Question 3

Who are the leading researchers in Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics?

Accepted Answer

The most-cited researchers publishing on Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics include Philippe Ciais, P. Jackson and Paul M. Thompson.

Question 4

Where is Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Moscow (Russia), Qingdao (China) and Shanghai (China). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Bremerhaven, Fairbanks and Sevastopol'.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder and Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology score highest, combining citation excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.

Is Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics research growing?

Accepted Answer

Output in 2022-2025 was 0% lower than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2021.

Question 7

What are the most cited papers in Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics?

Accepted Answer

The most cited paper in Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics is "Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late nineteenth century" (Nick A Rayner, D. E. Parker, E. B. Horton et al., 2003), with 11,470 citations. Next come "Anomalous collapses of Nares Strait ice arches leads to enhanced export of Arctic sea ice" (5,198) and "An Improved In Situ and Satellite SST Analysis for Climate" (4,684).
