Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Electron
  • Solar wind
  • Astronomy

David G. Sibeck mainly focuses on Geophysics, Magnetopause, Magnetosphere, Solar wind and Interplanetary magnetic field. His studies deal with areas such as Computational physics, Noon, Bow shocks in astrophysics, Astrophysics and Field line as well as Geophysics. He is interested in Magnetosheath, which is a field of Magnetopause.

David G. Sibeck has researched Magnetosphere in several fields, including Magnetic reconnection, Atmospheric sciences, Ionosphere and Geodesy. His Solar wind study incorporates themes from Astrobiology, Dynamic pressure, Earth's magnetic field and Flow velocity. As a member of one scientific family, David G. Sibeck mostly works in the field of Interplanetary magnetic field, focusing on Magnetic flux and, on occasion, Magnetosphere particle motion.

His most cited work include:

  • Science Objectives and Rationale for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission (611 citations)
  • Tail reconnection triggering substorm onset. (445 citations)
  • Solar wind control of the magnetopause shape, location, and motion (441 citations)

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

Geophysics, Magnetosphere, Solar wind, Magnetopause and Magnetosheath are his primary areas of study. His work focuses on many connections between Geophysics and other disciplines, such as Interplanetary magnetic field, that overlap with his field of interest in Geodesy. In his research on the topic of Magnetosphere, Electron is strongly related with Computational physics.

His work in the fields of Solar wind, such as Bow shocks in astrophysics, overlaps with other areas such as Foreshock. His work on Subsolar point as part of general Magnetopause research is frequently linked to Flux, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work deals with themes such as Mechanics and Flux transfer event, which intersect with Magnetosheath.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (49.60%)
  • Magnetosphere (41.87%)
  • Solar wind (39.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Magnetosphere (41.87%)
  • Geophysics (49.60%)
  • Solar wind (39.68%)

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

Magnetosphere, Geophysics, Solar wind, Magnetopause and Computational physics are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Magnetosphere and topics such as Ionosphere that intersect with issues in Electron precipitation. His work is dedicated to discovering how Geophysics, Van Allen radiation belt are connected with Hiss, Geosynchronous orbit, Atmospheric sciences and Ring current and other disciplines.

His work on Interplanetary magnetic field and Bow shocks in astrophysics as part of general Solar wind study is frequently connected to Foreshock, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. David G. Sibeck is involved in the study of Magnetopause that focuses on Magnetosheath in particular. As a part of the same scientific study, David G. Sibeck usually deals with the Computational physics, concentrating on Electron and frequently concerns with Astronomy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Jets Downstream of Collisionless Shocks (45 citations)
  • Ultra‐relativistic radiation belt extinction and ULF wave radial diffusion: Modeling the September 2014 extended dropout event (23 citations)
  • On the effect of geomagnetic storms on relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt: Van Allen Probes observations† (22 citations)

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

  • Electron
  • Astronomy
  • Solar wind

His scientific interests lie mostly in Solar wind, Computational physics, Magnetopause, Geophysics and Magnetosphere. His study in the fields of Bow shocks in astrophysics and Interplanetary magnetic field under the domain of Solar wind overlaps with other disciplines such as Foreshock. His Computational physics research integrates issues from Energy, Relativistic particle, Plasma and Kinetic energy.

His Magnetopause study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Line, Vortex and Magnetic reconnection. His Geophysics research includes elements of Van Allen radiation belt, Earth radius, Polarization and Wave power. His Magnetosphere research incorporates elements of Electron, Magnetohydrodynamics and Ionosphere.
