Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Oceanography

Ice shelf, Oceanography, Ice stream, Antarctic sea ice and Iceberg are his primary areas of study. His Ice shelf study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geomorphology, Glacier morphology, Glacier mass balance and Glacier ice accumulation. His study focuses on the intersection of Glacier ice accumulation and fields such as Ablation zone with connections in the field of Tidewater glacier cycle.

Pedro Skvarca merges Oceanography with Peninsula in his study. His Ice stream study frequently involves adjacent topics like Ice sheet. His Ice sheet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ice core, Antarctic ice sheet and Shelf ice.

His most cited work include:

  • Glacier acceleration and thinning after ice shelf collapse in the Larsen B embayment, Antarctica (558 citations)
  • Glacier Surge After Ice Shelf Collapse (317 citations)
  • Rapid Collapse of Northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Antarctica (288 citations)

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

Pedro Skvarca focuses on Glacier, Ice shelf, Oceanography, Climatology and Physical geography. His Glacier research includes elements of Front and Tidewater glacier cycle. In his work, Glacier ice accumulation and Atmospheric sciences is strongly intertwined with Glacier morphology, which is a subfield of Tidewater glacier cycle.

His studies in Ice shelf integrate themes in fields like Iceberg, Ice sheet, Antarctic sea ice and Ice stream. His research integrates issues of Elevation and Satellite imagery in his study of Physical geography. His Glacier mass balance research incorporates elements of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Accumulation zone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (51.28%)
  • Ice shelf (38.46%)
  • Oceanography (29.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Glacier (51.28%)
  • Physical geography (24.36%)
  • Ice field (23.08%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Ice field, Ice sheet and Ice shelf. His work deals with themes such as Front and Digital elevation model, which intersect with Glacier. His studies in Physical geography integrate themes in fields like Elevation and Cru.

The concepts of his Ice field study are interwoven with issues in Glacial period, Little ice age and Traverse. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synthetic aperture radar interferometry, Climatology and Glacier mass balance. His Ice shelf research is under the purview of Cryosphere.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Foehn winds link climate‐driven warming to ice shelf evolution in Antarctica (70 citations)
  • Dynamic Response of Sjögren Inlet Glaciers, Antarctic Peninsula, to Ice Shelf Breakup Derived from Multi-Mission Remote Sensing Time Series (68 citations)
  • Constraining glacier elevation and mass changes in South America (60 citations)

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

  • Glacier
  • Climate change
  • Ice sheet

Pedro Skvarca focuses on Ice sheet, Physical geography, Glacier, Ice shelf and Glacier morphology. His study ties his expertise on Glacier mass balance together with the subject of Ice sheet. As part of the same scientific family, Pedro Skvarca usually focuses on Physical geography, concentrating on Elevation and intersecting with Synthetic aperture radar interferometry and Tidewater.

His studies deal with areas such as Ice stream and Glacier ice accumulation as well as Ice shelf. His Glacier morphology research focuses on subjects like Geomorphology, which are linked to Remote sensing, Antarctic sea ice and Sea ice. His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oceanography and Atmospheric sciences.
