Arctic sea ice decline, Ice age, Physical geography and Before Present. His Glacial period study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tide gauge and Lead. The concepts of his Post-glacial rebound study are interwoven with issues in Lithosphere and Geophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • Sea-level and deep water temperature changes derived from benthic foraminifera isotopic records (1518 citations)
  • Sea Level Change Through the Last Glacial Cycle (1424 citations)
  • Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. (897 citations)

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

Kurt Lambeck mostly deals with Sea level, Ice sheet, Oceanography, Geodesy and Post-glacial rebound. He has included themes like Paleontology, Last Glacial Maximum, Holocene, Shore and Isostasy in his Sea level study. His work carried out in the field of Ice sheet brings together such families of science as Glacial period, Deglaciation, Climatology, Physical geography and Ice-sheet model.

The Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Marine isotope stage, Quaternary, Interglacial, Elevation and Mediterranean climate. His Geodesy research includes themes of Plate tectonics, Geophysics, Earth and Rotation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mantle and Asthenosphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sea level (37.71%)
  • Ice sheet (32.68%)
  • Oceanography (31.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Sea level (37.71%)
  • Oceanography (31.84%)
  • Ice sheet (32.68%)

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

Kurt Lambeck mainly focuses on Sea level, Oceanography, Ice sheet, Holocene and Interglacial. The Marine terrace research Kurt Lambeck does as part of his general Sea level study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Context, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Elevation, Glacial period and Mediterranean climate.

His studies deal with areas such as Paleontology, Climatology and Antarctic sea ice as well as Ice sheet. His work carried out in the field of Holocene brings together such families of science as Coral reef and Seabed. His Deglaciation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ice age, Marine transgression and Physical geography.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. (897 citations)
  • Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. (897 citations)
  • Sea level change along the Italian coast during the Holocene and projections for the future (305 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of investigation include Ice sheet, Sea level, Holocene, Climatology and Physical geography. His study with Ice sheet involves better knowledge in Oceanography. His biological study focuses on Marine terrace.

His research in Holocene is mostly concerned with Last Glacial Maximum. Ice age, Current, Marine transgression, Coastal plain and Tectonics is closely connected to Deglaciation in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Climatology. He combines subjects such as Global change, Political economy of climate change, Sustainability and Greenhouse gas with his study of Physical geography.
