Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Geophysics

Roger J. Phillips mostly deals with Mars Exploration Program, Geophysics, Astrobiology, Crust and Mantle. His research integrates issues of Radar, Paleontology and Orbiter in his study of Mars Exploration Program. His studies in Geophysics integrate themes in fields like Tectonics, Lithosphere and Heat flux.

His Astrobiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Northern Hemisphere, Planet and Solar wind. His Crust research incorporates elements of Lunar magma ocean, Mineralogy and Petrology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gravity anomaly and Mantle convection in addition to Mantle.

His most cited work include:

  • Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars (1068 citations)
  • The Global Topography of Mars and Implications for Surface Evolution (712 citations)
  • The Crust of the Moon as Seen by GRAIL (470 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Geophysics, Mars Exploration Program, Crust, Astrobiology and Impact crater. As part of the same scientific family, Roger J. Phillips usually focuses on Geophysics, concentrating on Venus and intersecting with Tectonics. His research in Mars Exploration Program tackles topics such as Radar which are related to areas like Remote sensing.

His work carried out in the field of Crust brings together such families of science as Bouguer anomaly, Tharsis and Petrology. His research on Astrobiology often connects related topics like Planet. His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Volcano and Structural basin, Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (42.49%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (33.72%)
  • Crust (17.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Geophysics (42.49%)
  • Petrology (7.39%)
  • Impact crater (14.32%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geophysics, Petrology, Impact crater, Crust and Mars Exploration Program. His Geophysics research integrates issues from Magnetic field, Magnetization, Geodesy, Gravity and Lithosphere. Roger J. Phillips has included themes like Volcanism and Tectonics in his Petrology study.

His Impact crater study also includes

  • Porosity which intersects with area such as Lunar craters and Mineralogy,
  • Structural basin that intertwine with fields like Gravitational field and Gravity anomaly. In his research on the topic of Crust, Electrical resistivity and conductivity is strongly related with Mantle. His study in Mars Exploration Program is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Radar, Orbiter and Polar.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Lunar impact basins revealed by Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory measurements (88 citations)
  • Low-altitude magnetic field measurements by MESSENGER reveal Mercury’s ancient crustal field (49 citations)
  • An ice age recorded in the polar deposits of Mars. (42 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Geophysics

Roger J. Phillips mostly deals with Geophysics, Crust, Mars Exploration Program, Impact crater and Polar. His Geophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Planet, Northern Hemisphere, Magnetic field and Petrology. The Crust study combines topics in areas such as Lunar craters and Mantle.

His Mars Exploration Program study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Paleontology. His Impact crater research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Structural basin and Remote sensing. Roger J. Phillips combines subjects such as Ice age, Milankovitch cycles, Climate change and Erosion with his study of Polar.
