His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Teleconnection, Maya and Ice core.
His most cited work include:
- Improvements in 230Th dating, 230Th and 234U half-life values, and U–Th isotopic measurements by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (657 citations)
- Development and Disintegration of Maya Political Systems in Response to Climate Change (299 citations)
- Unique Meteorite from Early Amazonian Mars: Water-Rich Basaltic Breccia Northwest Africa 7034 (242 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Victor J. Polyak mainly investigates Cave, Stalagmite, Oceanography, Climatology and Speleothem.
The Cave study combines topics in areas such as Geochemistry, Paleontology, Mineralogy and Calcite.
As a member of one scientific family, Victor J. Polyak mostly works in the field of Stalagmite, focusing on Physical geography and, on occasion, Quaternary.
Victor J. Polyak combines topics linked to Glacial period with his work on Oceanography.
His Climatology research includes elements of Teleconnection, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation.
Victor J. Polyak focuses mostly in the field of Speleothem, narrowing it down to matters related to Interglacial and, in some cases, Sea level and Phreatic.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Physical geography, Sea level, Cave, Interglacial and Stalagmite.
Victor J. Polyak combines subjects such as Speleothem, Agriculture, Tropics and Holocene with his study of Physical geography.
He regularly links together related areas like Pleistocene in his Speleothem studies.
He has included themes like Geochemistry, Post-glacial rebound, Quaternary and Chronology in his Cave study.
His Stalagmite study incorporates themes from Arid, Climatology, Flooding and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
His work carried out in the field of Mediterranean climate brings together such families of science as Oceanography and Isostasy.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
