Michael Bevis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Bevis is a geophysicist . He is a professor at Ohio State University .

Life

Bevis received his PhD from Cornell University in 1982 . From 1982 to 1994 he was an assistant and associate professor of geophysics at North Carolina State University . From 1994 to 2004 he was professor of geophysics and geodesy at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa . Since 2005 he has been Professor of Geodynamics at Ohio State University.

Act

Bevis made a name for himself primarily through the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to research the earth's surface and thus became a pioneer in GPS meteorology . Since 2007 he has been using this technology to research the polar ice caps . A study by Bevis in 2019 caused a stir, in which he and his co-authors were able to show that the Greenland ice sheet is melting faster and thus contributing to a more rapid rise in sea levels than previous calculations had shown; the authors attributed this in particular to the overheating of the earth's climate system , which is causing the surface mass of Greenland to melt towards the southwest - an effect that has hardly been taken into account in previous calculations. A complete melting of the Greenland ice would raise the sea level by about seven meters.
