2014Areas of Interest
geophysics, sea level, isostasy, ice ages, global warming, mantle convection
MITROVICA, Jerry X. – Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Sciences,
Harvard University
For seminal contributions to the theory of planetary deformation and patterns of sea-level change that
occur in response to surface loading and mantle convection, with applications to the mantle viscosity
structure, orbital history, rotational stability, ice-age terminations and global warming.

Pour les contributions séminales à la théorie de la déformation planétaire et des modèles de changement
de niveau de la mer qui se produisent en réponse à une charge de surface et la convection du manteau,
avec des applications à la structure de la viscosité du manteau, l’histoire orbitale, la stabilité de rotation, les
terminaisons de la période glaciaire et le réchauffement climatique planétaire.
