His Electric field research integrates issues from Classical mechanics, Condensed matter physics, Debye length, Magnetic field and Electric current.

His most cited work include:

  • Cluster observations of an intense normal component of the electric field at a thin reconnecting current sheet in the tail and its role in the shock-like acceleration of the ion fluid into the separatrix region (228 citations)
  • Tracing the topology of the October 18–20, 1995, magnetic cloud with ∼0.1–10² keV electrons (189 citations)
  • The Solar Wind Ion Analyzer for MAVEN (181 citations)

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

J. P. McFadden focuses on Geophysics, Magnetosphere, Ion, Computational physics and Ionosphere. His Geophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Solar wind, Magnetic field, Plasma, Plasma sheet and Substorm. His research in Magnetosphere is mostly concerned with Magnetopause.

His research investigates the link between Ion and topics such as Astrobiology that cross with problems in Space weather. He has included themes like Electron, Particle acceleration, Electric field, Field line and Alfvén wave in his Computational physics study. His Electron research includes elements of Optics, Flux and Atomic physics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (43.98%)
  • Magnetosphere (22.49%)
  • Ion (22.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (19.28%)
  • Martian (14.26%)
  • Astrobiology (16.27%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mars Exploration Program, Martian, Astrobiology, Ion and Geophysics. The various areas that J. P. McFadden examines in his Mars Exploration Program study include Ionosphere and Magnetosphere, Magnetic field, Solar wind. His work carried out in the field of Solar wind brings together such families of science as Atmosphere and Computational physics.

His study looks at the relationship between Martian and fields such as Electron, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ion, Atomic physics is strongly linked to Plasma. His Geophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magnetopause, Helmholtz free energy, Flux and Vortex.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS) (131 citations)
  • Structure, dynamics, and seasonal variability of the Mars‐solar wind interaction: MAVEN Solar Wind Ion Analyzer in‐flight performance and science results (108 citations)
  • Loss of the Martian atmosphere to space: Present-day loss rates determined from MAVEN observations and integrated loss through time (102 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Magnetic field

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Martian, Geophysics, Solar wind and Atmosphere of Mars. His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Ion, Magnetic field and Ionosphere. His Ion research incorporates themes from Plume and Plasma.

The concepts of his Ionosphere study are interwoven with issues in Solar irradiance and Electric field. J. P. McFadden has researched Geophysics in several fields, including Computational physics, Electron and Altitude. J. P. McFadden interconnects Magnetosphere and Atmospheric sciences in the investigation of issues within Solar wind.
