Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Gravitation
  • Geophysics

His main research concerns Gravitational field, Geodesy, Altimeter, Remote sensing and Gravity anomaly. The concepts of his Gravitational field study are interwoven with issues in Near-Earth object, Satellite and Geoid. His work carried out in the field of Geodesy brings together such families of science as Astrobiology, Impact crater and Asteroid.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Orbiter, Digital elevation model and Mars Exploration Program. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spacecraft, Planetary science, Lunar Laser Ranging experiment and Polar in addition to Remote sensing. His study focuses on the intersection of Gravity anomaly and fields such as Geophysics with connections in the field of Doppler radar, Clementine and Olympus Mons.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars (1068 citations)
  • Internal Structure and Early Thermal Evolution of Mars from Mars Global Surveyor Topography and Gravity (467 citations)
  • Recent Greenland Ice Mass Loss by Drainage System from Satellite Gravity Observations (340 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

David D. Rowlands mostly deals with Geodesy, Remote sensing, Orbit determination, Altimeter and Gravitational field. His work carried out in the field of Geodesy brings together such families of science as Spacecraft, Satellite and Spherical harmonics. As part of the same scientific family, David D. Rowlands usually focuses on Satellite, concentrating on Geopotential and intersecting with Geoid.

His Remote sensing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Orbiter and Gravimetry. His Altimeter research integrates issues from Lidar and Digital elevation model. His study in Gravitational field is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Impact crater, Geophysics, Crust, Gravity anomaly and Gravitation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (57.14%)
  • Remote sensing (43.57%)
  • Orbit determination (32.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Geophysics (17.14%)
  • Geodesy (57.14%)
  • Orbit determination (32.14%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Geophysics, Geodesy, Orbit determination, Remote sensing and Gravitational field. David D. Rowlands undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Geodesy and Field through his works. His research integrates issues of Spacecraft and Laser altimetry in his study of Orbit determination.

In his study, Altimeter is strongly linked to Geodetic datum, which falls under the umbrella field of Spacecraft. His Remote sensing study frequently links to related topics such as Orbiter. His work focuses on many connections between Gravitational field and other disciplines, such as Spherical harmonics, that overlap with his field of interest in Radius.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GRGM900C: A degree 900 lunar gravity model from GRAIL primary and extended mission data (100 citations)
  • The dynamic geophysical environment of (101955) Bennu based on OSIRIS-REx measurements (75 citations)
  • Summary of the results from the lunar orbiter laser altimeter after seven years in lunar orbit (56 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Geophysics
  • Gravitation

His primary areas of investigation include Geodesy, Geophysics, Spacecraft, Gravitational field and Orbit determination. His Geodesy research incorporates elements of Degree and Lunar gravity. His Spacecraft study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Orbiter, Geodetic datum and Remote sensing.

The Radiometer and Altimeter research David D. Rowlands does as part of his general Remote sensing study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Data set, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study looks at the relationship between Gravitational field and fields such as Spherical harmonics, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. David D. Rowlands connects Orbit determination with Range in his research.
