Dr. Campbell uses a variety of remote sensing techniques to study the Earth and the planets, with special emphasis on radar backscatter data. His current research interests include radar remote sensing of volcanic and impact crater deposits on Venus and the Moon, Venus geologic mapping, and development of improved radar scattering models for planetary surfaces. Dr. Campbell is also leading an effort to develop a Mars orbital radar mission under the NASA Scouts Program.
