Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geophysics
  • Geometry
  • Subduction

Patrick Wu focuses on Post-glacial rebound, Geophysics, Deglaciation, Lithosphere and Mantle. His work carried out in the field of Post-glacial rebound brings together such families of science as Drainage basin, Intraplate earthquake and Compressibility. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glacial period, Earth structure and Geodesy.

His work deals with themes such as Seismology, Fault and Gravity anomaly, which intersect with Deglaciation. When carried out as part of a general Lithosphere research project, his work on Asthenosphere is frequently linked to work in Dislocation creep and Diffusion creep, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His studies examine the connections between Mantle and genetics, as well as such issues in Ice sheet, with regards to Seismotectonics.

His most cited work include:

  • Rheology of the Upper Mantle: A Synthesis (1252 citations)
  • Viscous gravitational relaxation (347 citations)
  • Pleistocene deglaciation and the Earth's rotation: a new analysis (240 citations)

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

Patrick Wu mainly investigates Post-glacial rebound, Mantle, Geophysics, Sea level and Geodesy. His Post-glacial rebound research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seismology, Deglaciation and Lithosphere. His work on Asthenosphere as part of general Lithosphere research is often related to Viscosity, thus linking different fields of science.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Laurentia and Transition zone in addition to Mantle. The Geophysics study combines topics in areas such as Geodynamics and Gravity anomaly. His Sea level study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climatology, Isostasy and Holocene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Post-glacial rebound (66.88%)
  • Mantle (38.31%)
  • Geophysics (35.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Post-glacial rebound (66.88%)
  • Sea level (29.22%)
  • Physical geography (7.79%)

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

His main research concerns Post-glacial rebound, Sea level, Physical geography, Mantle and Lithosphere. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sea level change and Last Glacial Maximum. His Sea level research integrates issues from Climatology and Holocene.

The Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Mineralogy, Petrology and Geodesy. His studies examine the connections between Glacial period and genetics, as well as such issues in Seismology, with regards to Stress. His research on Ice sheet frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Deglaciation.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Groundwater storage changes in the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas revealed from GRACE satellite gravity data (61 citations)
  • Intraplate seismicity in northern Central Europe is induced by the last glaciation (41 citations)
  • Water storage changes in North America retrieved from GRACE gravity and GPS data (14 citations)

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

  • Geometry
  • Geophysics
  • Gravitation

His primary areas of study are Post-glacial rebound, Sea level change, Geomorphology, Viscosity and Paleontology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Seismology and Induced seismicity. His Sea level change study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Lithosphere.

Patrick Wu combines subjects such as Gravity of Earth and Bay with his study of Geomorphology. His Sea level research incorporates elements of Snow, Climatology and Water resources. His work in Period addresses subjects such as Holocene, which are connected to disciplines such as Fault.
