Overview

David Crisp is affiliated with the California Institute of Technology in the United States and has contributed extensively to research in environmental science and earth and planetary sciences. Their body of work spans several subfields, including atmospheric science, global and planetary change, astronomy and astrophysics, aerospace engineering, and spectroscopy.

The scientist's research focuses primarily on atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, atmospheric ozone and climate, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, calibration and measurement techniques, spectroscopy and laser applications, hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, and planetary science and exploration.

Recent significant publications reflect a focus on carbon cycle monitoring, atmospheric measurements, and planetary exploration. Notable papers include:

  • "OCO-3 early mission operations and initial (vEarly) XCO2 and SIF retrievals" (2020), published in Remote Sensing of Environment
  • "Toward an Operational Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions Monitoring and Verification Support Capacity" (2020), published in Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
  • "Advances in quantifying power plant CO2 emissions with OCO-2" (2021), published in Remote Sensing of Environment
  • "Revealing the Mysteries of Venus: The DAVINCI Mission" (2022), published in The Planetary Science Journal
  • "Four years of global carbon cycle observed from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) version 9 and in situ data and comparison to OCO-2 version 7" (2022), published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, Remote Sensing of Environment, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, arXiv (Cornell University), and the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
