Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Computer vision
  • Astronomy

His main research concerns Titan, Remote sensing, Impact crater, Astrobiology and Mars Exploration Program. His research integrates issues of Atmospheric sciences, Radar observations, Radar imaging, High latitude and Landform in his study of Titan. His Remote sensing study focuses on Radar altimeter in particular.

His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Geomorphology and Regolith. His study in Astrobiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mini-Neptune, Neptune and Ice giant. The concepts of his Mars Exploration Program study are interwoven with issues in Pixel and Orbiter.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) (1011 citations)
  • Voyager 2 at neptune: imaging science results. (473 citations)
  • The lakes of Titan (442 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Titan, Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater and Astrobiology. His Remote sensing study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pixel, Orbiter, Terrain and High Resolution Stereo Camera. His Titan research includes elements of Tectonics, Fluvial, Atmospheric sciences, Synthetic aperture radar and Radar imaging.

In his study, Geodesy is strongly linked to Digital elevation model, which falls under the umbrella field of Mars Exploration Program. His Impact crater study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleontology, Aeolian processes, Geomorphology and Regolith. His research combines Spacecraft and Astrobiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (42.63%)
  • Titan (31.05%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (28.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Titan (31.05%)
  • Remote sensing (42.63%)
  • Impact crater (20.00%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Titan, Remote sensing, Impact crater, Mars Exploration Program and Astrobiology. His Titan research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Earth science, Fluvial, Paleontology, Depth sounding and Synthetic aperture radar. His Remote sensing research incorporates themes from Orbiter, Terrain and High Resolution Stereo Camera, Mars express.

His Impact crater study incorporates themes from Metre and Erosion. He has included themes like Spacecraft, Pixel and Regolith in his Mars Exploration Program study. His Astrobiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Motion and Scale.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Selection of the InSight Landing Site (88 citations)
  • Report of the IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements: 2015 (64 citations)
  • Thermally anomalous features in the subsurface of Enceladus’s south polar terrain (34 citations)

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

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Computer vision
  • Astronomy

Randolph L. Kirk spends much of his time researching Remote sensing, Mars Exploration Program, Titan, Terrain and High Resolution Stereo Camera. A large part of his Mars Exploration Program studies is devoted to Thermal Emission Imaging System. His Titan research includes themes of Paleontology, Tectonics, Lithosphere, Latitude and Topographic map.

His study in High Resolution Stereo Camera is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Moons of Mars, Superresolution and Exploration of Mars. He focuses mostly in the field of Regolith, narrowing it down to topics relating to Elysium and, in certain cases, Impact crater and Geomorphology. His Impact crater study is associated with Astrobiology.
