Another notable and highly original contribution is his transition zone water filter concept developed with Shun Karato, in which water and other volatiles circulate independently of the major solid constituents and concentrate in the mantle transition zone. In recent years, Bercovici has also taken key leadership roles in the problem of climate change, as deputy and co-director of the Yale Climate & Energy Institute from 2009-2015 and now co-director of the Yale Center for Natural Carbon.

These campaigns, put together, amount to more time than in the previous 17 years of Jupiter observations combined. Using the data planned by himself and the team he led, William Dunn derived compelling results that have significantly shifted the understanding of Jupiter’s X-ray auroral process, including the discovery published in Nature Astronomy of the independent behavior of X-ray emissions at both hemispheres of Jupiter.
