Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Geophysics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geophysics, Substorm, Plasma sheet, Magnetosphere and Ionosphere. Eric Donovan combines subjects such as Computational physics, Earth's magnetic field, Astrophysics, Field line and Arc with his study of Geophysics. His Substorm research integrates issues from Remote sensing, Breakup, Current sheet, Magnetic reconnection and Solar wind.

His Plasma sheet research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wavelength, Geomagnetic storm, Geostationary orbit and Conjunction. Eric Donovan has included themes like Spacecraft, Magnetometer and Emission spectrum in his Magnetosphere study. In general Ionosphere, his work in TEC is often linked to Environmental science linking many areas of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Tail reconnection triggering substorm onset. (445 citations)
  • The Electric Field and Waves Instruments on the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission (316 citations)
  • The THEMIS Array of Ground-based Observatories for the Study of Auroral Substorms (261 citations)

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

Geophysics, Substorm, Magnetosphere, Ionosphere and Plasma sheet are his primary areas of study. In his study, Atmospheric sciences is inextricably linked to Solar wind, which falls within the broad field of Geophysics. His studies deal with areas such as Instability, Latitude, Breakup, Astrophysics and Arc as well as Substorm.

His studies in Magnetosphere integrate themes in fields like Spacecraft and Magnetometer. His Ionosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geomagnetic storm and Geodesy. His Plasma sheet study incorporates themes from Local time, Magnetic reconnection and Polar.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (51.90%)
  • Substorm (37.91%)
  • Magnetosphere (29.15%)

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

  • Geophysics (51.90%)
  • Ionosphere (28.91%)
  • Magnetosphere (29.15%)

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

Eric Donovan focuses on Geophysics, Ionosphere, Magnetosphere, Substorm and Computational physics. His study focuses on the intersection of Geophysics and fields such as Latitude with connections in the field of Sky and Astrophysics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ring current, Convection, Plasma sheet and Atmospheric sciences in addition to Ionosphere.

The concepts of his Magnetosphere study are interwoven with issues in Remote sensing, Local time, Astronomy and Current sheet. The Substorm study combines topics in areas such as Arc, Magnetometer, Radar observations and Surge. His research in Computational physics intersects with topics in Field line and Electron heating.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS) (131 citations)
  • New science in plain sight: Citizen scientists lead to the discovery of optical structure in the upper atmosphere (57 citations)
  • On the Origin of STEVE: Particle Precipitation or Ionospheric Skyglow? (32 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Artificial intelligence

Eric Donovan spends much of his time researching Geophysics, Ionosphere, Convection, Optics and Magnetosphere. His Geophysics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Latitude. Eric Donovan focuses mostly in the field of Latitude, narrowing it down to matters related to Electron precipitation and, in some cases, Electron temperature and Computational physics.

His Ionosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ring current, Super Dual Auroral Radar Network, Atmospheric sciences and Plasma sheet. Eric Donovan interconnects Flow velocity and Astrophysics, Sky in the investigation of issues within Convection. His Magnetosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Brightness, Conjugate, Magnetometer and Current sheet.
