Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Astronomy

David T. Sandwell spends much of his time researching Geodesy, Seismology, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Altimeter and Lithosphere. David T. Sandwell conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Geodesy and Vertical deflection through his works. His work on Subduction, Tectonics and Lineation is typically connected to Trench as part of general Seismology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Altimeter research focuses on Bathymetry and how it relates to Depth sounding. His research integrates issues of Abyssal hill and Meteorology in his study of Lithosphere. His studies deal with areas such as Ridge and Geophysics as well as Gravity anomaly.

His most cited work include:

  • Global Sea Floor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship Depth Soundings (3632 citations)
  • Marine gravity anomaly from Geosat and ERS 1 satellite altimetry (1473 citations)
  • Global Bathymetry and Elevation Data at 30 Arc Seconds Resolution: SRTM30_PLUS (891 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geodesy, Seismology, Altimeter, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Bathymetry. His Geodesy research incorporates elements of Gravity, Gravity anomaly, Geoid, Seafloor spreading and Remote sensing. His Altimeter research includes themes of Oceanic basin, Satellite and Seamount.

His Interferometric synthetic aperture radar study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Earthquake rupture, Deformation and Subsidence. His research in Bathymetric chart and General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans are components of Bathymetry. He works mostly in the field of Lithosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to Geophysics and, in certain cases, Plate tectonics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (49.66%)
  • Seismology (36.21%)
  • Altimeter (18.97%)

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

  • Geodesy (49.66%)
  • Seismology (36.21%)
  • Geodetic datum (8.62%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geodesy, Seismology, Geodetic datum, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Bathymetry. His Geodesy research focuses on Altimeter in particular. David T. Sandwell combines subjects such as Ocean surface topography and Geoid with his study of Altimeter.

His work on San andreas fault, Tectonics and Seismic moment as part of general Seismology research is frequently linked to Pacific basin, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. David T. Sandwell has researched Interferometric synthetic aperture radar in several fields, including Series and Basin and range topography. His study on Bathymetry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Data editing that connect with fields like Computer graphics,
  • Arc and related Digital elevation model and Resolution.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Bathymetry and Topography at 15 Arc Sec: SRTM15+ (64 citations)
  • Tectonic and Anthropogenic Deformation at the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Step-Over Revealed by Sentinel-1A InSAR (45 citations)
  • Coseismic Displacements and Surface Fractures from Sentinel‐1 InSAR: 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes (28 citations)

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

  • Plate tectonics
  • Astronomy
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of study are Geodesy, Seismology, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Surface and Geodetic datum. David T. Sandwell works on Geodesy which deals in particular with Altimeter. His study in Altimeter is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arc, Waves and shallow water, Bathymetry and Digital elevation model.

His Seismology study incorporates themes from Vector field and Deformation. His Geodetic datum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Navigational instrument and Spatial reference system. His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Resampling and Gravity anomaly.
