Research projects include&colon; glaciology, seismology, oceanography, coastal ecology, biology, geology, and limnology. Research carried out includes geodesy/mapping, glaciology, human biology, meteorological observations, geology and geophysics. Harrison's research is in martian geomorphology and terrestrial analogues, spectroscopy and glaciology. Glaciology and glacial geology are key areas of polar research. Research is conducted by an international team of scientists, studying climatology, glaciology and microbiology. Major accomplishments were made in geology, glaciology and terrestrial biology. Areas of study within glaciology include glacial history and the reconstruction of past glaciation. Aside from his own work in ornithology, he wrote on anthropology evolution glaciology and economics. Today the geologists of different nations are taking more of an interest in Pleistocene glaciology. Ramesh also announced the initiation of an Indian National Institute of Himalayan Glaciology. Mathematics in Glaciology consists of theoretical, experimental, and modeling. Lochans are also used by a variety of scientists in the field of glaciology. Their study and methods were considered a "breakthrough" in the new field of glaciology. After the War he returned briefly to glaciology. The corresponding area of study is called glaciology.
