Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar System
  • Thermodynamics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Mineralogy, Meteorite and Asteroid. His Astrobiology research includes themes of Spacecraft, Astronomy, Planet and Terrestrial planet. His work in Mars Exploration Program addresses subjects such as Neutron, which are connected to disciplines such as Spectrometer.

William V. Boynton has researched Mineralogy in several fields, including Volcano, Latitude, Soil water, Trace element and Middle latitudes. His research integrates issues of Abundance of the chemical elements, Cosmochemistry, Silicate and Petrogenesis in his study of Meteorite. His study in Asteroid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rubble, Solar System and Regolith.

His most cited work include:

  • Cosmochemistry of the rare earth elements: meteorite studies. (2432 citations)
  • Distribution of Hydrogen in the Near-Surface of Mars: Evidence for Subsurface Ice Deposits (751 citations)
  • Chicxulub Crater: A possible Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary impact crater on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico (684 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Astrophysics, Mars Exploration Program, Astrobiology, Computer vision and Artificial intelligence. His Astrophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Astronomy and Interplanetary spaceflight. His Mars Exploration Program research includes themes of Neutron, Mineralogy and Atmospheric sciences.

His studies deal with areas such as Spectrometer and Geophysics as well as Neutron. Mars odyssey, Regolith and Meteorite are the core of his Astrobiology study. His work on Triangulation as part of general Computer vision research is often related to Triangulation, thus linking different fields of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (25.77%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (25.51%)
  • Astrobiology (20.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Gamma-ray burst (19.23%)
  • Triangulation (18.21%)
  • Computer vision (20.13%)

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

William V. Boynton spends much of his time researching Gamma-ray burst, Triangulation, Computer vision, Artificial intelligence and Astrophysics. His Gamma-ray burst study is focused on Astronomy in general. The concepts of his Astronomy study are interwoven with issues in Neutron and Neutron detection.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Astrobiology and Neutron detection. Astrophysics is closely attributed to Interplanetary spaceflight in his study. William V. Boynton usually deals with Spacecraft and limits it to topics linked to Regolith and Asteroid.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu (210 citations)
  • OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu (168 citations)
  • The unexpected surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu (163 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Asteroid

His primary areas of investigation include Astrobiology, Astrophysics, Asteroid, Gamma-ray burst and Regolith. His Astrobiology study incorporates themes from Atmospheric entry, Latitude and Neutron detection. His Asteroid research integrates issues from Osiris, Spacecraft, Spacecraft design, Solar System and Mineral hydration.

His Gamma-ray burst research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gravitational wave, LIGO, Interplanetary spaceflight and Ejecta. His work carried out in the field of Regolith brings together such families of science as Mars Exploration Program, Neutron, Mineralogy, Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons and Remote sensing. William V. Boynton studies Mars Exploration Program, namely Gale crater.
