We formulate a resolution of singularities algorithm for analyzing the zero\nsets of real-analytic functions in dimensions \≥ 3. Rather than using the\ncelebrated result of Hironaka, the algorithm is modeled on a more explicit and\nelementary approach used in the contemporary algebraic geometry literature. As\nan application, we define a new notion of the height of real-analytic\nfunctions, compute the critical integrability index and obtain the sharp growth\nrate of sublevel sets. This also leads to a characterization of the oscillation\nindex of scalar oscillatory integrals with real-analytic phases in all\ndimensions.\n
