Douglas Rowland is an astrophysicist in the Space Weather Laboratory of the Heliophysics Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. His research interests include suprathermal particle acceleration and ion-neutral coupling throughout near-Earth space. He has developed small satellite, space station, and sounding rocket experiments to study topics ranging from electron energization over thunderstorms to ion-neutral drift coupling and atmospheric escape processes. He is the Principal Investigator for the VISIONS sounding rocket missions, Mission Scientist for NASA’s ICON mission, and the Deputy PI for the MEME-X Small Explorer Phase A study.
