Jun-Yi Guo

<p>Jun-Yi Guo is a Professor of Teaching, Division of Geodetic Science, School of Earth Sciences, The Ohio State University. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree in geodesy from the Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping (now integrated into Wuhan University), China, and a Doctor of Science degree from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. He is a theoretical/mathematical geodesist/geophysicist specializing in the modelling of physical systems and in physical-problem-specific methodologies of data analysis. His publications cover a wide range of topics including surface loading theory, formulation and detection of the inner core wobble, formulation of outer core flow, detection of the Slichter modes, processing of Level 1B and Level 2 data of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), prediction of Earth orientation parameters (EOPs) etc. His long-term professional aspiration lies in advancing fundamental theories in geodesy and geophysics in global scale, particularly, the theory of Earth deformation, which is associated with variations of gravity and rotation of the Earth.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before joining The Ohio State University, he was a professor of geodesy at the Wuhan University, where he taught theoretical courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He wrote lecture notes of his own for the courses in &ldquo;Physical Geodesy&rdquo; and &ldquo;Geophysics,&rdquo; leading to the publication of two textbooks in Chinese. Realizing the lack of similar textbooks in the English literature, he has completely rewritten them in English and updated them to reflect recent advances. These efforts led to the publication of two textbooks by Springer entitled &ldquo;Physical Geodesy: A Theoretical Introduction&rdquo; and &ldquo;Physical Geodesy: Global Elastic Deformation of the Earth.&rdquo;</p>
