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

Ralph D. Lorenz spends much of his time researching Titan, Astrobiology, Atmospheric sciences, Mars Exploration Program and Remote sensing. His studies deal with areas such as Impact crater, Geophysics, Latitude, Methane and Radar as well as Titan. His Radar research incorporates elements of Synthetic aperture radar, Altimeter and Terrain.

His Astrobiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spacecraft and Planet. His research brings together the fields of Atmosphere and Atmospheric sciences. His study in Dust devil is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vortex and Meteorology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Titan (57.71%)
  • Astrobiology (37.87%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (18.04%)

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

  • Titan (57.71%)
  • Astrobiology (37.87%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (15.29%)

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

His primary areas of study are Titan, Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Dust devil and Geophysics. His Titan study also includes fields such as

  • Methane, which have a strong connection to Nitrogen,
  • Radar which is related to area like Altimeter. His research investigates the connection between Astrobiology and topics such as Habitability that intersect with issues in Solar System.

Ralph D. Lorenz interconnects Atmosphere, Wind speed, Seismometer and Atmospheric sciences in the investigation of issues within Mars Exploration Program. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Planetary boundary layer and Turbulence. His Dust devil study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vortex and Remote sensing.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars (77 citations)
  • Constraints on the shallow elastic and anelastic structure of Mars from InSight seismic data (58 citations)
  • The atmosphere of Mars as observed by InSight (57 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mars Exploration Program, Titan, Astrobiology, Dust devil and Atmosphere. He has researched Mars Exploration Program in several fields, including Wind speed, Seismometer and Atmospheric sciences.
